Electronic detonator enhances safety, efficiency
Axxis Silver is BME’s latest electronic detonator technology for quarries and small mining operations, featuring programmable delay intervals for optimal fragmentation, as well as remote monitoring and initiation capabilities. Among Axxis Silver’s benefits are ease of use for the operator, reduced downtime at the firing stage and decreased ground vibrations and flyrock, minimizing impact on surrounding structures. According to BME, the technology delivers improved blast fragmentation to improve downstream processing efficiency. Axxis Silver also enhances safety through remote detonation and real-time monitoring, the company says.
Shock-resistant electronic detonators enhance safety
Dyno Nobel’s DigiShot XR series, which is designed with extreme shock resistance, includes three detonators: DigiShot XR, DigiShot Plus XR and DigiShot Plus XRS. According to Dyno Nobel, the detonators improve on the industry’s current offerings with tailored technologies built to perform in extreme conditions. In high-dynamic shock environments where detonator failure is possible, Dyno Nobel says DigiShot XR, DigiShot Plus XR and DigiShot Plus XRS offer shock and EMP resistance through designed stress relief, precise component placement and material selection.
