Admixtures to Optimize Paste Backfill Operations
Sika offers a range of mine paste backfill admixtures that can be dosed directly into the wetted out mix of the paste plant. The admixtures act as a high range water reducer and therefore provide the opportunity to significantly reduce the cement consumption of the paste operation. Sika is in position to provide extensive on site support and to support you with the right paste backfill design.
Sika applies similar principles that we use in concrete also for mine paste backfill plants worldwide using our chemical toolbox that has been refined over the past decades. We can help you to achieve the following with your backfill paste:
- Reduce binder consumption
- Improve compressive strength
- Reduce bleeding
- Facilitate paste pumping
- Reduce wear and tear of machinery and paste lines
- Speed up mine and fill cycle time
