SITE MIXED SYSTEM PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Dyno Nobel SITE MIXED SYSTEM™ [SMS™] represents
Nonexplosive-Until-Pumped Explosives the most advanced and economical method to safely deliver high performance, water
resistant bulk explosives to the borehole. The SMS Bulk Delivery Truck and the SMS
Bulk Emulsion Explosive formulas are the key components of SMS.
SDS The SMS Bulk Delivery Truck is a self-contained, mobile bulk emulsion manufacturing
Properties #1052 facility which produces SMS Bulk Emulsion explosives and then delivers it to the bottom
of the borehole. Only non-explosive ingredients are used!

SITE MIXED SYSTEM APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS - continued
• ALWAYS double prime when bulk explosive columns
Nonexplosive-Until-Pumped Explosives exceed 20 ft. One primer should be positioned near the bottom of the hole and the
second nearer the top of the explosive column.

TRANSPORTATION, STORAGE AND HANDLING • Do not use detonating cord in borehole diameters less than 178 mm (7 in ).

• NEVER store SMS 1116, 1116A, 1136P, 1146P and HD. These are bulk, site-mixed • NEVER use SMS emulsion explosives in boreholes deeper than 30 m (100 ft). Where
booster sensitive emulsion explosives delivered directly into the borehole. applications require SMS emulsion explosives be used in borehole depths exceeding
100 ft (30m), the conventional alternative (solid density control) to chemical gas
• Transport, store, handle and use SMS ingredients in compliance with federal, state, sensitization is optional. Before planning an SMS blasting program for deep boreholes,
provincial and local laws governing bulk hazardous materials. ALWAYS contact the Dyno Nobel representative for product recommendations.
• Borehole sleep time is two (2) weeks. Where geology is wet and extended sleep
times are anticipated, ALWAYS limit ANFO percentage in Dyno Gold LD Heavy ANFO
blends to less than 50%. When product will sleep overnight and less water resistant
blends are being considered, consult your Dyno Nobel representative for loading
recommendations.
• ALWAYS use average borehole loading density for blast design and to estimate
explosive requirements. Chemically gassed emulsion explosives provide an unique
loading density gradient in the borehole with highest density at the bottom and
lowest density at the top. Consult the density/depth curves to determine average
borehole density.
• Only the Dyno Nobel SMS Bulk Delivery Truck can be used to manufacture Dyno
Nobel’s SMS emulsion explosives and the SMS Bulk Delivery Truck can be operated
only by personnel who have received Dyno Nobel SMS training.
• ALWAYS calibrate Dyno Nobel’s SMS Bulk Delivery Trucks periodically to ensure
emulsion explosive quality and explosive performance. Ensure safety systems are
operational before each use.
• Routinely monitor the SMS emulsion explosive density to ensure that equipment
remains in calibration during loading,
