“ Together, BME and DynaEnergetics are bringing cutting-edge blasting technology solutions to the mining industry, setting new standards for safer, more efficient operations worldwide,” said Scharf.
BME’ s locally developed AXXIS electronic detonation system has become a landmark feature of modern blasting practice in Africa and beyond, with the new-generation AXXIS Titanium model released in 2022.
“ We look forward to further strengthening this relationship and bringing game-changing technology to the global mining sector,” said Hariparsad.
The Igneo system, developed by DynaEnergetics in collaboration with a leading global gold mining company, has been able to perform safely in the hottest open cut gold mine in the world – off the coast of Papua New Guinea. The core of the Igneo system is the HTD150, an electronic detonator designed to withstand high temperatures up to 150 ° C for up to 48 hours. The device is also encased in a specially coated copper shell, making it resistant to highly corrosive mining environments.
According to DynaEnergetics’ vice-president of Product Management Thilo Scharf, safety and innovation are at the core of this partnership.
