Borehole Plugs Can be Installed with One Hand


TMTi Group, a manufacturer and distributor of drill and blast consumables to the global mining sector, announces the release of the Solo BlastBag borehole plugs, claimed to be the first ever single-handed deployable, two-speed BlastBag. According to the company, the bags’ two-speed aerosol latch is the first of its kind and works in all temperatures from extreme heat to extreme cold. As the name implies, Solo indicates the ability to deploy and use the product with one hand. The user simply presses the trigger with his or her thumb to the first indent to activate fast inflation, or presses the trigger to the second indent for slow inflation. (If necessary, the bag can be turned upside down after activating either speed to take advantage of a third or fourth slower speed.) Product marking and branding displays all relevant information pertaining to use, safety and hole size clearly on the outside of every bag. The company states that Solo utilizes the only completely non-flammable, non-toxic aerosol propellant on the market, and is manufactured with a seamless aluminum aerosol can with a pressure rating of 20 bar (steel is also available). The Solo is available in eight sizes ranging from 64 mm (2.5 in.) through 351 mm (13-7/8 in.). Custom sizes also are available upon request.
