Nitronel/Ergonel
The non-electric initiation system is designed to initiate explosives, including ones charged pneumatically into a blast hole, in open-pit and underground non-coal mines.
Availability: In stock
The system enables any blasting pattern of practically any number of blast holes, which significantly improves the blasting economics. It is an extremely flexible solution which can be adapted to the individual needs of each mine and the properties of the excavated rock.
The system includes:
- NITRONEL – non-electric in hole and surface detonators
- ERGONEL – reinforced non-electric in hole detonators
