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.
