Mining and underground construction projects require reliable equipment that can handle demanding conditions while delivering consistent concrete and grout placement. The MineMate is an advanced hydraulic concrete pump for mining applications designed to support underground mine seals, grouting, shotcrete, and concrete placement operations where traditional ready-mix solutions are not practical.
Combining powerful pumping technology with an integrated continuous mixing system, the MineMate provides an efficient all-in-one solution for mining contractors looking for dependable underground concrete handling equipment.
High-Performance Hydraulic Concrete Pump for Mining Applications
The MineMate is engineered as a labor-saving system that combines Blastcrete's X-10 ultra high-pressure swing tube piston pump with a high shear continuous mixer. This integrated design allows operators to mix and pump concrete materials directly at underground job sites.
The system helps improve mining operations by providing:
Efficient on-site material preparation
Reliable concrete and grout delivery
Reduced manual material handling
Improved productivity in challenging environments
Consistent pumping performance
Designed for Underground Mining and Concrete Placement
The MineMate is suitable for a wide range of mining and underground applications, including:
Underground mine seals
Mining grouting projects
Underground shotcrete installation
Tunnel construction
Ground stabilization
Concrete reinforcement
Underground repairs
Mining infrastructure support
Its compact structure and powerful pumping capabilities make it ideal for projects where access and space are limited.
Powerful Pumping Technology
The MineMate provides the pressure and performance required for demanding underground operations. The system features:
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
Pumping capability exceeding 500 feet
This high-pressure performance allows concrete, grout, and shotcrete materials to be delivered efficiently through long underground distances.
Continuous Mixing for Improved Material Quality
The integrated high shear continuous mixer ensures proper mixing before materials enter the pump system. This helps maintain consistent concrete quality and reliable placement during mining applications.
A built-in screw conveyor with material bin indicator supports efficient charging of the continuous mixer while reducing operator workload and improving workflow.
Compact Hydraulic Design for Underground Conditions
Mining environments often require equipment that can operate in confined areas. The MineMate features a low-profile design that allows operation in spaces with ceiling heights as low as 6 feet.
The compact design makes it suitable for:
Underground mines
Tunnels
Remote mining locations
Confined construction zones
Underground infrastructure projects
Despite its compact size, the MineMate delivers powerful pumping performance for demanding applications.
Flexible Power Configurations
The MineMate is available with power options designed to meet different project requirements:
50 HP Electric Motor with starter and disconnect
66 HP Kubota V3600 Water-Cooled Diesel Engine
These options allow contractors to select the ideal configuration for their specific mining environment.
Optional Equipment Features
The MineMate can be equipped with additional features to enhance operation and convenience:
Hydraulic receiving hopper agitator
Pendant remote control
Wireless remote control
Hydraulic pressure washer
These options provide greater flexibility, easier operation, and improved maintenance capabilities.
