ENAEX BRAZIL ATTENDS THE BRASMIN FAIR
Enaex Brazil was present at the first edition of Brasmin 2022, a Mining Industry Fair, held in Goiânia City, State of Goiás, from May 24th to 26th. The stand of Enaex presented the new rock blasting solution, the Daveytronic Swift®, a recent electronic initiation system for tunnels and subway mines, which visitors were able to see in action.
The public had access to a simulation of how this product works in real life, in a space that recreated a subway mine. On the last day of the fair, Plasma 4TH® was presented, a non-explosive technology recommended for places with restrictions on the use of explosives, and which is exclusive to the Enaex catalog.
The event gathered several clients and offered an exchange of commercial networks and new potential clients for the company. Danilo Vieria, Commercial Manager of Enaex Brazil, defined the fair as “an opportunity to show our great experience in the explosives market and our ability to deliver services tailored to the needs of each client”.

ECOTRUCK: THE NEW INNOVATION WITH WHICH ENAEX SEEKS TO MAKE ITS OPERATIONS MORE SUSTAINABLE
The EcoTruck truck is Enaex’s new innovation that aligns with the strategy of the main mining companies to make the industry more sustainable. This new machine suppresses the use of oil and diesel refueling trucks and provides versatility by being able to manufacture various mixtures on site.
At the beginning of June, this machine successfully completed its first test by supplying a factory truck with a mixture of oil and ALR in a 50/50 ratio, making it possible to load 39% of the shafts of a grid at Pacific Mining Company’s El Romeral Mine. The result of the operation was executed smoothly, and with optimal fragmentation, marking the first major milestone for the mix created in the EcoTruck.
Javier Ayestarán, Plant Manager at Romeral Plant, celebrates that “the EcoTruck has been a great added value to the operation because not only it fits the trend of making the processes more sustainable with recycled materials, but it also allows us to manufacture mixes according to the client’s needs, what they really require”.
