What Is the Blastcrete MineMate?
The Blastcrete MineMate is specialized high-pressure pumping equipment developed for underground mine seals and other challenging mining applications. It combines mixing and pumping functions in one machine, helping mining contractors prepare and deliver concrete materials directly at the job site.
The system integrates a 3-inch × 24-inch ultra-high-pressure swing tube piston pump with a high-shear continuous mixer. A built-in material screw conveyor with a bin indicator helps charge the mixer, reducing manual material handling and supporting a more streamlined workflow.
Designed for low-clearance underground environments, the MineMate can operate within a 6-foot ceiling. Its compact design makes it suitable for mine sealing, underground grouting, and shotcrete applications where space, material delivery, and equipment accessibility are important considerations.
Key Features of High Pressure Pumping Equipment for Mine Seals
1. Ultra-High-Pressure Swing Tube Piston Pump
The MineMate features a 3-inch × 24-inch ultra-high-pressure swing tube piston pump engineered for demanding underground concrete pumping tasks. With a specified pumping pressure of 2,200 PSI, the system supports the delivery of suitable concrete and grout materials through underground pumping lines.
This pumping technology makes the MineMate a practical option for projects that require controlled material placement in difficult-to-access mining areas.
2. High-Shear Continuous Mixer
Consistent material preparation is important for underground mine sealing and grouting. The MineMate incorporates a high-shear continuous mixer that works with the piston pump to combine mixing and pumping operations in one integrated system.
This arrangement is particularly useful when ready-mix concrete is unavailable or unsuitable for the underground worksite.
3. Low-Profile Design for Underground Operations
Underground mines often have restricted headroom, limiting the equipment that can be used safely and efficiently. The MineMate is designed to operate within a 6-foot ceiling, helping contractors work in low-clearance areas where larger concrete pumping systems may be difficult to accommodate.
Its compact dimensions also support equipment placement in confined underground work zones.
4. Integrated Material Screw Conveyor
The MineMate uses a material screw conveyor with a bin indicator to charge the continuous mixer. This feature helps simplify material feeding and reduces reliance on manual handling during the mixing process.
By integrating material charging, mixing, and pumping, the machine supports a more efficient workflow for underground mine sealing projects.
5. Pumping Distances Exceeding 500 Feet
Delivering concrete and grout materials to underground work areas can be challenging when access is restricted or the placement point is far from the equipment. The MineMate can pump suitable materials over distances exceeding 500 feet, depending on the mix design, pumping line, elevation, and operating conditions.
This capability provides flexibility for underground mine seals, grouting work, and other concrete placement applications.
6. Flexible Electric and Diesel Power Options
The Blastcrete MineMate is available with two power configurations to accommodate different site requirements:
Electric power: 50 HP electric motor supplied with a starter and disconnect.
Diesel power: 66 HP Kubota V3600 water-cooled diesel engine.
These options allow operators to select a configuration suited to their available power supply and underground operating conditions.
Applications of MineMate High-Pressure Pumping Equipment
Underground Mine Sealing
Mine sealing projects require appropriate materials and reliable placement methods to meet project-specific engineering requirements. The MineMate is designed to mix and pump suitable concrete materials for underground mine seals, providing an integrated solution for operations where ready-mix concrete is not available.
Underground Grouting
Grouting is used in various underground mining and construction applications. With its continuous mixer and high-pressure piston pump, the MineMate supports the preparation and delivery of suitable grout materials to confined or difficult-to-reach locations.
Underground Shotcrete Applications
Shotcrete is widely used in underground construction and ground-support projects. The MineMate is designed for underground shotcrete applications where on-site mixing and pumping are required. Material compatibility and the specific placement method should be confirmed for each application.
Concrete Placement in Confined Spaces
The MineMate's low-profile design is intended for underground environments with restricted ceiling clearance. Its integrated configuration helps contractors handle concrete-related work in areas where conventional equipment may be impractical.
