DynoStart is a battery powered electronic blasting machine for initiation of NONEL tube. Electrical energy is converted into a strong shock wave of high temperature that, when applied inside a NONEL tube by the means of an electrode, initiates the tube.
This baterry uses a common 9V battery and a durable electrode. Both battery and electrode are easy to change. The electrode can be removed from the blasting machine at any time to prevent unauthorised usage. It is designed to require the use of both hands when initiating the blast. This is to avoid unintentional firing of a blast.
The various Benefit of DS2 are mainly:
- High-energy explosive: its detonation velocity is approximately 7,000 m/s;
- Water-resistant: it is suitable for use in wet or damp conditions;
- Low vibration: DS2 is formulated to produce low vibration, reducing the risk of damage to surrounding structures;
- High fragmentation: it produces high fragmentation making it ideal for rock blasting and excavation;
- Meets safety standard: DS2 meets relevant safety standards for explosives, including those set by the International Society of Explosives Engineers.
It is commonly used in various mining applications such as: rock blasting, tunneling and even quarrying.
