Mobile Concrete Mixers

The use of mobile, concrete mixers for sprayed concrete in underground mines requires reliable equipment to ensure the final product is of high quality and is applied in an efficient manner. The Mine-Mate™ TM2 & TM3 Transmixers are an integral part of the wet shotcrete process, providing high capacity, high speed transport of shotcrete/concrete in a fit-for-purpose package, while the AG3 is the choice for turning dry-mix into wet or for adding additional mix components such as fibers, another example of MacLean designing and manufacturing hard rock mining equipment built for life underground.
