Underground mining and construction projects require specialized machinery that can perform reliably in confined, demanding environments. The MineMate is advanced underground construction equipment designed to simplify concrete mixing and pumping operations for mine sealing, grouting, and shotcrete applications. As dependable mining support equipment, the MineMate helps contractors improve productivity, reduce labor requirements, and achieve consistent material placement where traditional ready-mix solutions are not available.
Combining high-pressure pumping technology with continuous mixing capabilities, the MineMate provides a complete solution for challenging underground projects.
Advanced Underground Construction Equipment
The MineMate integrates Blastcrete's X-10 ultra high-pressure swing tube piston pump with a high shear continuous mixer, creating a compact and efficient system for mixing and pumping concrete materials underground.
This all-in-one design eliminates the need for separate mixing and pumping equipment, helping crews save time and improve workflow. Its low-profile structure allows operation in underground areas with ceiling clearances as low as 6 feet, making it ideal for restricted workspaces.
Powerful Pumping and Mixing Performance
Designed for demanding underground applications, the MineMate delivers dependable performance with:
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
Pumping capability exceeding 500 feet
These features allow operators to transport concrete and grout materials efficiently through tunnels, mine passages, and other challenging locations.
Mining Support Equipment Built for Efficiency
The MineMate functions as reliable mining support equipment by providing a complete solution for essential underground applications. Its integrated mixing and pumping technology supports:
Underground mine seals
Cement grouting
Underground shotcrete
Tunnel reinforcement
Ground stabilization
Void filling
Concrete repair
Remote underground construction projects
By combining multiple functions into one machine, the MineMate reduces equipment requirements and improves operational efficiency.
Continuous Mixing Technology
A key advantage of the MineMate is its high shear continuous mixer, which ensures materials are properly blended before pumping. This helps maintain consistent concrete and grout quality throughout the application process.
The integrated screw conveyor with material bin indicator automatically charges the continuous mixer, reducing manual handling and supporting continuous operation.
Designed for Underground Conditions
Underground job sites often present challenges such as limited space, difficult access, and the need for dependable equipment. The MineMate addresses these challenges with a compact design that provides powerful performance without requiring excessive workspace.
Its low-profile configuration and long-distance pumping capability make it suitable for mines, tunnels, and other underground construction environments.
Flexible Power Options
The MineMate is available with multiple power configurations to meet different project requirements:
50 HP Electric Motor with starter and disconnect
66 HP Kubota V3600 Water-Cooled Diesel Engine
These options provide flexibility for underground facilities with electrical power availability as well as remote locations requiring diesel operation.
Optional Features
The MineMate can be equipped with additional options to improve convenience and productivity:
Hydraulic receiving hopper agitator
Pendant remote control
Wireless remote control
Hydraulic pressure washer
These features help operators manage material handling, equipment control, and maintenance more efficiently.
