What Is the Blastcrete MineMate Concrete Pump?
The Blastcrete MineMate is an integrated concrete mixing and pumping system developed for underground mining and construction applications. It combines a high-pressure swing tube piston pump with a high-shear continuous mixer to prepare and deliver suitable materials directly at the job site.
The machine is designed for underground mine seals, grouting, and shotcrete applications when ready-mix concrete is unavailable or unsuitable. Its integrated screw conveyor, equipped with a bin indicator, feeds material into the continuous mixer and helps streamline the material-handling process.
With a low-profile design that operates within a 6-foot ceiling, the MineMate is suitable for confined underground environments where space, material delivery, and equipment accessibility are important considerations.
Key Features of the 12 Cubic Yards per Hour Concrete Pump
1. Output Capacity of Up to 12 Cubic Yards per Hour
The Blastcrete MineMate offers a stated output capacity of 0–12 cubic yards per hour, providing a pumping solution for underground projects that require controlled material mixing and delivery.
This capacity can support a range of mine sealing, grouting, and shotcrete applications. Actual production depends on the material mix, pumping conditions, and job-site requirements.
2. Ultra-High-Pressure Swing Tube Piston Pump
The MineMate features a 3-inch × 24-inch ultra-high-pressure swing tube piston pump with a specified pumping pressure of 2,200 PSI.
This pump supports the delivery of compatible concrete and grout materials through underground pumping lines, making it suitable for demanding material placement applications.
3. Integrated High-Shear Continuous Mixer
The high-shear continuous mixer combines material preparation with pumping in one machine. This integrated configuration helps simplify equipment setup and supports on-site mixing when ready-mix concrete is not a practical option.
For mining contractors, combining these functions can help organize the material preparation and delivery process at underground project sites.
4. Pumping Distance Exceeding 500 Feet
The MineMate can pump suitable materials over distances exceeding 500 feet, offering flexibility for projects where the placement area is far from the equipment.
Actual pumping distance depends on the material characteristics, pipeline diameter and layout, elevation changes, and operating conditions.
5. Low-Profile Design for Underground Applications
Underground mining environments frequently have restricted ceiling clearance and limited access. The MineMate is designed to operate within a 6-foot ceiling, helping contractors use mixing and pumping equipment in low-clearance working areas.
Its compact configuration supports underground construction applications where larger equipment may be difficult to accommodate.
6. Integrated Material Screw Conveyor
The MineMate includes a material screw conveyor with a bin indicator to charge the continuous mixer. This feature helps simplify material feeding and reduce manual handling requirements.
By integrating material charging, mixing, and pumping, the system supports a more streamlined workflow for underground concrete placement.
Applications of the MineMate Concrete Pump
Underground Mine Sealing
Mine sealing projects require suitable concrete materials to be delivered and placed according to project-specific engineering requirements. The MineMate is designed to mix and pump materials for underground mine seals, particularly when ready-mix concrete is unavailable or unsuitable.
Underground Grouting
Underground grouting may require materials to be delivered through pumping lines to remote or confined work areas. The MineMate combines continuous mixing with high-pressure pumping to support the preparation and delivery of compatible grout materials.
Underground Shotcrete
Shotcrete is widely used in underground construction and ground-support projects. The MineMate is designed for underground shotcrete applications that require on-site mixing and pumping. Confirm material compatibility and the intended placement method with the equipment supplier before use.
Concrete Placement in Confined Spaces
Restricted access and low ceilings can make conventional concrete equipment difficult to operate underground. The MineMate's low-profile design and integrated mixing system help address these challenges.
