Underground mining projects require dependable equipment capable of handling demanding concrete placement conditions. The MineMate is a specialized high pressure pumping equipment for mine seals solution designed to provide efficient mixing and pumping for underground sealing, grouting, and shotcrete applications.
When ready-mix concrete is not available underground, the MineMate provides an effective way to mix and pump concrete materials directly at the job site. Its compact design, powerful pump system, and continuous mixing technology make it suitable for challenging mining environments.
Advanced High Pressure Pumping Equipment for Mine Seals
The MineMate is engineered to support underground mine sealing operations with reliable high-pressure material delivery. It combines Blastcrete's X-10 ultra high-pressure swing tube piston pump with a high shear continuous mixer, creating a complete concrete mixing and pumping system.
This integrated design helps mining contractors:
Reduce equipment requirements
Improve underground material handling
Increase productivity
Maintain consistent concrete quality
Complete mine sealing projects more efficiently
Efficient Solution for Underground Mine Sealing
Mine seals require accurate material placement and dependable pumping performance. The MineMate is designed to handle materials used for:
Underground mine seals
Grouting applications
Shotcrete installation
Tunnel reinforcement
Ground stabilization
Mine closure projects
Concrete repair operations
Its high-pressure pumping capability allows materials to be transported through underground areas where access and space are limited.
Powerful Pumping Performance
The MineMate provides the pressure and output required for demanding underground applications. Its advanced pumping system includes:
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
Pumping capability exceeding 500 feet
These features allow operators to deliver concrete, grout, and shotcrete materials over extended distances while maintaining reliable flow.
Integrated Continuous Mixer Technology
The MineMate includes a high shear continuous mixer designed to provide consistent material preparation before pumping. This helps ensure uniform mixing and reliable performance during underground sealing applications.
A built-in screw conveyor with material bin indicator charges the continuous mixer, reducing manual handling and supporting continuous operation.
Compact Design for Underground Operations
Underground mining areas often have limited working space. The MineMate features a low-profile design that allows operation in areas with ceiling heights as low as 6 feet.
This compact structure makes it suitable for:
Underground mines
Tunnels
Confined construction zones
Remote mining locations
Restricted-access projects
Despite its compact size, the MineMate delivers powerful pumping performance for demanding concrete placement requirements.
Flexible Power Options
The MineMate is available with multiple power configurations to support different underground environments:
50 HP Electric Motor with starter and disconnect
66 HP Kubota V3600 Water-Cooled Diesel Engine
These options provide flexibility for both fixed underground facilities and remote job sites.
Optional Equipment Features
Additional options are available to improve operation and efficiency:
Hydraulic receiving hopper agitator
Pendant remote control
Wireless remote control
Hydraulic pressure washer
These features allow contractors to customize the machine according to project needs.
