Safety technologies: EVOBLAST Group at the exhibition “Mine. Ural-2024”

From October 23 to 25, 2024, the International Exhibition of Mining Equipment and Technologies Mining Forum "Mine. Ural" were held in Yekaterinburg. EVOBLAST Group, a technological expert in the field of drilling and blasting operations and a developer of innovative solutions for the mining industry, participated in the business program. This year, the exhibition brought together more than 250 companies and 5,000 visitors from Russia and foreign countries. And as part of the forum business program, more than 150 experts discussed industry issues. In particular, a separate section was devoted to the introduction of safe technologies in the work of mining companies.

EVOBLAST Group acted as a partner of the "Mining Safety" section. Safety is the main value of the company at every stage of drilling and blasting operations. Sergey Moser, Director of Strategic Development of the EVOBLAST Group, Head of the EVOBLAST Engineering Department, devoted his report to improving the safety of blasting operations using modern electronic initiation systems (EBS). This advanced technology provides higher accuracy of detonator, has a lower error, and allows remote programming of the delay time. Another advantage is the ability to check the blast network wiring for unconnected or inoperative detonators. All these parameters increase the safety of blasting operations. In his report, Sergey also covered new partner developments of different chassis for locally produced mixing and charging trucks for underground mining, casing pipes for near-toe holes, charging hoses line, as well as a comprehensive solution for identification of rocks displacement after blast.
"The EVOBLAST Group has more than 15 years of experience in using EBS and in the nearest future plans a complete transition to electronic initiation systems at the sites where the Group carries out drilling and blasting operations," Sergey clarified.
The company is always ready to share its expertise in the field of innovative technologies with colleagues in the industry. For example, EVOBLAST Engineering offers miners a practically oriented training course "Safe and Efficient Blasting Operations."
