EMULSION DELIVERY

TMS has a variety of manufactured equipment for surface and underground operations and is committed to R&D with i’ts technology partners to develop better and more cost-effective blasting solutions.

Surface Equipment

To deliver our products efficiently and cost-effectively in the opencast environment, we have developed a range of fit-for-purpose equipment.

Mobile manufacturing units (MMUs)

BME assembles a range of emulsion and heavy ANFO MMUs for TMS, which cater for all surface mining and quarrying applications.

Stemming trucks

TMS provides a stemming plant fitted on an Iveco 380 T42 WH 6x6 cab chassis, or chassis specified by the client. The stemming truck is capable of delivering 15-18 cubic meters of crush aggregate per load.

Cruiser charging unit (CCU)

TMS’ CCU is a compact charging system available for use with BME’ emulsion formulations for surface and underground.

Bulk technical support vehicle

This vehicle is fitted on a 4.2 l 4x4 Toyota Land Cruiser and is fully equipped to provide technical and monitoring capabilities, to enable operations to optimise their blasting.

Modularised emulsion plants

TMS’ plants are designed to be mobile, robust, and userfriendly, making them ideally suited for the mining environment. TMS provides a range of manufacturing capacities to suit customer demand as well as any other blast management related infrastructure such as storage, containerised offices, and technical equipment.

Underground Equipment

To make emulsion systems available throughout all underground operations, TMS & BME have developed an in- house range of emulsion pump technology.

Vertical emulsion pipeline

Designed to improve logistical efficiencies in the transportation of explosives to underground operations, BME’s emulsion pipeline delivers emulsion vertically from surface to underground storage tanks.

Underground filling stations

Designed to operate in conjunction with Portable Charging Unit (the Mini- Charger). These filling stations are permanently located near the entrance to operating sections.

Emulsion charging units (ECUs)

These can be fitted to a wide range of underground mine carriers and are ideal for large trackless operations, where extensive quantities of emulsion are required for each blast.

Maxi-Charger (rail-bound)

The MaxiCharger is a compact charging system developed for use with emulsions and is designed for track-bound development operations.

Mega-Charger HP1500 and LP1500

This purpose-built charging unit is designed for reduced capital outlay and is available in both low-profile and high-profile designs in mechanised underground mining operations.

Uphole Charging Unit or Mega-Charger Uphole

The new range of Uphole Charging Units have been designed for underground massive mining operations, which use uphole blasting practices.

Mini-Charger portable charging unit (PCU)

This PCU represents the forefront of pumpable emulsion technology available for use in narrow orebody mining operations. The PCU is manufactured for rough underground conditions,but is light and compact enough to be carried into stopes by mine personnel.

Maxi-Charger

This has been designed for rapid reloading in large development and stoping faces. The high strength pump allows for longer hose lengths and can connect up to six emulsion bags at a time.

OPTIMAL BLASTING  SERVICES

TMS delivers a wide range of service packages that deliver real quantifiable value through optimal blasts by leveraging BME’s knowledge base and best in class technology, products, and equipment. Additional customised services are available to meet unique local customer requirements.

PRIME, LOAD, TIE, AND SHOOT (PLTS)

TMS’s PLTS service is designed for customers who require TMS’ team to perform a full blasting service. This service ensures that skilled resources

are available to the customer to achieve the best blasting results.

This service option is ideal for companies whose core business is not blast planning and execution. TMS takes on the responsibility for the full operation, safety, and management of the blast service.

ROCK ON GROUND SERVICE (ROG)

In this comprehensive service to the client, TMS takes full responsibility from blast design to analysing fragmented rock (excluding drilling), allowing the client to outsource this function with value being measured on fragmentation quality and volume of broken rock.

We provide the materials, equipment and skilled staff required to deliver cost-effective and quality blasting, allowing the client to focus on their core business
