Explosive Charging
AC2 & AC3 ANFO Chargers
The AC2 & AC3 models are safe, reliable and cost-effective solutions for quality explosives charging of bulk ANFO in underground trackless mines.
- Complete drift coverage from single set-up
- One or two person operation
- Rapid tramming between work locations
- Cost benefits in materials handling and in use of bulk explosives
- Clean burning, fuel-efficient engine minimizes harmful emissions
- Ease of maintenance with electronic engine diagnostics, accessible and serviceable fuel filling and grease points
- Superior traction due to four wheel drive and powershift transmission
- Common carrier with all Mine-Mate™ Series of utility vehicles
EC3 Emulsion Charger
A cost effective and highly productive solution for delivering high-explosive emulsion to blast holes.
The EC3 is specifically designed to the exacting standards necessary for the transport and pumping of bulk emulsion in the underground work environment.
The bulk pumping system can also be configured as a cassette package for easy removal when doing preventative maintenance or repairs.
- Wide coverage from single set-up
- Pre-programmed, variable charging densities and pump rates
- Improvement in primary blast efficiency controls fragmentation and maintains stope integrity; reduction in secondary breaking requirements
- Productivity improvements, especially in up-hole loading
- Material handling advantages
- Auxiliary pumping system enables in-stope resupply of emulsion product
- Reduced environmental impact from spillage and contamination
- Reduction in overall mining costs through drill pattern expansion, improved breakage, reduced manpower requirements and increased LHD productivity
- Long life power train using proven Caterpillar components
- Ease of maintenance with electronic engine diagnostics, accessible fuel filling and grease points
- Clean burning, fuel-efficient engine minimizes harmful emissions
- Superior traction due to four wheel drive and power shift transmission
