The LOADPlus™ is a control system for the delivery of explosives (in the form of emulsion) in underground and aboveground mining operations. The LOADPlus™system has been designed to automate the loading of holes for development and production blasting, delivering explosives faster, more accurately and efficiently. The ruggerdised system is used in operating scenarios from elevated work platforms underground, exposed to falling rock, acidic water and corrosive substances to above ground operations prone to extreme temperature ranges. The outcomes are more efficient, reliable and accurate loading and more predictable blast detonations which improve the safety and production capabilities of mines worldwide.
