Dyno Nobel expanded its electronic detonator line with the DigiShot XR series, which is designed with extreme shock resistance.
The new series includes three detonators: DigiShot XR, DigiShot Plus XR, and DigiShot Plus XRS.
According to Dyno Nobel, the new 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.
In addition to shock and EMP resistance, the company says DigiShot Plus XR and DigiShot Plus XRS provide a 30 percent increase in programmable time delay for enhanced design flexibility. DigiShot Plus XRS features a hardened shell, offering additional dynamic shock resistance.
“Eliminating misfires and ensuring detonators can perform at a high level in any environment is an essential part of safety in mining,” says Braden Lusk, chief technology and marketing officer at Dyno Nobel. “Our unique shock-resistant detonators provide our customers with the safety and reliability they have come to expect from Dyno Nobel.”
The DigiShot XR series seamlessly integrates with CE4 control equipment, Dyno Nobel adds. The can be used with Trojan Shield boosters for additional shock protection.
