Underground mining and construction projects demand equipment that can deliver reliable concrete mixing and pumping performance in challenging environments. The MineMate is a powerful Kubota diesel concrete pump combined with an integrated screw conveyor concrete mixer, designed for underground mine seals, grouting, shotcrete, and concrete placement applications.
This advanced system provides contractors with a complete solution for producing and pumping concrete materials where ready-mix concrete is not a practical option.
Powerful Kubota Diesel Concrete Pump Technology
The MineMate is available with a Kubota V3600 66 HP water-cooled diesel engine, providing dependable power for remote and underground applications where electrical power may not be available.
The diesel-powered configuration offers:
Reliable operation in remote locations
Strong performance for demanding job sites
Flexible deployment in underground projects
Reduced dependency on external power sources
The system combines the diesel power unit with Blastcrete's X-10 ultra high-pressure swing tube piston pump and high shear continuous mixer for efficient material handling.
Integrated Screw Conveyor Concrete Mixer System
The MineMate features a screw conveyor concrete mixer system designed to simplify material charging and improve workflow. The screw conveyor helps deliver materials into the continuous mixer while reducing manual handling requirements.
Key mixer advantages include:
Continuous concrete material preparation
Improved mixing consistency
Reduced operator workload
Efficient underground material processing
Better control of concrete production
The high shear continuous mixer ensures properly blended materials before pumping.
Designed for Underground Mining Applications
The MineMate is built to handle demanding underground construction requirements, including:
Underground mine seals
Mining grouting operations
Underground shotcrete placement
Tunnel construction
Ground stabilization
Concrete repair
Mining support applications
Its compact design allows operation in areas where space and accessibility are limited.
High-Performance Pumping Capability
The MineMate provides powerful concrete and grout delivery through its ultra high-pressure piston pump system.
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 capability exceeding 500 feet
This capability allows contractors to move concrete and grout materials through tunnels, shafts, and other restricted underground areas.
Low-Profile Design for Confined Spaces
Underground construction sites often require equipment that can operate in limited spaces. The MineMate features a low-profile design capable of operating within areas with ceiling heights as low as 6 feet.
The compact configuration makes it suitable for:
Underground mines
Tunneling operations
Remote construction locations
Confined work areas
Mining infrastructure projects
Power Options
The MineMate is available with flexible power configurations:
50 HP Electric Motor with starter and disconnect
Kubota V3600 66 HP Water-Cooled Diesel Engine
These options allow contractors to select the best setup based on job site conditions.
Optional Features
The MineMate can be equipped with additional options to improve productivity and operator convenience:
Hydraulic receiving hopper agitator
Pendant remote control
Wireless remote control
Hydraulic pressure washer
These features help enhance equipment operation and maintenance efficiency.
