Normet Charmec SF 505 DA(V) Overview
The Normet Charmec SF 505 DA(V) is a diesel-hydraulic underground ANFO charging machine engineered for face and production charging in mining drifts and tunnels with face heights up to 7.4 meters. Its robust carrier platform and articulated basket boom provide stability, maneuverability and efficient explosive delivery in confined underground environments.
The machine is equipped with dual ANFO vessel configurations, allowing sufficient explosive storage capacity for multiple charging cycles without frequent refilling. Integrated storage areas for stick powder, primers and detonators enable operators to transport all necessary blasting materials directly to the working face, eliminating the need for additional service vehicles. Optional onboard compressor solutions remove dependency on external compressed air lines.
