Mining and infrastructure projects require durable, efficient equipment to support concrete placement, grouting, and maintenance operations. Choosing the right mining construction equipment can help contractors improve material handling, streamline workflows, and maintain productivity in demanding work environments.
The Blastcrete RD6536 Skid Steer Pump is a hydraulic concrete pump attachment designed to pump grout materials, 3/8-inch shotcrete, and structural concrete mixes containing up to 3/4-inch aggregate. With adjustable pumping speeds from 0 to 25 cubic yards per hour, this machine offers a practical solution for compatible mining infrastructure, concrete rehabilitation, and general construction applications.
What Is the Blastcrete RD6536 Skid Steer Pump?
The Blastcrete Model RD6536 Squeeze Pump is a hydraulic concrete pumping attachment developed for controlled delivery of concrete-based materials. Its variable-speed operation allows contractors to adjust the pumping rate according to project requirements.
Equipped with a 3-inch hydraulic squeeze pump and a universal skid steer mounting plate, the RD6536 is designed to work with compatible carrier equipment. Its ability to handle grout, suitable shotcrete mixes, and structural concrete makes it worth considering for selected mining construction and infrastructure support projects.
For mining operations, the pump may be useful for compatible concrete repair, grouting, and shotcrete applications. Contractors should assess underground access, ventilation, hydraulic compatibility, and material requirements before selecting equipment for a specific mining environment.
Key Features of the RD6536 Skid Steer Pump
The RD6536 combines flexible pumping capacity with a maintenance-friendly design.
Variable-Speed Pumping: Adjustable output from 0 to 25 cubic yards per hour.
3-Inch Hydraulic Squeeze Pump: Designed to pump compatible grout, shotcrete, and structural concrete mixes.
Universal Skid Steer Mounting Plate: Allows mounting on compatible skid steer loaders.
Manual Hydraulic Controls: Support operator control during pumping operations.
Hydraulic Remixer: A remixer in the receiving hopper helps maintain material consistency.
Forklift Pick-Up: Facilitates equipment handling and transportation.
Replaceable Rubber Pumping Tube: The primary wear component is a 3-inch rubber tube that can be replaced in the field in approximately 20 minutes under suitable service conditions.
Maintenance-Friendly Construction: Concrete material does not directly contact the pump's moving mechanical components, helping reduce material-related wear on those parts.
These features make the RD6536 an option for contractors looking for versatile concrete pumping equipment for suitable mining and construction applications.
Applications of the RD6536 in Mining Construction
Selecting appropriate mining construction equipment is essential for maintaining concrete infrastructure and supporting specialized construction activities. Depending on site conditions and engineering requirements, the RD6536 may support several applications.
1. Mining Infrastructure Concrete Repairs
Mining facilities may require repairs to concrete floors, structural elements, access areas, and other infrastructure. The RD6536 can deliver suitable concrete repair materials to designated work areas when the mix and pumping configuration are compatible.
2. Grouting Applications
Grouting is used in various mining and infrastructure operations, including compatible repair and construction tasks. The RD6536 is designed to pump grout materials, making it a potential option for applications that meet the equipment's operating requirements.
3. Shotcrete for Mining Projects
Shotcrete is used in mining and underground construction for various ground-support and surface-lining applications. The RD6536 is designed to pump suitable 3/8-inch shotcrete mixes, making it a potential option where the specified material and application method are compatible with the equipment.
Important: The pump's ability to deliver shotcrete does not establish that it is suitable for every underground ground-support system. Verify the mine's engineering specifications, carrier suitability, ventilation requirements, and applicable safety standards before use.
4. Concrete Maintenance and Rehabilitation
Mining infrastructure can require ongoing concrete maintenance and rehabilitation. The RD6536 may help contractors deliver compatible grout or concrete mixes during selected repair operations, depending on access and pumping requirements.
5. Surface Mining Infrastructure Projects
For surface mining operations, the pump may support suitable concrete placement, grouting, and infrastructure maintenance tasks. Its skid steer mounting system offers mobility when paired with compatible carrier equipment.
Benefits of Using the RD6536 for Mining Construction Equipment Needs
When evaluating mining construction equipment, contractors should consider pumping capacity, maintenance, material compatibility, and operating conditions.
Adjustable pumping capacity: Output ranging from 0 to 25 cubic yards per hour gives operators flexibility to match material delivery to project demands.
Straightforward maintenance: The primary wear part, a 3-inch rubber pumping tube, can be replaced in approximately 20 minutes in the field under suitable conditions.
Reduced wear on moving components: The squeeze-pump design keeps concrete material away from the pump's moving mechanical parts, helping limit material-related wear.
Flexible equipment mounting: The universal skid steer mounting plate supports use with compatible skid steer loaders.
Multiple material capabilities: The pump is designed for grout, 3/8-inch shotcrete, and suitable structural concrete mixes containing up to 3/4-inch aggregate.
Before deploying the RD6536 at a mining site, confirm hydraulic flow and pressure, carrier capacity, material compatibility, required pumping distances, and any additional restrictions for underground operation.

How to Select Concrete Pumping Equipment for Mining Projects
Choosing suitable concrete pumping equipment involves more than comparing maximum output. Contractors should evaluate the following factors before purchasing or deploying a pump:
Material requirements: Confirm that the grout, shotcrete, or concrete mix is compatible with the pump.
Hydraulic compatibility: Ensure the carrier can supply the required 18 GPM at 3,000 PSI.
Pumping distance: Compare the project's vertical and horizontal delivery requirements with the stated equipment capabilities.
Site accessibility: Check the machine's dimensions, transport arrangements, and compatibility with site access restrictions.
Maintenance planning: Consider access to replacement pumping tubes and the availability of trained service
