Safe and effective mine sealing is an essential part of underground mining operations and mine closure projects. The MineMate is engineered as reliable underground mine sealing equipment, combining advanced concrete mixing and high-pressure pumping technology in a single compact machine. Designed for underground environments, it also serves as dependable mine closure concrete equipment, helping contractors complete sealing, grouting, and shotcrete applications with greater efficiency and consistency.
By integrating continuous mixing with powerful pumping capabilities, the MineMate simplifies underground concrete placement while reducing labor and equipment requirements.
Purpose-Built Underground Mine Sealing Equipment
The MineMate is specifically designed for projects where concrete and grout must be mixed and pumped underground without access to ready-mix concrete. Its integrated system combines a 3" × 24" ultra high-pressure swing tube piston pump with a high shear continuous mixer, allowing operators to produce and pump material directly at the job site.
Its low-profile design enables operation in underground workings with ceiling heights as low as 6 feet, making it ideal for confined mining environments.
High-Pressure Concrete Pumping Performance
Reliable material placement is essential for creating durable mine seals and supporting mine closure activities. The MineMate delivers powerful pumping performance with:
3" × 24" Ultra High Pressure Swing Tube Piston Pump
Maximum pumping pressure of 2,200 PSI
Production capacity of 0–12 cubic yards per hour
Heavy-duty 3-inch discharge system
Material pumping distances exceeding 500 feet
These capabilities help ensure efficient delivery of concrete and grout to hard-to-reach underground locations.
Continuous Mixing for Consistent Concrete Quality
The MineMate features a high shear continuous mixer that continuously blends materials before pumping. This integrated mixing process produces a consistent concrete or grout mixture, helping improve the quality and reliability of mine seals and structural support applications.
A built-in screw conveyor with a material bin indicator continuously feeds material into the mixer, reducing downtime and maintaining a steady workflow throughout the project.
Ideal Mine Closure Concrete Equipment
The MineMate is designed to support a wide range of underground mining and construction applications, including:
Permanent underground mine sealing
Mine closure concrete placement
Cement grouting
Underground shotcrete
Tunnel stabilization
Void filling
Structural reinforcement
Remote mining operations where ready-mix concrete is unavailable
Its combination of compact size and high-performance pumping makes it well suited for demanding underground projects.
Flexible Power Options
To accommodate different operating environments, the MineMate is available with two dependable power configurations:
50 HP Electric Motor with starter and disconnect
66 HP Kubota V3600 Water-Cooled Diesel Engine
These options provide flexibility for both electrically powered mine sites and remote underground operations.
Optional Equipment
The MineMate can be equipped with optional features to improve productivity and operator convenience:
Hydraulic receiving hopper agitator
Pendant remote control
Wireless remote control
Hydraulic pressure washer
These accessories simplify operation while supporting efficient equipment maintenance.
