Multiple Mix / Pump Units These units have the ability to manufacture ANFO and Heavy ANFO to auger or
pump a blended product into blast holes. Bins are again generally
permanently fixed to the chassis. These units consist of an Ammonium Nitrate storage bin, Emulsion storage
tank, fuel oil tank, water tank, hose reel and optional product
additions tanks. Product is discharged using either an overhead discharge auger or side
mounted auger, or pumped to a wet blast hole using a loading hose.
Emulsion is generally added to the ANFO in the discharge auger. A
helical rotor pump is used to transfer the product during wet hole
loading process. Hose reels can be manufactured to suit the various discharge rates and
hose diameters as required. These reels are usually driven using a
reduction gearbox or reduction chain system. Electronic controls are placed in the cabin of the unit. These controls
allow batch and total amounts to be displayed. Specialised controllers
can also provide ingredient percentages and individual ingredient rates
and allow different mixtures of various products to be produced. In-cabin controls allow the unit to be operated by a single person.
Controls can also allow for automatic retraction of the loading hose
from the blast hole. Total bin capacities range from 4 - 20 tonnes, however weight restrictions
of the cab chassis is the final limiting factor to the size of the unit.
The auger discharge rate is from 50kgs - 1000kgs per minute, while pumpable
rates range from 40kgs - 450kgs per minute. Our multiple mixing units can accurately blend many ingredients (in all
or part) to produce a variety of augered or pumped products related to
the explosives industry requirements.
