Modern underground construction and mining projects require reliable equipment that can efficiently mix and deliver concrete in difficult working conditions. The MineMate is an advanced high shear concrete mixer and remote controlled concrete pump system designed for underground mine seals, grouting, shotcrete applications, and concrete placement where traditional ready-mix solutions are not available.
By combining a powerful ultra high-pressure piston pump with a continuous mixing system, the MineMate provides a complete concrete processing solution for challenging job sites.
Advanced High Shear Concrete Mixer Technology
The MineMate features a high shear continuous mixer designed to provide consistent material blending before pumping. This integrated mixing system helps ensure reliable concrete performance during underground applications.
The high shear concrete mixer offers:
Consistent material mixing
Continuous concrete production
Reduced manual handling
Improved underground workflow
Efficient preparation of concrete and grout materials
The system works together with the X-10 ultra high-pressure swing tube piston pump to create a complete mixing and pumping platform.
Remote Controlled Concrete Pump for Efficient Operation
The MineMate can be equipped with pendant or wireless remote controls, allowing operators to manage pumping operations more conveniently.
Remote control capability provides:
Improved operator flexibility
Better control in restricted areas
Increased job site efficiency
Easier operation around underground structures
This feature makes the MineMate suitable for complex underground environments where access and visibility may be limited.
Designed for Underground Mining and Construction
The MineMate is engineered for demanding applications, including:
Underground mine seals
Mining grouting projects
Underground shotcrete installation
Tunnel construction
Ground stabilization
Concrete repair operations
Mining support applications
Its compact, low-profile design allows operation in areas with limited space, including locations with ceiling heights as low as 6 feet.
Powerful Pumping Performance
The MineMate uses an ultra high-pressure swing tube piston pump designed for dependable concrete and grout 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
This performance allows concrete materials to be transported through tunnels, shafts, and other challenging underground locations.
Integrated Mixing and Pumping System
The MineMate combines mixing and pumping functions into one compact machine, reducing the need for multiple pieces of equipment.
The system includes:
High shear continuous mixer
Ultra high-pressure piston pump
Material screw conveyor for mixer charging
Material bin indicator
Compact underground-ready design
This integrated approach helps improve productivity while reducing equipment requirements on the job site.
Flexible Power Options
The MineMate is available with multiple power configurations to suit different project requirements:
50 HP Electric Motor with Starter and Disconnect
Kubota V3600 66 HP Water-Cooled Diesel Engine
These options allow contractors to select the best power source for underground or remote applications.
Optional Features
The MineMate can be customized with additional features, including:
Hydraulic receiving hopper agitator
Pendant remote control
Wireless remote control
Hydraulic pressure washer
These options improve equipment versatility, operation, and maintenance.
