BlastPED

Product catalog summary
Overview
The document describes the BlastPED system, a remote blast initiation technology used in both underground and open-cut surface mines. It highlights different versions of the system tailored for specific mining environments, emphasizing safety, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.

BlastPED Versions
  • Underground Mines: Utilizes the PED® Transmission System or a mine's leaky feeder radio system to communicate with receiver/exploders for initiating electric detonators.
  • Open Cut Surface Mines and Quarries: Known as the BlastPED ST or EXEL version, it uses surface radio systems to initiate signal tubes directly, differing from the electric detonator initiation in underground versions.

Safety and Reliability
  • Proven in over 100 installations since 1995.
  • Complies with international blasting device standards and has received global mining authority approvals.
  • Security features include sophisticated encoding, dual-message transmission requirements, and secure command storage.

Operational Procedures
  • Only authorized and trained personnel should operate the system.
  • Comprehensive understanding of system use is required for all involved personnel.
  • Procedures must ensure all personnel are in safe areas before blasting.

Cost Benefits
  • Reduces signal tube consumption and associated costs.
  • Increases productivity by reducing manpower and time costs for shot setup and clearance.
  • Eliminates extensive cabling, reducing misfires and increasing production time per shift.

BlastPED-1

MINE SITE TECHNOLOGIES Centralized Blast PED provides a safe, remote blast initiation system for mines by eliminating the high cost of installing and maintaining large firing cable networks, and hence reduce the safety concerns (e.g. induction) associated with these cable based systems. Don't have people in harm's way - use BlastPED UNDERGROUND MINES BlastPED PED® Version this system uses the PED® Transmission System to communicate with remotely installed receiver/exploders to initiate electric detonators (blasting caps). BlastPED Leaky Feeder Version use's a mine's leaky feeder radio system to communicate with remotely installed receiver/exploders to initiate electric detonators (blasting caps). OPEN CUT SURFACE MINES AND QUARRIES BlastPED ST Version also known as BlastPED EXEL version was developed for use in surface applications and uses more typical surface radio systems to communicate between a Master Control Unit and a Remote Receiver/Exploder. A key difference to the other two types of BlastPED is this version initiates signal tube (shock tube) directly, rather than initiating an electric detonator.
