CASE STUDY

VALUE ADDED
FROM THE BREAKAGE IN THE BLASTS TO THE
LOWER VIBRATION READINGS, DIGISHOT HAS
MADE A DIFFERENCE
With the drill pattern expanded by 13%, rock breakage
is more consistent with almost no secondary breakage
or drop ball material. Blasted material was easier for the
loader operators to dig with improved bucket fills. Blast
sizes have increased from less than 20 holes to around 30
holes while vibration levels were reduced from 0.6 to 0.7
ips down to 0.3 to 0.35 ips.

With the more consistent breakage, the quarries are able
to set their crushers when they start running the blasts and
leave them at that setting as the entire blast is mucked.
Before DigiShot was used, they would have to adjust the
crusher speeds to the area of the blast as it was mucked
losing valuable crushing time and non-optimal results.

The superintendant mentioned he can’t put a actual dollar
amount on the saving, but some of the areas where he had
seen improvements are: more loads going to the crusher
per shift, less wear on the loaders (easier digging), crushers
operating more efficient with less stops for oversize plugs
and bridging, fewer blast events due to larger blast size per
event, and lower vibrations creating less complaining from
people around the quarries. Implementing a new initiation
system technology at this quarry customer provided to
financially beneficial.

Re-Closure of Specification Boxes for Packaged Explosives and Detonators:
Packaged Emulsion

To Close Telescoping Boxes:
Place the box top onto and over the box bottom. The tape required to seal the box top to the bottom is 48
mm 3M 355 tape. Complete assembly by applying one strip of 48 mm pressure sensitive plastic tape
installed across the bottom panel and up each long side panel not less than 2 inches. Tape is centered 20
mm from both short side panels.

If units have been removed from the box, it is required that dunnage be used to fill the void created in the
box from the units removed to prevent freedom of movement of the remaining units in the box before the
box is closed and sealed. Appropriate dunnage would be paper, corrugated fiberboard, or anti-static bubble
wrap.

Any inner packaging inside the box from the factory must remain in the box to maintain the hazard class
and packaging requirements of the material.
