Stemming plugs are a cost-effective way to ensure that blast energy focuses into rock, and not into the atmosphere. Placed at the top of the

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

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

When your blast outcomes are inconsistent, the problem is often not the explosive. It may be based on blast design, and whether the energy is

Your choice of stemming plug is specific to your operation’s needs. On some blasts, your biggest win comes from tightening collar confinement and cutting flyrock

Blasts that lose containment energy drive up costs. The stemming plug you choose directly impacts how productive each blast becomes. We compare Varistem and Max-Blast

Your choice of stemming plug is a significant decision for mining and blasting consumables. You might be fighting flyrock on sensitive benches, or trying to

Blasts that lose energy retention result in additional costs, uneven breakage, noise, and increased drilling and explosives. The choice in your stemming device dramatically impacts
