Backfill Paste Plant
At CMQ Engineering, we have gained extensive experience and knowledge in the design and manufacturing of Backfill Paste Plants for a wide range of clients both in Australia and internationally. Our Backfill Paste Plant designs have now become a standard piece of equipment across mining sites all over the world.
What is the Purpose of a Paste Backfill Plant?
While a Paste Backfill Plant can be used in a wide range of industries, our Backfill Paste Plant designs are often utilised to help construct ground supports in underground mine operations. The mine tailing is a waste product which is mixed with additives such as cement, lime, or fly ash to develop cohesion within the paste so that existing mines can support future work and construction safely. They are a key component of underground mining operations and are becoming standard practice in many cut-and-fill mines around the world. Backfill material supplied from the plants are placed into previously mined slopes to provide a stable platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Paste Backfill Plant?
A backfill paste plant is industrial mining machinery used to produce a mixture called paste backfill. Paste backfill is a thick, semi-solid mixture that is made by mixing mine tailing with additives like cement, fly ash, and lime to create a cohesive mix. This cohesive mix is then pumped back into voids left by mining in order to provide structural support and reduce the risk of any collapses.
CMQ Engineering provides versatile solutions through the design and manufacturing of both mobile and static backfill plants. Contact us today for more information about our custom mining engineering solutions.
What is Paste Backfill in Mining?
Paste backfill is a semi-solid mixture that is made by combining the waste generated from mining with water and binding materials like concrete. Paste backfill is pumped into voids or stopes in underground mines where raw materials have been extracted from. The paste flows easily through voids in its semi-solid state, hardening once it sits in place.
Paste backfill serves several purposes in mining. Its primary function is to facilitate the stability of previously mined areas and allow for the safe continuation of mineral extraction by reducing the risk of collapses. Using backfill paste also provides an environmentally friendly way of managing mine tailings, facilitating an alternative to above ground storage of waste products.
