Product Description

BME’s MaxiCharger represents the forefront of pumpable emulsion technology available for use in narrow reef mining operations.

Primary Benefits

BME’s MaxiCharger is designed in-house, for the delivery in BME’s range of Innovex UG emulsion formulations, increasing the safety of daily blasting practices through their UN 5.1 classification.

The system eliminates waste while simultaneously delivering a predetermined mass of double salt emulsion and sensitising agent to each blasthole, sensitising the emulsion as it enters the blasthole. The MaxiCharger is manufactured for rough underground conditions but is compact enough to be carried and operated by mining personnel.

  • Ability to integrate with high-capacity emulsion tanks fixed to underground carriers.
  • Can be used with charging lances in excess of 40 m (131.2 ft).
  • High loading rate within confined charging operations.

Guidelines For Use

The MaxiCharger is a positive displacement pump that works with BME’s patented ‘Closed Emulsion System.’ However, it can be modified to run off a traditional emulsion tank set-up for larger development ends.

The MaxiCharger is used for the delivery in BME’s range of Innovex UG emulsion formulations.
