Custom Mining Solutions

Simem Underground Solutions provides advanced equipment for the production of concrete, pastefill, shotcrete, and cemented rockfill product for mining operations worldwide. Our custom mining solutions are designed specifically for your project, timeline, and specifications to ensure a mining operation moves forward without interruption.

CRF Plants

CRF is critical to safe and compliant operation

Cemented rockfill (CRF) plays an important role in the mining process, providing critical backfill support for previously-excavated mine areas. In applications where density and moisture content of CRF are critical to safe and compliant operation, reliable mixing and production machinery can make the difference.

Pastefill Plants

Maximize Safety, Minimize Cost

Pastefill allows mining operations to proceed safely and efficiently as an alternative to hydraulic fill, providing higher strength backfill properties while minimizing the need for water handling.

ShotCrete Plants

Stability Meets Flexibility

Simem Underground Solutions considers all aspects of a project before designing, engineering, and manufacturing the right plant for the job. With a focus on quality, durability, modularity, and installation speed, our Shotcrete plants operate systematically and can be re-purposed with ease.

Shotcrete provides unmatched stability for decline pathways and ground support. Shotcrete helps to more efficiently and safely transport heavy mining machinery underground, while providing safety from any ground fall.

Pastefill

Pastefill allows mining operations to proceed safely and efficiently with higher strength backfill properties than hydraulic fill, while minimizing the need for water handling.

Cemented Rockfill

Cemented rockfill (CRF) plays an important role in the mining process, providing critical backfill support for previously-excavated mine areas. In applications where density and moisture content of CRF are critical to safe and compliant operation, reliable mixing and production machinery can make the difference.

Surface

Simple and Reliable Backfill Solutions

Based on off-the-shelf modular designs, SIMEM’s surface CRF plants have evolved from 50 years of batching and mixing experience. These plants are designed for compact transport, ease of installation, reliable operation and low total cost of ownership. But if standard designs aren’t what you are looking for, custom solutions, including colloidal mixer based systems are available. 





Underground

Backfill for Shaft Access Mines

For deeper orebodies, situating the CRF plant underground often makes sense. Creative solutions are  typically needed to deliver cement to the plant including pneumatic conveyance, isotainers, dry slicklines or even premixing cement/water in colloidal mixers. Expertise and experience matters. Our team has your solution.

Portable

When Mobility Matters

For small stopes or areas, the pastefill system just does not reach, semi-portable CRF plants put the backfill production right where it is needed. Choose from colloidal mixer slurry systems for use with run-of-mine waste, or MDC continuous mixers suited to crushed & screened aggregate. We custom tailor the solution to your specific requirements.    

   

Shotcrete for Mining

Ideal for reinforcing both temporary and permanent mining excavations, Shotcrete has proven an immensely useful and necessary tool in the mining industry. Our mixers and batching plants provide precise processing for both wet-mix and dry-mix shotcrete applications.

Bagged Shotcrete

Featuring enhanced shooting characteristics and reliable physical properties, bagged Shotcrete provides an efficient, dried, pre-blended solution for the mining industry. Our suite of mixers and batching plants allow for easy production and distribution for bagged Shotcrete applications.

Surface

When utilized above ground, Shotcrete can provide unmatched stability to cliffs, rock walls, vertical rock sections, and other affected areas where stability may be affected.

Underground

Utilizing Shotcrete below ground to backfill and stabilize previously excavated areas is critical to the safety of project teams and is required for proper stability in permanent or temporary excavated areas.
