Efficient grouting is essential for maintaining the stability, safety, and productivity of underground mining operations. The MineMate is a purpose-built underground mine grouting system that combines high-pressure pumping with continuous material mixing to deliver reliable performance in challenging underground environments. Designed as advanced mining grouting equipment, the MineMate supports mine sealing, cement grouting, and underground shotcrete applications where ready-mix concrete is not available.
Its integrated design helps reduce labor, improve material consistency, and streamline underground concrete placement.
A Complete Underground Mine Grouting System
The MineMate combines Blastcrete's 3" × 24" ultra high-pressure swing tube piston pump with a high shear continuous mixer, allowing operators to mix and pump cementitious materials from a single compact machine. This integrated system minimizes the need for separate equipment, reducing setup time while improving job site efficiency.
Its low-profile design enables operation in underground mines with ceiling clearances as low as 6 feet, making it suitable for confined workspaces.
Powerful Grouting Performance
The MineMate is engineered to provide dependable pumping performance for demanding underground applications. Key performance features include:
3" × 24" Ultra High Pressure Swing Tube Piston Pump
Maximum pumping pressure of 2,200 PSI
Output capacity of 0–12 cubic yards per hour
Heavy-duty 3-inch discharge system
Material pumping distances exceeding 500 feet
These capabilities allow grout and concrete to be delivered efficiently to remote underground locations while maintaining consistent flow and pressure.
Continuous Mixing for Reliable Material Quality
As an integrated mining grouting equipment solution, the MineMate features a high shear continuous mixer that blends materials immediately before pumping. This continuous process helps produce a uniform grout or concrete mixture, supporting improved application quality and reducing the potential for material inconsistencies.
A built-in screw conveyor with a material bin indicator continuously feeds material into the mixer, enabling uninterrupted production and reducing manual handling.
Applications
The MineMate is designed for a variety of underground mining and construction projects, including:
Underground cement grouting
Mine sealing
Underground shotcrete
Tunnel stabilization
Void filling
Ground support applications
Structural concrete repair
Mine closure projects
Remote mining operations without ready-mix concrete
Its versatility makes it an effective solution for contractors seeking dependable underground grouting equipment.
Flexible Power Options
The MineMate is available with two reliable power configurations to suit different operating environments:
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 diesel-powered operations.
Optional Features
To enhance productivity and simplify operation, the MineMate offers several optional accessories:
Hydraulic receiving hopper agitator
Pendant remote control
Wireless remote control
Hydraulic pressure washer
These features improve operator convenience while supporting efficient equipment maintenance.
