Rock Breaking Cartridges

CARTRIDGE RANGE 

CONTROL YOUR BLASTING WITH SPECIFIC POWER CHARGES

AutoStem identified a need for a smaller rock breaking cartridge that could be used without air compressors, rock drills, and air hoses. The AutoStem Micro Range of Cartridges was specifically designed for applications where our customers prefer to use hand-held electric or battery powered hand drills, rather than incurring the cost, labour and extra effort in using portable air compressors and handheld rock drills.

The cost of Rock or Concrete breaking using the AutoStem Micro Range is in some cases more than 90% cheaper per cubic meter than conventional hydraulic rock breaking equipment.

 

The AutoStem Micro Range is perfect for sensitive/urban blasting without sacrificing power. AutoStem Micro Range of Blasting Cartridges are available in 9mm and 17mm diameters suitable for a 10mm and 20mm borehole respectively.

Effective charge weights per cartridge range from 3g – 40g making this the widest range of blasting products in its category globally.
