CONEXPO PREVIEW
By paying attention to how material moves, impacts and interacts with equipment, operations can significantly reduce airborne dust and improve workplace safety, equipment longevity and environmental performance, GRT Rubber says
of your sealing system,” the company says.“ The belt must maintain a straight, stable trajectory through the impact zone. To achieve this, components such as Impact Beds, Belt Stabilizers and Slider Bars are essential. These elements keep the belt flat and supported, ensuring continuous contact between the belt and sealing components.”
A well-designed dust mitigation system is more than a collection of parts; it’ s an integrated solution that considers speed, containment length, airflow and belt stability, GRT Rubber says. By optimising these factors, operators can achieve measurable dust control improvements without excessive maintenance or costly downtime.
Enhancing blasting outcomes
Dyno Nobel is looking forward to showcasing Navus™, its new handheld electronic blasting system, at CONEXPO.
Navus is a standalone, portable blasting system that gives operators everything they need to effectively and reliably initiate in the palm of their hand, the company says.
Weighing just 600 g, it offers the same uncompromising safety, reliability and timing precision as large, centralised initiation systems in a lightweight unit that can be carried anywhere on site, Dyno Nobel says, with the Navus and Tagger both fitting neatly in a single case for easy, fatigue-free transportation.
“ Integrating seamlessly with Dyno Nobel’ s full range of electronic detonators, Navus gives operations an ideal way to enhance blasting outcomes,” it says.“ It can initiate up to 400 DigiShot ® Plus detonators per blast and supports 2,500 m of harness wire for extended set-ups. And for optimal performance in even the toughest conditions, Navus is engineered for durability with a rugged IP57-rated design.”
For initiation of NONEL rounds, Navus pairs with Dyno Nobel’ s DriftShot ® Starter to enhance safety and reliability.
Unlike traditional electric detonators, DriftShot Starters eliminate stray currents, radiofrequency interference and static discharge, Dyno Nobel explains.“ Together, Navus and DriftShot Starters empower operations with greater safety, precision, efficiency and control when initiating NONEL rounds for superior blasting outcomes,” it added.
As operations transition from electric or non-electric detonators to electronic detonators, Navus offers a combination of capability and simplicity. It pairs seamlessly with Dyno Nobel’ s electronic detonator series to provide the benefits of advanced technology without the need for a largescale system, according to the company. Together, they can help increase throughput, decrease downstream costs and deliver measurable improvements in fragmentation and vibration control.
Dyno Nobel concluded:“ With no external setup or accessories necessary, Navus’ s lightweight design is engineered
for adaptability and simplicity in the field. It automatically detects and tests detonators, monitors line integrity and checks for shorts for enhanced safety. Navus can be used as a primary device for daily blasting or as a complementary tool alongside larger systems for unmatched flexibility and adaptability.”
In addition to Navus, Dyno Nobel will showcase its Seam to Stone ® approach to optimisation, DIFFERENTIAL ENERGY ® and Delta E2( ΔE2 ®) technologies, Nobel Fire ® digital platform and more in Las Vegas.
