Archer Mining and Civil Services is to start providing JACON Equipment’s shotcrete spraying, concrete transportation and mixing solutions to customers in Canada, the US and Mexico.

As the exclusive North American distributor for JACON Equipment, Archer Mining is to offer miners and tunnellers purpose-built, innovative equipment designed to streamline and optimize mining and tunnelling operations.

“We are so pleased to offer JACON Equipment from Australia,” Steve Archer, President of Archer Mining, says. “The line of equipment fills in the voids (pardon the pun) in what’s available to miners in North America at the moment. For instance, JACON has eight different shotcrete sprayers – there’s a right size for every job. They make their own pumps. Vehicles have cabs both front and rear. I could go on. This equipment is tremendous value.”

Archer Mining will also offer the training, parts and service that go hand-in-hand with this equipment:

• Shotcrete training & certification: In-depth programs for wet and dry shotcrete processes; EFNARC-certified staff;
• Dry and wet shotcrete admixtures as well as a full range of non-shrink grouts, backfill and void products for underground applications;
• Technical support and expertise backed by extensive knowledge of shotcrete mix designs and applications; and
• Wear parts and other parts, all available within short timelines.

The JACON Equipment line includes shotcrete equipment, concrete pumping & transport, utility vehicles, personnel vehicles, waterjet and explosives charging equipment. Flagship offerings include the Transmix 6000 Shotcrete Combo mixer/sprayer, set up for single operator and autofill, with dual cabin; and MaxiJet MX3 MKII, a shotcrete sprayer with triple-extension boom, 26 cu.m/h spray capability and 360° rotating/180° tilting nozzle movement.
