When a blast loses energy up the blast hole, the cost shows up downstream. Coarser fragmentation slows the crusher and drives up the cost per
A stemming solution is often overlooked in blasting, yet it has an outsized effect on the result. When stemming fails, and that energy escapes, the
A stemming plug is a small component with a compounding effect on a blast. Its job is to keep explosive energy confined in the hole
In efforts to optimise blasting performance and annual cost savings as part of continuous improvement, engineering trials were designed to trial the effectiveness of Varistem®
Mine A Operations | Blast Engineering & Regulatory Compliance Abstract — Blasting in sensitive environments demands a fundamentally different approachcompared to conventional open-pit operations. This
Blast performance depends on more than the explosive. The way the hole is designed and how energy is managed in the column can be the
The use of stemming plugs for the optimisation of blast performance is gaining popularity in the mining industry. This is mainly as a result of
Velocity of Detonation (VoD) is a technical term in the blasting and explosives domain. It refers to the speed at which the explosive shock wave
A POTENTIAL REASON FOR ADVERSE BLASTING OUTCOMES? INTRODUCTION A critical design parameter that needs to be selected during the drilling and blasting design process is
