Description

The DynoTracker is a device that attaches to the end of a standard charging hose
used for loading ANFO. This device allows the use of ANFO instead of expensive 12

Tube Explosives

Application

ANFO PS
ANFO is blow-loaded through the DynoTracker using the normal blow-loading 8

blends
technique. It loads a partially loaded (decoupled) charge of ANFO into "low
inclination" drillholes such as those employed in jumbo development mining. The 6
decoupled charge produces a low order explosion when the primer detonates.
This is ideal for the control of perimeter blasting, resulting in smoother tunnel 4

Costs
walls with less overbreak.

DynoTracker™ Technical
Information

Features and Benefits Recommendations (cont’d)

 The use of DynoTracker allows a low cost alternative to conventional tunnel
perimeter charges in dry ground.
 Inventory can be rationalised as the need for tube type charge is eliminated.
 Reduced hanging material remains on the perimeter after blasting,
reducing overbreak, scaling time and support requirements.
 Inventory is reduced in the magazine and time is saved in loading explosives
onto the charge up vehicle.
 No additional equipment is required on the charge up vehicle, e.g. extra
pneumatic loader for PS products.
Recommendations
Priming - Push a primer to the toe of each perimeter hole. Load a toe charge
(~300mm) of ANFO at normal pressure (~60psi). This will secure the primer and
reduce any butts.
Attachment - Ensure the end of the loading hose is cut square before screwing
on the DynoTracker. The device is easily attached to/detached from a standard
26mm OD semi conductive charging hose. Test the connection before loading.
Water - Ensure there is no water in perimeter holes, as water will quickly dissolve
the decoupled charge of ANFO.
Loading - Reduce the air pressure on the ANFO loader to ~30psi, depending on
the hose length. Insert the DynoTracker into the hole, keeping it pressed against
the toe charge. Load through the DynoTracker while retracting the loading hose
as per normal blow loading practice. This results in a decoupled “string” of ANFO
in the hole.
Safe handling, transportation and storage
First Aid – This product is manufactured from inert material.
Safety – The device itself is non-explosive, however, it is designed for use with
explosives which are classified as dangerous goods and these can cause
personal injury and damage to property if used incorrectly.
Transportation and Storage – There are no specific storage requirements or
constraints other than those associated with any electronic device.
