  • DESCRIPTION

    BERANEX-A, type ANFO is an explosive for civil usage. It is plain, relatively harmless explosive mixture composed of porous Ammonium Nitrate and diesel fuel. It is quite meuble.

    APPLICATION

    Since detonating characteristics of these explosives are lower than classic powder ones, they are applied in blasting where soft or rocks of medium degree of hardness exist in mining, construction works and any kind of works where meuble material is wanted. They are applied directly into the drill hole. Since it is not water resistant it is applied exclusively in dry conditions. It is not to be used in pits with methane or explosive carbon dust.

    INITIATION

    Since BERANEX-A is not sensitive to initial impulse of DK No.8 mining caps and detonating cord, detonation booster is used (pentolite booster - min. 200 g) or the equivalent amount of stronger explosive for the civil usage.
  • DESCRIPTION

    Powder explosive BERANIT - 1 (Ø28) is ammonium nitrate - TNT based on ammonium nitrate as oxidant and trinitrotoluene (TNT) as additive with certain addition of organic fuels, substances and means that help protect explosive from moisture and curing.

    APPLICATION

    Since powder explosive is constant at temperature changes it can be successfully applied at both low and high temperatures, with additional moisture protection due to hygroscopic features of the basic component. Depending on detonation speed and brisance, powder explosives BERANIT - 1 is applied in blasting where soft, medium or rocks of high degree of hardness exist in mining (surface mining, pits with no risk of methane or dangerous coal dust appearance), construction works, hydro construction, tunnel construction etc. Combining powder and semi-plastic explosives BERANITS of higher brisance excellent gives excellent results in blasting materials of high degree of hardness. All powder explosives are extremely moisture sensitive even though certain chemical additives, as well as their polyethylene packing, lower the influence of ammonium nitrate hygroscopic features.

    INITIATION

    Powder explosive BERANIT-1 is initiated by a No.8 mining caps, electric detonator, non-electric detonators (system POLINEL) and detonating cord.
  • DESCRIPTION

    Powder explosives BERANIT - 1, BERANIT - 2 and BERANIT - 3 are ammonium nitrate - TNT based on ammonium nitrate as oxidant and trinitrotoluene (TNT) as additive with certain addition of organic fuels, substances and means that help protect explosive from moisture and curing.

    INITIATION

    Powder explosives BERANIT-1, BERANIT-2 and BERANIT-3 are initiated by a No.8 mining caps, electric detonator, non-electric detonators (system POLINEL) and detonating cord.
  • DESCRIPTION

    BERANIT is a bran new type of semi-plastic explosive, sensitive to Mining cap number 8. Depending on application conditions it can be delivered in following types 301A and 351.

    APPLICATION

    These explosives do not have evaporation of nitro-oils (as it usually happens with explosives based on nitroglycerine) and also they do not turn into solid mass. Therefore their resistance to external mechanical influences remains consistent for a long period. Do not use in pits with methane or explosive carbon dust! Cartridges are in range from 28 up to 100 mm, paced in water resistant cardboard boxes dim. 350 x 300 x 300 mm, weight up to 20 kg. Cartridges density is in range from 1,30 up to 1,35 g/cm.
  • DESCRIPTION

    Water resistant plastic explosives BERANIT - 30 P and BERANIT - 37 besides AN as oxidant and TNT as combustible component also contain water and highly molecular plasticizers which help them maintain high water resistance, high density, high and stabile detonation speed and above all high brisance as well as extremely safety feature.

    APPLICATION

    Considering all above mentioned features these explosives are recommended whilst mining rocks of highest degree of hardness on surface drill holes (because of their negative oxygen ratio) especially where possible presence of water is expected. Since they are extremely resistant to hydrostatic pressure and since they have extremely constant detonation speed for given diameters, we recommend them even for seismic tests.

    INITIATION

    For not being sensitive to initial impulse of DK - 8 and detonating cord for their initiation detonation booster has to be used. In order to obtain full detonation speed we suggest molten (plastic) boosters whose diameter should be approximate to cartridge diameter. Come to booster and detonating cord, initiation is to be done from the top of the drill hole, and in case blasting is done with booster and Nonel (Polinel) detonator initiation is to be done from the bottom of the drill hole.
