ENAEX ARGENTINA CARRIED OUT ITS FIRST BLASTING WITH NATIONAL CASED EXPLOSIVES
In February, Enaex Argentina carried out a clearing in the VialAgro quarry, in Azul, Buenos Aires. It was detected that 35% of the shafts (37) were interconnected, which could generate explosive leakage and loss of efficiency. In addition, some pits required reducing the load factor for safety reasons.
To solve this problem, cartridge explosives were used, the first ones manufactured in Argentina by Enaex. The blasting, of 2.6 tons, was a success, achieving safety, excellent fragmentation and displacement.
This advance reinforces Enaex’s commitment to safety, efficiency and innovation in the explosives and blasting industry.
