Underground mining operations require equipment that can deliver strong performance while operating in restricted spaces. The MineMate is a specialized low profile concrete pump for underground mines, designed to provide efficient concrete mixing and pumping for mine seals, grouting, and underground shotcrete applications.
Built for challenging underground environments, the MineMate combines high-pressure pumping technology with continuous mixing capabilities. This integrated design helps contractors place concrete materials efficiently where traditional ready-mix solutions are not available.
Compact Low Profile Concrete Pump for Underground Mines
The MineMate is engineered specifically for underground applications where space limitations are a major challenge. Its low-profile design allows operation in areas with ceiling heights as low as 6 feet, making it ideal for tunnels, mines, and confined construction zones.
By combining a mixer and pump in one machine, the MineMate reduces equipment requirements and simplifies underground concrete placement operations.
Advanced Mixing and Pumping Technology
The MineMate combines Blastcrete's X-10 ultra high-pressure swing tube piston pump with a high shear continuous mixer to provide a complete underground concrete processing solution.
This integrated system allows operators to:
Mix concrete materials directly at the work site
Pump materials over long distances
Reduce manual material handling
Improve underground project efficiency
Maintain consistent concrete and grout quality
Powerful Pumping Performance
Despite its compact size, the MineMate delivers powerful pumping capabilities for demanding underground projects.
Key performance features include:
3" × 24" Ultra High Pressure Swing Tube Piston Pump
Pumping pressure up to 2,200 PSI
Output capacity of 0–12 cubic yards per hour
Heavy-duty 3-inch discharge system
Ability to pump materials exceeding 500 feet
These capabilities make the MineMate suitable for concrete placement in underground mines, tunnels, and other difficult-to-access areas.
Continuous Mixer for Reliable Material Quality
The MineMate features a high shear continuous mixer that ensures proper blending of concrete and grout materials before pumping. This helps provide consistent results during critical underground applications.
A built-in screw conveyor with material bin indicator charges the continuous mixer, supporting efficient operation and reducing the need for manual loading.
Applications of the MineMate
The MineMate is designed for various underground mining and construction applications, including:
Underground mine seals
Underground shotcrete
Concrete grouting
Tunnel reinforcement
Ground stabilization
Void filling
Mine closure projects
Underground repair work
Its compact design makes it especially effective in areas where larger concrete pumping equipment cannot operate.
Flexible Power Options
The MineMate is available with power options designed to meet different underground operating requirements:
50 HP Electric Motor with starter and disconnect
66 HP Kubota V3600 Water-Cooled Diesel Engine
These configurations provide flexibility for both permanent underground facilities and remote mining locations.
Optional Features
The MineMate can be customized with additional features to improve productivity and operator convenience:
Hydraulic receiving hopper agitator
Pendant remote control
Wireless remote control
Hydraulic pressure washer
These options help improve equipment operation, maintenance, and job site efficiency.
