1. Emulsions
Our Emulsion Manufacturing Plant produces high-performance emulsions using pure diesel and used oil. We offer a variety of high-performance single- and dual-salt emulsions.
What makes our Emulsions better?
We use dual salt technology to create powerful emulsions that improve the efficiency, cost-effectiveness and performance of your blasting operations.
Dual salt emulsions, also known as ‘cold emulsion’, were first introduced by BME in South Africa in 1984. BME is renowned for its groundbreaking innovation in dual salt technology.
Benefits of Dual Salt Emulsions:
We use dual salt emulsion technology to avoid relying only on Ammonium Nitrate or Ammonia for producing our emulsions. This protects you from unpredictable price fluctuations and costly supply shortages.
We utilise Calcium Nitrate (CN) fertilizer in our emulsions for the following benefits:
- This product offers a compelling alternative, thanks to its plentiful availability.
- CN is a widely used chemical categorized as a fertilizer. Utilizing CN facilitates easy import and export, and reduces lead times in raw material procurement.
- Using CN has advantages like stabilizing ammonium nitrate solution and reducing the crystallization temperature of the oxidizer.
- Incorporating CN allows emulsion plants to operate at lower temperatures, reducing energy costs. Single Salt can operate at 75 °C and Dual Salt at 65 °C.
- CN enhances emulsion stability, extends shelf life, and provides energy output comparable to single salt formulations.

Addressing Common Blasting Pain Points
Blasting is the single most critical operation affecting the entire mining or quarrying cycle. The current pain points in blasting stem from several key elements, including safety, community relations, legislation and production requirements. In a one-on-one with Quarrying Africa, Hennie du Preez, Manager for AXXIS support at BME, discusses how electronic initiation systems can address these challenges and optimise the whole mining process.
BME Introduces Centralised Blasting System (CEBS) to the AXXIS Range
BME, a leader in the explosives and blasting solutions industry, has expanded its AXXIS electronic detonation product line with the launch of the AXXIS Centralised Electronic Blasting System (CEBS).
BME Australia Gears Up for Growth with Local Manufacturing
