We have developed two types of charging equipment to be able to charge Kimulux in a horizontal way in horizontal and downward-pointing holes. Kimulux R 0500 is a factory-sensitized explosive, while all Kimulux SS products require gassing fluid to be sensitized. As a safety precaution, the emulsion and gassing liquid are first mixed during the pumping process and thus do not form a complete explosive until on the way into the borehole. Another safety feature, to reduce the likelihood of an explosion, is the truck's emulsion tank made of aluminum. In the event of a fire, aluminum softens and melts, which means that high pressure cannot occur. In this way, we have removed one of the two conditions needed for a dangerous situation, ie the pressure. The second condition is high temperature, which is difficult to remove from a fire. A pallet truck loads about 15 tonnes of emulsion and additives.
