Manufacture of explosives

Along with the rapid development of the mining sector, we are upgrading equipment and technology, increasing production capacity, and producing quality products that meet customer needs.

“Blast” LLC produces the following types of explosives in a factory with a fully automated control system and safety.

Bulk explosives

Bulk explosives are delivered in a specifically designed explosive vehicles, which are reliable, time saving with fast loading performances. Also the product is environmentally friendly, that meets industry safety requirements. We manufacture and supply the following types of bulk explosives for our customers.

Including:

  • Bulk emulsion explosives / BLEMEX BULK & BLEMEX BLEND /
  • Bulk ANFO

General usageWet and dewatered boreholeDry borehole
As a bulk emulsion (Blemex Bulk) becomes sensitised explosive only after loading into a borehole, which makes it safer product. We have built a plant based on USA technology near the mine and open pit with wet and dry boreholes, conducting blasting work. These explosives can be used by appliyng the strength and VOD of the explosion according to the geological characteristics of the mine.

We make Blemex Blend explosives using bulk emulsion explosives with additives, which increases the VOD and bulk strength. Depending on the specific conditions of the mine, the use of bulk emulsion explosive is highly effective for hard rock types.

We produce ANFO explosives that meets the Mongolian standard MNS 4223: 94, depending on the customer’s requirements explosives are delivered by specifically designed vehicles for dry boreholes. Productivity is high considering the low cost of the product and loading the borehole is done within short time frame.

PACKAGING TECHNOLOGY

Packaged explosive is a product suitable for the use in Mongolia’s harsh climate and have a long shelf life. For the customer’s with a low consumption and seasonal limitation, it is ideal for stockpiling in a storage magazine. We produce the following types of packaged explosives.

Packaged emulsion explosives are widely used for blasting operations in a gas and dust safe environment such as open and underground mines. This type of explosives has a high VOD and brisance and can be packaged in any diameter from 32 to 220 mm, depending on the customer’s demand.

Ordinary or reinforced explosives are packaged in a double polyethylene lined bags which is manufactured by a complete set of stationary equipment with a fully automated control system made in the USA.

Reinforced explosives with aluminum granules do not generate particles in the air and do not accumulate static charges, therefore it is safe and friendly for the environment and health issues. Compared to ordinary explosives it is more suitable for open pit iron ore mining with hard rocks and permafrost ground due to its high VOD and capacity.
