Looking for reliable compact underground concrete equipment for mining and construction projects? The Blastcrete MineMate is a low-profile concrete mixing and pumping system designed to handle underground mine seals, grouting, and shotcrete applications where ready-mix concrete is not a practical option.
Combining the X-10 ultra-high-pressure swing tube piston pump with a high-shear continuous mixer, the MineMate integrates material preparation and pumping into one machine. Its compact design, integrated screw conveyor, and flexible power options make it a specialized solution for demanding underground working environments.
The MineMate offers a stated output capacity of up to 12 cubic yards per hour, a pumping pressure of 2,200 PSI, and the ability to pump suitable materials over distances exceeding 500 feet. Designed to operate within a 6-foot ceiling, it is suitable for underground sites where equipment clearance and access are important considerations.

What Is the Blastcrete MineMate?
The Blastcrete MineMate is an integrated concrete mixing and pumping machine developed for underground mining and construction operations. It combines continuous mixing, mechanical material feeding, and high-pressure pumping in one low-profile system.
The machine is designed for applications such as underground mine sealing, grouting, and shotcrete placement when ready-mix concrete is unavailable or unsuitable.
A material screw conveyor with a bin indicator charges the high-shear continuous mixer, while the X-10 swing tube piston pump delivers compatible materials through the discharge line. This integrated arrangement helps simplify equipment setup and material handling at underground job sites.
For contractors seeking compact underground concrete equipment, the MineMate offers a combination of material feeding, mixing, and pumping capabilities within a single machine.
Key Features of the MineMate Compact Underground Concrete Equipment
1. Low-Profile Design for Confined Underground Spaces
Underground mines frequently have restricted ceiling heights, narrow access routes, and limited space for equipment installation. The MineMate is designed to operate within a 6-foot ceiling, supporting use in low-clearance environments.
Its compact configuration helps contractors plan concrete mixing and pumping operations where larger equipment may be difficult to accommodate.
2. Integrated High-Shear Continuous Mixer
The MineMate features a high-shear continuous mixer that prepares suitable materials as part of the integrated pumping process.
Continuous mixing supports on-site material preparation for underground mine seals, grouting, and shotcrete applications where ready-mix delivery is not a practical option.
3. Ultra-High-Pressure Swing Tube Piston Pump
The machine combines its mixer with a 3-inch × 24-inch ultra-high-pressure swing tube piston pump.
With a specified pumping pressure of 2,200 PSI, the pump is designed to deliver compatible concrete and grout materials through underground pumping lines.
4. Screw Conveyor for Material Feeding
The MineMate includes a material screw conveyor with a bin indicator to charge the continuous mixer.
This mechanical feeding system helps organize material handling and integrates material charging with mixing and pumping, reducing the need to arrange these functions as separate equipment systems.
5. Output Capacity of Up to 12 Cubic Yards per Hour
The MineMate has a stated output capacity of 0–12 cubic yards per hour, providing flexibility for different underground material placement requirements.
Actual output depends on the material formulation, pipeline configuration, pumping distance, and operating conditions.
6. Pumping Distance Exceeding 500 Feet
The MineMate can pump suitable materials over distances exceeding 500 feet. This capability supports underground projects where the placement area is separated from the equipment by long pipeline runs.
The achievable distance depends on material properties, pipeline diameter and layout, elevation changes, and site conditions.
7. Flexible Power Configurations
The MineMate is available with two power options:
