Detonator Holders
Grange Resources, operating a large Iron Ore mine in Southwest Tasmania, enlisted PWS to design and manufacture HDPE detonator holders for their drill and blast activities. These holders are crucial for safely and securely placing and maintaining detonators at the correct depth and alignment within the blast pattern in the mining pit.
Collaborating closely with the Grange team, PWS designed and manufactured approximately 1000 detonator holders in our workshop. Each holder consists of a detonator body and cap connected to 18 meters of DN20 HDPE. To facilitate transport, storage, and later use, each 18-meter holder is coiled and securely secured.
The design and manufacture of these detonator holders provide Grange with a fit-for-purpose, lightweight, durable solution that enhances safety and efficiency, supporting the ongoing expansion of their mining operations.
