Mining & Quarrying

The Cardox System is classified non-explosive. That single classification removes the licensing, the magazine, the notification and the transport permits — and it is why the system works on sites where conventional blasting is restricted or simply unavailable.

Winning and breaking

• Dimensional stone — two tubes split and heave a block of over 50 tonnes along its natural bed plane. Yields of 5–20 m³ per tube.
• General quarrying — 3–6 m³ per tube in typical strata
• Coal and ore winning — a controlled forward heave rather than a shatter, producing large clean lump instead of fines
• Boulder breaking and secondary reduction
• Underground work, including gaseous mines

Storage and handling

The same equipment clears the vessels downstream — ore hoppers and bunkers, concentrate and coarse ore bins, reclaim hoppers and transfer points. See materials and vessels.
