Long-distance concrete placement in underground construction and mining projects requires equipment that delivers consistent pressure, reliable flow, and efficient operation. The MineMate is a powerful concrete pump capable of pumping over 500 feet, designed to handle demanding applications such as underground mine seals, grouting, shotcrete, and concrete placement.
With its advanced pumping technology and integrated continuous mixing system, the MineMate provides contractors with an efficient solution for projects where ready-mix concrete is unavailable or difficult to transport.
High-Performance Concrete Pumping Over 500 Feet
The MineMate is engineered to deliver concrete and grout materials over extended distances while maintaining reliable performance. Its ultra high-pressure pumping system allows operators to place materials in challenging underground environments.
The machine combines Blastcrete's X-10 ultra high-pressure swing tube piston pump with a high shear continuous mixer, creating a complete mixing and pumping solution in one compact unit.
Advanced Technology for Underground Concrete Applications
The MineMate is designed to support a wide range of underground construction and mining applications, including:
Underground mine seals
Concrete grouting
Underground shotcrete placement
Tunnel construction
Ground stabilization
Mining support projects
Concrete repair
Void filling
Its ability to mix and pump materials on-site helps reduce transportation challenges and improves efficiency in remote locations.
Powerful Pumping System
The MineMate provides the performance required for long-distance material delivery. Key pumping 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
Pumping capability exceeding 500 feet
These capabilities make the MineMate suitable for underground projects where concrete materials must travel through tunnels, shafts, and restricted-access areas.
Continuous Mixer for Consistent Material Performance
The integrated high shear continuous mixer ensures proper blending of concrete and grout materials before pumping. This helps maintain consistent material quality throughout underground operations.
A built-in screw conveyor with material bin indicator charges the continuous mixer, reducing manual handling and supporting efficient continuous production.
Compact Design for Underground Environments
The MineMate features a low-profile design that allows operation in areas with ceiling heights as low as 6 feet. This makes it ideal for locations where traditional concrete equipment may not fit.
Suitable environments include:
Underground mines
Tunneling projects
Confined construction areas
Remote job sites
Mining support operations
The compact structure provides easier positioning while maintaining strong pumping performance.
Flexible Power Options
The MineMate is available with power configurations designed for different project conditions:
50 HP Electric Motor with starter and disconnect
66 HP Kubota V3600 Water-Cooled Diesel Engine
These options allow contractors to select the appropriate power source for their underground operation.
Optional Features
The MineMate can be equipped with additional options to improve productivity and convenience:
Hydraulic receiving hopper agitator
Pendant remote control
Wireless remote control
Hydraulic pressure washer
These features help improve equipment operation, maintenance, and job site efficiency.
