Explosives I Surface Bulk Emulsions

Our base emulsions are non-detonable, with the virgin oil emulsions having a honey coloured appearance and the Eco emulsions being grey or black in colour. Base emulsions (SB100, S200, SB300) are handled and transported as an unsensitised product to mines and/or operational sites.

The product is charged in blast holes when sensitised or blended with ANA and sensitised or with Anfo mixed to various ratios. The product’s water resistance is excellent, depending on the emulsion-to-Anfo ratio. The minimum initiator required to reliably detonate the sensitised emulsion is a 150 gram Pentolite Primer. The typical in-hole density of emulsions is 1.25g/cm³, but density varies with depth. Please contact your regional sales office for finding the best product suited to you application.

Note: The above table is only a guideline for matching Pentolite primers to blast hole diameter. Depending on the product type/dope, the critical or minimum hole diameter needs to be taken into account.

The recommendations in the table above are based on actual data generated during blast output evaluation of AEL Mining Services formulations when loaded correctly. In practice however, the loading of emulsions in blast holes contaminated by groundwater and other debris may cause sub-optimal initiation conditions. As such AEL Mining Services always recommends using the largest booster possible provided the loading process can be performed safely.

ApplicationConventional Narrow reef mining of any depth.

Description:In workings with no emulsion delivery infrastructure, the Bagged system is utilised in conjunction with portable charging units (PCU’s)

Unique deliverables:• Shrunken explosive footprint• Bulk storage of emulsion and accessories• No more explosive transport in shaft and underground• Non-explosive environment• Primerless blasting• Reduced product inventory • Cost-effective alternative to packaged explosive• Easier adherence to explosive legislation

Process:• The bagged emulsion and bottled sensitiser are sent into the workings as required and loaded into the tanks of the

portable charging units (PCU’s) at the face.• The emulsion is pumped through a hose/mixer/lance into the blast hole.

Bagged System Underground Bulk Emulsions


ApplicationConventional Narrow reef mining of any depth.

Description:In a conventional mine with surface silos and emulsion cassettes the bulk system is utilised in conjunction with PCU’s.

Unique deliverables:• Cheaper application than using Bagged emulsion• Shrunken explosive footprint• Bulk storage of emulsion and accessories• No more explosive transport underground• Non-explosive environment• Primerless blasting• Reduced product inventory • Cost-effective alternative to packaged explosive• Easier adherence to explosive legislation

Process:• The bulk emulsion is delivered by tanker to a surface silo.• Cassettes then take the emulsion from the silo on surface into the workings, or to temporary silos on the levels.• The emulsion can be removed from the cassette and placed either in a portable tank adjacent to the workings for later

pumping into portable containers or pumped directly from the cassette into portable containers.• Emulsion containers and bottled sensitiser are sent into the workings as required and loaded into the tanks of the PCU

at the face.

Bulk System Underground Bulk Emulsions



ApplicationConventional Narrow reef and Trackless mines to a depth of 400m.

Description:Trackless mines or mines with a combination of trackless and conventional narrow reef mining can make use of a delivery of bulk emulsion by means of “vertical drop” and thereafter used in conjunction with either mobile and/or portable charging units (MCU’s and/or PCU’s)

Unique deliverables:• Cheapest application of bulk emulsion technology• Shrunken explosive footprint• Bulk storage of emulsion and accessories• No more explosive transport underground• Non-explosive environment• Primerless blasting• Reduced product inventory • Cost-effective alternative to packaged explosive• Easier adherence to explosive legislation• Reduced machinery on roadways enhancing safety• Reduction in diesel and maintenance costs for charging units• Reduced surface infrastructure

Process: Emulsion is delivered in bulk:• Delivered to surface silo. The emulsion and sensitiser is then transported underground in MCU’s via a decline/portal

to the working faces.• To a “Vertical Drop” discharge point. The tanker discharges emulsion and sensitiser down vertical pipes from surface

into the underground silos.• The underground silos supply emulsion and sensitiser to MCU’s for charging the working faces. • Where the silo supplies emulsion for narrow reef charging with PCU’s, cassettes are filled at the underground silo

that transfer emulsion into either portable tanks/containers or pump emulsion directly from the cassette into portable containers at the workings.

• Similarly, the containers are then transported into the working faces and the emulsion is loaded into the tanks of the PCU.

• Similarly, the narrow reef mining makes use of emulsion in conjunction with emulsified sensitiser brought underground daily from surface.

Note: The above table is only a guideline for matching Pentolite primers to blast hole diameter. Depending on the product type/dope, the critical or minimum hole diameter needs to be taken into account.

The recommendations in the table above are based on actual data generated during blast output evaluation of AEL Mining Services formulations when loaded correctly. In practice however, the loading of bulk Anfex in blast holes contaminated by other debris may cause sub-optimal initiation conditions. As such AEL Mining Services always recommends using the largest booster possible provided the loading process can be performed safely.

Services

In applying meticulous care to the deployment of its range of products, AEL offers a range of services to ensure that customers receive optimum blast performance.

AEL assists customers to meet environmental, safety and legal requirements while at the same

time achieving blast efficiency.



Mining OptimisationAEL Mining Optimisation promotes consistently good blasts, as this is the basis for improved productivity, sustainability and added value for its customers around the world. The division’s highly skilled engineers assist mines to ensure that blasting is conducted efficiently and cost effectively. AEL Mining Optimisation delivers data, expertise, systems, software and support in a way that will help customers meet their production targets.

AEL is acutely aware that the sustainability of any mining operation is reliant on its social and environmental responsibility. The Mining Optimisation team therefore takes utmost care in designing blasting solutions that are not detrimental to people or the environment.The blast monitoring and blast enhancement offerings provide customers with information and alternate design approaches needed for productive operations and good neighbourly conduct in communities. The team constantly researches latest technologies and links these with continuous education around how best to design blasting solutions for optimal results.

AEL Mining Optimisation has adopted a three-pronged approach to satisfy customer needs:

Blast Optimisation specifically focuses on our customers’ requirements and the impact blasting would have on the environment. Safety, as always, is our primary objective! In order to optimise blasting, AEL has a number of tools and methodologies specifically designed to make scientific and informed decisions around blast performance assessment.• Data collection and benchmarking• Rock characterisation• Blast and timing design• Blast hole assessment• Vibration and airblast monitoring• Velocity of detonation measurement

Mining Productivity looks at the mining operation holistically to ensure that the benefits are derived from improved efficiency in equipment, plant and benefication. AEL will conduct various checks to ensure that blasted rock suits and compliments the design of equipment and plant:• Face velocity measurement• 3D blast face survey• High speed videography• Rock mass motion study• Muck profile study• Fragmentation analysis• Blast modeling• Efficiency measurement and monitoring

This is supported by AEL’s sophisticated blasting software:• Winprof_AEL• AEL Tie_Up• AEL Tunnel • AEL Ring • Hybrid Stress Blasting Model (HSBM)

AEL’s Active Loading system enables real time information pertaining to blasting parameters, ie: condition of blast hole, types of explosives loaded, quantity of explosives loaded, etc. This information is stored in a database for future analysis, comparison and fine tuning of blast inputs and results.

Expert Training for blasters and supervisors is offered by AEL’s Mining Optimisation team.• The Blasting Competency Program is offered for

surface as well as underground operations.• The Explosive Handler, Blast Assistant and Rock

Breaking courses are the basis for certification through the MQA to become a licensed blaster and meet statutory laws.

• The Explosive Engineer’s course is a graduate level course given to train technical blasting and field staff. It focuses on advanced blasting applications and productivity improvement and equip AEL staff with the relevant knowledge to provide customers with value adding recommendations.



Product ServicesAEL deploys established methodologies that present customers with a wide range of customised options and choices, all of which ultimately lead to successful blasts.

These include services such as down-the-hole: prime; load; tie and or shoot (PLTS) and rock-on-ground for underground surface applications.

Down the Hole Services

AEL provides down the hole services on the bench and on time, assisting in measuring holes products and managing quality checks during preparation of the blast. Application-specific explosives produced at the customer’s operation is extremely cost efficient, as it allows for total flexibility, as well as last minute changes on the bench to suit the different mine’s blasting requirements.

Prime, Load, Tie and/or Shoot (PLTS)

Taking things one step further, while offering the same services as those included in its Down the Hole offering, AEL has upped the ante with its Prime, Load, Tie and/or Shoot (PLTS) service, which addresses the requirements of customers that face resource and construction constraints and therefore require a solution to these problems without the need to hire more or upskill existing members of staff.Opting for either the Fixed or Per Blasted Unit service, customers have access to AEL expertise on site for the duration of individual blasts.

Deploying AEL’s PLTS service empowers customers with higher levels of convenience as AEL’s technical teams of expert crews (all accredited to adhere to legal compliance regulations) become an integral part of the production, planning and blasting operations. Using AEL’s full PLTS service means customers have access to hands on

involvement on AEL’s part as their teams will manage the stemming of blast holes, mark out and fire rounds and take on the legal accountability of the blasts, in addition to the services offered in its PLT offering.

Rock on Ground (underground and surface)

For customers who wish to hand over the reins of particularly taxing blasting environments, AEL offers its Rock on Ground service, which sees a shift in responsibility (in both drilling and secondary break scenarios) and costs to the AEL team. Customers can feel assured that they will receive a comprehensively planned and designed solution when they opt for the full blasting service.

In return for a cost per unit (using measurements of choice - cubes, metres, etc.) price, customers deploying AEL’s Rock on Ground solution are assured of:• Effective blast preparation;• Thorough charging and timing of operations;• Stock control and security of supply (including

ordering, control, storage and stock management);• Labour supply (only accredited and skill staffers) to

manage charging and timing of operations;• Zero tolerance where safety is concerned; and• Dedicated and experienced AEL staff who adapt their

skill sets to suit the environment while enhancing it with these services.

Proper functioning of blast and mine equipment is mission critical for successful operation on these sites and is significantly important to the safety of the mine staff and surrounding public. AEL Equipment Services

offers extensive equipment evaluations and the division’s strict testing criteria not only determines observance of applicable standards, but offers greater assurance in the reliability of the equipment provided.

The equipment supplied through AEL Equipment Services is designed to specification and can be customised to suit any blast environment. Once the machines are assembled at the AEL plant they are commissioned and calibrated by a team of professionals with a keen eye for detail. Only once each and every member of the team has signed off on the machines will they be registered to manufacture explosives and be delivered to the site.

As with all AEL divisions, safety and effectiveness is always top of mind within the AEL Equipment Services division. The team offers a range of Mobile Manufacturing Units (MMUs), underground mobile charging units(MCU’s), underground portable charging units (PCU’s) and a vast range of other plant equipment components.

With access to both local, internal and international level support and training, the team is renowned for its after sales service and support. Turnaround time on support or service related queries has been vastly shortened and the division is confident that it can offer its customers the peace of mind in knowing that their equipment will be reliably supported in the field.
