Dyno Nobel introduced the Ranger Initiation System for small-scale blasting. It integrates with the DigiShot tagger and ViewShot for a complete system that simplifies the design, tag and blast process, the company said.
Ranger allows the user to assign hole location and delay time at the hole or to assign delay times at any time the user prefers. That level of flexibility gives the user the opportunity to adjust the process to their needs, speeding up the tagging process, the supplier said. The user can also change the delay with the push of a button.
Ranger offers a tag-by-plan option, which uses a predesigned pattern. The user aligns the correct hole with the valid hole number on the tagger. The feature significantly reduces the potential for user error, and for misfires, Dyno Nobel said.
Key benefits include improved safety and productivity, said Braden Lusk, president, Dyno Nobel. “The Ranger delivers the safety and reliability that customers need by providing both automatic detonator detection and voltage verification in an easy-to-use unit.”
