Global commercial explosives company Dyno Nobel continues to expand its electronic detonator line as it focuses on eliminating misfires and increasing safety in the mining sector.
Dyno Nobel’s new DigiShot XR series has been designed with extreme shock resistance. The series includes three detonators – DigiShot XR, DigiShot Plus XR, and DigiShot Plus XRS.
The series integrates with CE4 control equipment and can be used with Trojan Shield boosters for additional shock protection.
Chief Technology and Marketing Officer Braden Lusk says the new detonators improve upon the industry’s current offerings with tailored technologies built to perform in extreme conditions.
In high-dynamic shock environments where detonator failure is possible, DigiShot XR, DigiShot Plus XR, and DigiShot Plus XRS offer shock and EMP resistance through designed stress relief, precise component placement, and material selection, he notes.
DigiShot Plus XR and DigiShot Plus XRS also provide a 30% increase in programmable time delay for enhanced design flexibility. DigiShot Plus XRS features a hardened shell, offering additional dynamic shock resistance.
“Eliminating misfires and ensuring detonators can perform at a high-level in any environment is an essential part of safety in mining,” says Lusk.
“Our unique shock-resistant detonators provide our customers with the safety and reliability they have come to expect from Dyno Nobel.”
Dyno Nobel is a subsidiary of ASX 100 company Incitec Pivot (ASX:IPL) and operates across the Americas, Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) regions. The firm provides blasting technology, commercial explosives, and blasting services.
