Mine-Mate™ Series EC3-Emulsion Charger

The MacLean Advantage:

 

A cost effective and highly productive solution for delivering high-explosive emulsion to blast holes. The Mine-Mate™ Series EC3 is specifically designed to the exacting standards necessary for the transport and pumping of bulk emulsion in the underground work environment. The bulk pumping system can also be configured as a cassette package for easy removal when doing preventative maintenance or repairs.

 

BENEFITS:

 

Wide coverage from single set-up

Pre-programmed, variable charging densities and pump rates

Improvement in primary blast efficiency controls fragmentation and maintains stope integrity; reduction in secondary breaking requirements

Productivity improvements, especially in up-hole loading

Material handling advantages

Auxiliary pumping system enables in-stope resupply of emulsion product

Reduced environmental impact from spillage and contamination

Reduction in overall mining costs through drill pattern expansion, improved breakage, reduced manpower requirements and increased LHD productivity

Long life power train using proven Caterpillar components
