Underground mining and tunnel construction projects require powerful, reliable equipment capable of handling concrete placement in challenging environments. The MineMate is a specialized underground tunnel concrete pump designed to mix and pump concrete materials for mine sealing, backfilling, grouting, and shotcrete applications. As advanced Mine backfill pumping equipment, the MineMate provides a dependable solution for underground operations where ready-mix concrete is unavailable or impractical.
By combining high-pressure pumping technology with continuous mixing capabilities, the MineMate improves productivity, reduces manual labor, and delivers consistent material performance in demanding underground conditions.
High-Performance Underground Tunnel Concrete Pump
The MineMate is engineered to support underground tunnel and mining applications with a compact yet powerful design. It combines Blastcrete's X-10 ultra high-pressure swing tube piston pump with a high shear continuous mixer, creating a complete mixing and pumping system in one machine.
This integrated design allows operators to prepare and deliver concrete materials directly at the job site, reducing the need for multiple pieces of equipment and simplifying underground logistics.
Reliable Mine Backfill Pumping Equipment
Effective mine backfilling requires equipment that can transport materials efficiently over long distances while maintaining consistent flow. The MineMate is designed as reliable Mine backfill pumping equipment, offering the power and flexibility required for underground material placement.
Its pumping system provides:
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
Material pumping capability exceeding 500 feet
These capabilities allow contractors to efficiently deliver concrete, grout, and backfill materials to difficult-to-access underground locations.
Continuous Mixing Technology for Consistent Materials
The MineMate features a high shear continuous mixer that ensures concrete and grout materials are properly blended before pumping. This process helps maintain consistent material quality throughout underground applications.
A built-in screw conveyor with material bin indicator automatically feeds materials into the mixer, reducing manual handling and supporting continuous production during demanding projects.
Designed for Underground Tunnels and Mining Applications
The MineMate is built for environments where space is limited and equipment reliability is critical. Its low-profile design allows operation in areas with ceiling clearances as low as 6 feet, making it suitable for underground tunnels, mines, and confined construction areas.
Common applications include:
Underground tunnel concrete placement
Mine backfilling
Underground mine sealing
Cement grouting
Shotcrete applications
Tunnel reinforcement
Void filling
Ground stabilization
Flexible Power Options
The MineMate offers dependable power configurations to suit different underground operating conditions:
50 HP Electric Motor with starter and disconnect
66 HP Kubota V3600 Water-Cooled Diesel Engine
These options provide flexibility for permanent underground facilities and remote mining operations.
Optional Features
To enhance efficiency and operator convenience, the MineMate can be equipped with:
Hydraulic receiving hopper agitator
Pendant remote control
Wireless remote control
Hydraulic pressure washer
These features help simplify operation, improve material handling, and support easier equipment maintenance.
