Hemispherical Shaped Charge 53mm provides a fast and effective way of unblocking blast-holes and clearing steel reinforcing within drill holes. When detonated the HSC53 propels a penetrating jet and broad form slug into the presented obstacle. Optimum jet penetration is Read More …

Hemispherical Shaped Charge 300mm (HSC 300) provides a rapid and effective way of explosively generating a borehole, or clearing draw points where drill/blast or bombing is ineffective. HSC 300 comprises a composition of explosives cast into a spun aluminium casing Read More …

FC160 Focal Charges provide a safe and effective secondary rock breakage method. A FC160 comprises nominally 2.6kg of high explosive cast into a moulded plastic form that defines a steep angle focal cavity. A detonating cord tail is cast into Read More …

FC115 Focal Charges are designed for secondary rock breakage. A FC115 is more efficient than an equivalent mass plaster charge, and does not require mud-capping. A FC115 may be rapidly deployed as it does not require any holes to be Read More …

Ballistic Discs provide a safe and effective way of remotely clearing hang ups and upstanding rill in draw points and stopes. When detonated a ballistic disc produces a large steel slug that is propelled at hypersonic velocity (2000-2600 m/s). The Read More …

Mining Overview AET manufactures a variety of shaped charges for an assortment of mining tasks: Ballistic Discs – for breaking up hang ups and upstanding rill in underground hard rock mines. Medium & large focal charges – for secondary rock Read More …
