What Is the Blastcrete MineMate?
The Blastcrete MineMate is a specialized concrete mixing and pumping machine developed for demanding underground mining applications. It integrates the X-10 ultra-high-pressure swing tube piston pump with a high-shear continuous mixer, providing an efficient solution for mixing and pumping concrete materials directly at the job site.
Designed for low-clearance environments, this machine is ideal for underground mine seals, grouting projects, and underground shotcrete applications. Its integrated material screw conveyor simplifies the process of charging the continuous mixer, helping reduce manual material handling and improve workflow.
With a pumping output of up to 12 cubic yards per hour and the ability to pump material over distances exceeding 500 feet, the MineMate offers a practical solution for challenging underground construction and mine maintenance projects.
Key Features of the MineMate Low Profile Concrete Pump
1. Compact, Low-Profile Design
The MineMate is designed to operate in underground environments with limited overhead clearance. Its screw conveyor and compact configuration allow operation within a 6-foot ceiling, making it suitable for confined mining areas where conventional concrete pumping equipment may be impractical.
2. Ultra-High-Pressure Swing Tube Piston Pump
Equipped with a 3-inch × 24-inch ultra-high-pressure swing tube piston pump, the MineMate is built for demanding concrete pumping applications. With a maximum pumping pressure of 2,200 PSI, it supports the delivery of suitable concrete and grout materials through underground pumping lines.
3. High-Shear Continuous Mixer
The integrated high-shear continuous mixer combines mixing and pumping capabilities in one machine. This configuration supports efficient material preparation for underground mine seals, grouting, and shotcrete applications when ready-mix concrete is not an option.
4. Material Screw Conveyor with Bin Indicator
The built-in screw conveyor charges material into the continuous mixer, helping streamline material handling. A bin indicator assists operators in monitoring material levels during the charging process.
5. Pumping Distance of More Than 500 Feet
The MineMate can pump suitable materials over distances exceeding 500 feet, providing flexibility when concrete or grout must be delivered to hard-to-reach underground work areas. Actual pumping distance depends on material characteristics, hose configuration, elevation, and operating conditions.
6. Flexible Power Options
The MineMate is available with two power configurations to suit different operational requirements:
50 HP electric motor: Supplied with a starter and disconnect.
Kubota V3600 diesel engine: A 66 HP, water-cooled diesel power option.
These configurations give mining operators flexibility when selecting equipment for their site
