What Is the Blastcrete MineMate Remote Controlled Concrete Pump?
The Blastcrete MineMate is an integrated concrete mixing and pumping machine developed for underground mining and construction applications. It combines a high-shear continuous mixer with an X-10 ultra-high-pressure swing tube piston pump, bringing material preparation and delivery together in one system.
The machine is designed for underground mine seals, grouting, and shotcrete applications where ready-mix concrete is unavailable or unsuitable.
For additional operating flexibility, the MineMate offers pendant or wireless remote control options. The availability of these options allows contractors to discuss control arrangements suited to their equipment setup and working environment.
The MineMate also features a material screw conveyor with a bin indicator to charge the continuous mixer. Its low-profile design allows operation within a 6-foot ceiling, making it suitable for confined underground work areas.
Key Features of the MineMate Remote Controlled Concrete Pump
1. Pendant or Wireless Remote Control Options
The MineMate offers pendant or wireless remote control as optional equipment. These control options provide flexibility when selecting an operating arrangement for underground concrete pumping applications.
Remote control can be useful when equipment operators need an appropriate operating position away from the machine. Contractors should confirm the available control functions, operating range, and safety requirements with the supplier before selecting a configuration.
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 is designed to deliver compatible concrete and grout materials through underground pumping lines for demanding material placement applications.
3. High-Shear Continuous Mixer
The integrated high-shear continuous mixer prepares suitable materials for pumping as part of the MineMate system.
Combining continuous mixing and pumping helps streamline material preparation at sites where ready-mix concrete is not a practical option.
4. Material Screw Conveyor With Bin Indicator
The MineMate includes a material screw conveyor with a bin indicator for charging the continuous mixer.
This integrated material-feeding arrangement helps organize material handling and brings feeding, mixing, and pumping together in one machine.
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, supporting 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 provides flexibility for underground projects where the placement area is far from the equipment.
Actual pumping distance depends on material properties, pipeline diameter and layout, elevation changes, and operating conditions.
7. Low-Profile Design for Underground Applications
Underground mines often have limited ceiling clearance and restricted equipment access. The MineMate is designed to operate within a 6-foot ceiling, supporting use in confined working environments.
Its integrated design can help contractors plan mixing and pumping operations where space is limited.
Applications of a Remote Controlled Concrete Pump
Underground Mine Sealing
Mine sealing projects require suitable concrete materials to be mixed and delivered according to project-specific engineering requirements. The MineMate is designed to mix and pump materials for underground mine seals, particularly when ready-mix delivery is unavailable or unsuitable.
Underground Grouting
Grouting operations may require material delivery through pipelines to confined or remote underground locations. The MineMate combines continuous mixing with high-pressure pumping to support the preparation and delivery of compatible grout materials.
Underground Shotcrete
Shotcrete is commonly used in underground construction and ground-support applications. The MineMate is designed for underground shotcrete projects requiring on-site mixing and pumping.
Contractors should confirm that the material mix, placement method, and selected equipment configuration are compatible with the intended application.
Concrete Placement in Confined Work Areas
Restricted headroom and limited access can make underground concrete placement challenging. The MineMate's low-profile design and optional remote control arrangements provide configuration flexibility for suitable underground work areas.
