NOTE: Although this video shows an up-close look at the blasting process, NEVER go near an active surface mine or blast site without Federal training and permission.
FYI, the white bags are Emulsified Ammonium Nitrate. The read cap is TNT and the silver rod that is connected to it by the yellow wire is the blasting cap, it's what ignites the shot. The white pebbles that are emptied into the blast holes by the powder trucks are the main explosive- "ANFO" or Ammonium Nitrate, which is a mixture of fertilizer and diesel fuel. Once the holes are filled with explosives, rock fines or "stemming" is pushed back in the holes and packed down to keep the explosives under pressure. After all the holes are loaded and rigged up, it's time for the fireworks! And remember kids, don't try this at home!
Chapter List:
0:00 Detonator/ Booster
1:10 Bulk Emulsion
1:54 ANFO Loading
3:47 Stemming
4:01 Blast

Josh, I did this when I was 16 years old at Eagle Mountain Iron Mine. I got 5 bucks an hour. I thought I was rich. The yellow cord is called blasting cord which is detonated with a high voltage electrical charge. It explodes at the rate of three miles a second. The red charges are called titan boosters and are used to set off the actual,explosive charges which are placed in the drill holes. The holes are about twelve inches in diameter and vary in depth. The explosive is a large cartridge, about twenty five pounds of nitrogen prills , little BBs, thoroughly soaked in diesel fuel. Some of the holes call for ten or twelve cartridges each. Without the Diesel fuel the prills are just garden fertilizer but the chemical mixture makes for a ultra high energy explosive charge and it is relatively cheap. Grandpas company bought the patent from the inventor for $25,000. Probably the greatest bargain of the twentieth century. Dad

Worked in Blasting for 8+ years in WV coal surface mining. Our normal depth was 70’-90’ to the coal. We stayed anywhere from 4’-6’ off the coal, to keep it from “shooting up” the coal. We used the same blasting materials. ANFO, the wet bags (premixed “blend” emulsion and ANFO) non-electric surface and down hole delays, boosters, the shot loader trucks, ect…. We had Infladec self inflating bags we used to separate the water and ANFO in the hole. Those emulsion bags would shove the water up the hole and you would still get your powder wet with out them. That’s why after the detonation you see the yellow smoke in the dust and white smoke. That is because it could not “burn” sufficiently and only partially ignite. Those yellow fumes are toxic! 🤮🤢 I always liked running 9ms across the face echelon and 100ms back the rows. Start it from the middle row. Worked pretty well. We held 8’ on stemming. My nearest structure was 2+ miles away. No seismograph or anything. I could load r high and let r fly! I miss the job some days but when it’s winter time n -10* I don’t miss it at all! Those were fun times! Very hard work! Those guys earn there pay checks! I leaned so much in those 8 years. I don’t claim to gods gift to blasting at all! I was always open to other blasters ideas and ways. That was the fun in it. Always trying new things. That job location allowed me to try them. Since my lay off in 2015 I am sure there is all kinds of new technology out there. The unitronics (by Orica) was just being released b4 my layoff. The safety with it was awesome. Extra work involved scanning the time in for each down hole delay was tedious. But once they received the blast signal the wire could be cut and it would go off at that assigned time. That was a plus! Helps with a miss fire!

That fine rock used to backfill the drill hole is called stemming. The purpose is to keep the explosives under pressure so that they explode outward and break the rock. Without the stemming, the explosives would just blow right out of the hole when they go off.

Done this before, on a lot bigger scale to get stone out for building wind turbine bases, 5 days drilling holes, 6 hours filling the holes with mix and boosters, 4 hours filling up with stemming on an awkward cliff edge from sacks due to the position we couldn't get a backhoe in and it took 4 days to take out the broken rock with dumpers and 50 ton machines, found some gold down about 15 meters as well

Knew of a company in Dublin Ohio that did road construction and mining work in Ohio and PA, I believe they may be long out of business, went to an auction at their Dublin location back in the 90's. they were selling off most everything. They had an ANFO truck and an explosives carrier truck for sale at this auction.

I used to work with a construction co that had drill and blast crew I asked him to call me before they shot I would go to the site to watch I was like a kid that never got old😂. They would use blast mats to cover after back filling the holes except this one time he pointed out a specific area to watch. As the blast went off this massive bolder 1/2 the size of a small compact car became airborne. He said keep your eye on it if it gets too close get under this dozer. I never seen nothing like that before. I was getting concerned but after it touched down we all laughed!

@soundslikexmas
@soundslikexmas 7 лет назад
Did you stem with residue from the drilling? (Not sure of the techical term in English) Never blasted coal, but in harder rock that would probably lead to poor fragmentation as most of the gasses vent up. No idea how deep these holes are or how much you stemmed. Guessing no problem with water here, is it purely price that make you use ANFO instead of emulsion? Or is the rock to fragmented/layered (again no idea of English technical terms)
@PAmining
@PAmining 7 лет назад
Normally the drill cuttings are used for stemming, however sometimes crushed rock is used. Water was a problem here, hence why the emulsion bags were used.
