Benefits of application the modern technology of mechanized charging the boreholes at the OP Potrlica Pljevlja

Abstract

In order to improve the blasting technology, the Coal Mine Pljevlja bought a vehicle for mechanized charging of boreholes. The application of this technology has significantly improved the effects and improved the conditions of blasting at the Open Pit Potrlica. The present work describes the savings of application the technology of mechanized charging the boreholes. An analysis was carried out for three variants. Variant 1 involves the use of mechanized charging of boreholes with a nonel system for initiation. Variant 2 involves the use of blasting technology with cartridge explosive and Nonel initiation system. Variant 3 involves the blasting technology with detonating cord initiation.
