Underground Explosives Charging Machines
Explosives charging machines are an essential part of the drilling and blasting cycle in mining and tunnelling operations. These machines are engineered for the controlled loading of ANFO and bulk emulsion explosives into blast holes, ensuring accuracy, safety and operational efficiency in confined underground environments.
Modern underground charging equipment is built on heavy-duty articulated carriers and integrates advanced bulk explosive handling systems, calibrated dosing units, onboard compressors, storage tanks and FOPS/ROPS-certified operator cabins. Such machines are designed to support development headings, production stopes and long-hole blasting operations while maintaining strict safety and productivity standards.
The main types of underground explosives charging machines include:
- ANFO charging machines for dry bulk explosives
- Bulk emulsion charging units with integrated pumping systems
- Face charging vehicles for development blasting
- Production charging equipment for long-hole applications
Underground charging machines are widely manufactured by leading mining equipment brands such as Normet, Epiroc and other global OEM suppliers.
