A cost effective and highly productive solution for delivering high explosive emulsion to blast holes. The EL-3 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.
- The MacLean Advantage:
* 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
* Ease of maintenance with electronic engine diagnostics, accessible fuel filling and grease points
* Clean burning, fuel-efficient engine minimizes harmful emissions
* Superior traction due to four wheel drive and power shift transmission
-Features:
* Self-contained charging system with 4100 kg emulsion payload
* Ample separate storage capacity for caps and blasting supplies
* Stainless steel pumping components
* PLC with "touch screen" controls
