CHARGING

The number 1 system for your charging jobs

Modern highly competitive underground mining and tunnelling provide cost effective and safe excavation and rock reinforcement procedures. The machinery and equipment provided have to be safe and reliable and must also comply with constantly growing productivity and economic requirements of the mining industry.

Normet introduces a complete range of underground liftmobiles and explosive chargers designed to comply with these requirements. They are based on Normet's more than 40 years' accumulated experience and close partnership with international tunnelling and mining customers. Normet's respected sales records include hundreds of mobile units delivered worldwide to hard rock mines and civil tunnelling projects; due to high durability, a majority of them are still in use!

Charmec - Explosive Chargers

Successful drill & blast excavation provides professional and safe charging and blasting procedures. Rock and ground water conditions dictate drilling parameters, types of explosives, charging patterns and initiating systems. Inadequete drilling cycles cannot be improved by any means of charging, whereas good quality drilling can be ruined by inadequate blast design and poor charging quality. Therefore charging procedures must be properly mechanized.

The NC type Normet carrier with strong support legs provides uncompromising driving safety and lifting stability.

Normet Charmec is the safe, reliable and cost effective solution for high quality explosive charging of bulk ANFO, Emulsions or other explosives. Charmec's range mechanizes charging in production blasting, mine development works and construction of large profile civil tunnels. Charmec complies with European man-lifting safety regulations and carries the CE-label.

Charmec 1610 B
is designed for mechanizing highly productive explosives- charging in mines. It is furnished with 2x500 kg ANFO charging kits, including charging hoses for simultaneous charging by 2 or 4 miners, control units, isolated storage for detonators, and a charging air compressor. The boom lift and platform are designed to enable charging reach up to 8,4 m.
Charmec 6605 B

mechanizes explosives charging in small and medium size mines. It is furnished with a 500 kg ANFO charging kit including charging hose(s), storage for detonators and charging air compressor. The boom lift and platform are designed to enable reach up to 8,4 m max. height. A clean working environment is provided when furnishing the machine with an optional electro-hydraulic power pack and an electrically driven air compressor.

Charmec 9905 BC ANT

with twin lift booms, 2 x 500 kg ANFO charging kits and an on-board air compressor is suitable for charging works in large section tunnels. The reach from one set-up to 11,7 m height and to 16 m total width covers practically all tunnel profiles used in civil construction. Therefore this Charmec is also a very versatile liftmobile for any necessary medium load lifting work in the tunnel.

Charmec 9910 BC ANX

with 2 x 500 kg Anfo Kits uses the Normet Superboom and work platform capable of easily lifting the entire charging crew and their tools. Large lifting coverage enables working faces 10 m high and 12,5 m wide. An on-board air compressor provides the charging air, and an isolated box enables safe storing of detonators and primers.

Emulsion explosives charging

Normet has developed in cooperation with customers and explosive system suppliers the Charmec 9825 BE concept for automated charging of modern emulsion explosives. The concept is suitable for both short and long hole charging. It is fully programmable, but several pre-programmed features are built in to ease the operator's work.

Charmec 9825 BE

consists of a Normet NC 98 mining carrier, emulsion module and boom lifter with 500 kg lifting load and max. 5,80 m platform height for reaching to 8 m high roofs. The emulsion module is comprised of emulsion pumping and sensitizing systems, safety systems, storage facilities for emulsion components and water, automatic charging hose feeder and hose, as well as an automated CAN-Bus control system. Depending on the charging hose diameter and pumping length, the concept provides a charging capacity of up to 80 kg/min.
