Product Description

The MaxiCharger is one of a range of compact charging systems developed for use with BME’s Innovex UG emulsion formulations. 

Application

Primarily for use in the underground development environment. BME’s Mobile Pump Model 2 utilised on the MaxiCharger is a positive displacement pump designed to deliver emulsion and sensitising solution simultaneously through the charging lance where it is sensitised to form an explosive on entering the blasthole.

Features

  • Double mobile pump system.
  • Increased reliability and reduced downtime.
  • Low maintenance costs.
  • Low capital requirements.
  • High flow rate.
  • Short lead time for manufacture.
  • Intelligent Control and Reporting (ICR).

Design

  • Emulsion tank capacity : 3 000 kg (6 614 lb).
  • Sensitiser tank capacity : 40 L (10.6 gal).
  • Water tank capacity : 100 L (26.4 gal).
  • Pumping rate : 45 kg/min (99.2 lb/min).
  • Drive systems : Electric / Air / Hydro.
  • Max hose length : 15 m (49.2 ft) [¾” – 1”].
  • Compatible emulsions : Innovex UG Emulsions.
  • Pre-set mass of emulsion/hole.

Pump Safety

  • Intrinsically safe pump technology:
    • Safe in instances of dry-running.
    • Safe in instances of dead-heading.
  • Pressure bursting disk.
  • Fail-safe control system.
  • Charging lance flushing system.

Guidelines for Use

System Usage

Due to the low energy requirements necessary for the operation of BME’s mobile pump technology, the MaxiCharger can be powered through a range of energy sources while maintaining a rate of delivery equal to that of mechanised emulsion technology. This places the MaxiCharger in a class of its own and allows the unit to function with an independent hydraulic power pack driven by an electric motor, air or hydro-power.

In order to eliminate down time and the possibility of lost blasts BME’s MaxiCharger has been designed to facilitate the operation of two Mobile Pumps on a single charging unit. These are in turn controlled through BME’s new Intelligent Control and Recording system (ICR) that allows a predetermined mass of emulsion to be loaded per blasthole.

Safe Use

  • Never fight explosive fires.
  • Refer to Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for first aid information.
  • All explosives must be transported and stored in accordance to relevant regulations.
  • All explosives are classified as dangerous goods and may cause damage to property, personal harm, or death, if not used correctly.
  • Always keep products away from sources of heat, sparks, flame or hot surfaces and avoid mixing with combustibles or incompatible materials.
