BlastWeb Underground Blasting System

This centralized blasting system is the most sophisticated system available, having the capability to: communicate on different platforms, initiate up to 24 Blast Control Units (BCU) and reduce production time by up to an hour a day. It also improves safety, allowing for blasts to be initiated above ground or in a distant safe location. For improved time management and safety the user friendly BlastWeb system is your solution.

Drastically Reducing Production Blast Times

Constant communication between BCU and detonators

Fires up to 24 BCUs in a single setting, saving up to an hour a day

Test and tags all detonators so blaster knows they are ready to be fired

Initiates up to 28,000 detonators

Improves Safety & Security

Ability to initiate from surface or safe location underground

Unique password required

Specific smart key required for blast initiation

CE4 Commander Blasting System

CE4® Commander Blasting System is a multi-purpose device that is used as a Bench Commander, Repeater and Base Commander, and controls the entire blast.

Limits user interface through: automatic detonator detection, testing and fast programming.   Wirelessly controlled by the CE4 Tagger or tablet.

Up to 10  Bench  Commanders ,   plus a Base and optional Repeater,  can be deployed for a single blast using long distance RF communication from a blasting point.

It has four channels that can connect up to 400 detonators, giving  a total capacity of 1600 detonators  per Commander.

By verifying the voltage, it can blast through high levels of leakage.

Boasts a unique and robust design, with a built-in long-range antenna, that can handle the harshest mining conditions.

The blast is initiated with contactless  BlastCards .

GeoShot Blasting System

Benefits:

Security: Providing an added level of security, an encrypted signal is required to fire detonators which can only be delivered by GeoShot equipment.

Electronic accuracy: GeoShot meets geophysical exploration industry standards of accuracy of < 1.0 ms deviation in function times.

Easy to use: Menu-driven software for the CE4 Tagger makes it simple to communicate with and test the detonators.

A fully programmable electronic detonator that is tailored to fit all types of blasting operations.

Verification of sufficient firing voltage at the furthest detonator, before the user presses the fire key.

The copper detonator shell fits into a standard booster.

Millisecond timing accuracy.
