S / 02 · Blasting

From design to

Blast design, charge calculation, connection, timing and controlled firing. Vibration monitoring and explosives traceability from magazine to face.

  • Blast design
  • Charging & connection
  • Delay sequencing
  • Electronic initiation
  • Vibration monitoring
Mechanized charging

Pumped emulsion
in the blasthole.

CAM · Blasthole charging

The mobile manufacturing unit (MMU) carries the components separately and sensitizes the emulsion as it is pumped. The explosive is made in the blasthole, not before.

  • Charging of water-filled blastholes
  • Adjustable density per blasthole
  • Less manual handling
  • Faster charging speed

— Operational presence

We operate wherever the client needs.

Equipment, explosives and logistics dispatched from San José de Jáchal to the entire country. Active projects in Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay.
