Underground construction and mining projects often require concrete placement over long distances and in difficult-to-access areas. The MineMate is a high-performance solution designed for applications requiring a 500 ft concrete pumping distance, including underground mine seals, grouting, shotcrete, and concrete placement operations.
By combining a powerful ultra high-pressure piston pump with a continuous mixing system, the MineMate provides reliable material delivery for projects where ready-mix concrete is not practical.
Long-Distance 500 Ft Concrete Pumping Distance Performance
The MineMate is engineered to transport concrete materials through extended pumping routes while maintaining consistent performance. Its advanced pumping system allows operators to deliver materials over distances exceeding 500 feet, making it ideal for underground environments.
The machine is designed for applications such as:
Underground mine seals
Concrete grouting
Tunnel construction
Underground shotcrete placement
Ground stabilization
Mining support projects
Concrete repair applications
Its long-distance pumping capability helps contractors overcome challenges associated with remote and restricted-access work areas.
Integrated Concrete Mixing and Pumping System
The MineMate combines Blastcrete's X-10 ultra high-pressure swing tube piston pump with a high shear continuous mixer to create a complete concrete processing solution.
This integrated design allows operators to:
Mix materials directly at the job site
Pump concrete and grout efficiently
Reduce material handling requirements
Improve underground workflow
Maintain consistent material quality
The system can mix and pump up to 12 cubic yards per hour, supporting demanding construction and mining applications.
High-Pressure Pumping Technology
The MineMate features a powerful piston pump designed for reliable concrete delivery over long distances.
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
Pumping distance exceeding 500 feet
This high-pressure capability allows concrete, grout, and shotcrete materials to be placed effectively in underground tunnels, shafts, and confined areas.
Continuous Mixer for Consistent Material Preparation
The high shear continuous mixer provides efficient material blending before pumping. This helps ensure consistent concrete performance during underground applications.
The MineMate includes a screw conveyor with material bin indicator for charging the continuous mixer. This feature helps reduce manual handling and supports continuous operation.
Low-Profile Design for Underground Operations
Underground job sites often have limited space and restricted ceiling heights. The MineMate features a compact, low-profile design that allows operation in areas with ceilings as low as 6 feet.
This makes the system suitable for:
Underground mines
Tunneling operations
Confined construction zones
Remote job sites
Mining infrastructure projects
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 provide flexibility for both permanent facilities and mobile underground applications.
Optional Features
The MineMate can be customized with additional features to improve operation and convenience:
Hydraulic receiving hopper agitator
Pendant remote control
Wireless remote control
Hydraulic pressure washer
These options help improve equipment control, maintenance, and overall productivity.
