Documents

Description and Application

SUPREME ELEMENTED DET is a delayed capsule head designed for use by combining it with a shock tube and rubber casing of the required length. It is used to produce non-electric capsules. There are primarily four types of Elemented DET, namely Type A, Type B, Type C, and Type D. The first two, Type A and Type B, are designed for surface mainline use. They are produced with low energy and millisecond delay. Type C and Type D are used for downhole applications.  

Usage Recommendations

SUPREME ELEMENTED DET is assembled by placing it into a SUPREME TUBE for direct use. Explosives of Type A and Type B consist of low energy millisecond delay explosives found in a plastic connector block. It is designed for surface delay in non-electric blasting setups in quarries, surface coal mines, open-pit mines, and construction projects. Capsules of Type B, Type C, and Type D, used with shock tubes and other non-electric delay systems, provide flexibility and ease of use, offering both short delay and long delay non-electric firing systems for blasting designs.

Advantages

Ready to use and easy to install, Provides a solution to stock costs and stock mix-up, Reduces operating and shipping costs, Can be used in all weather conditions.
