What is an air deck? And how does it relate to mine blasting to maximize its benefits? We’ll discuss the innovative concept of an air deck, reveal the secrets behind MTi GROUP’s Blastbag™ , and provide a step-by-step guide on how to apply an air deck in mine blasting to achieve maximum results. If you’re looking for ways to improve efficiency and safety in mine blasting, you’ve come to the right place!

What is Blastbag™?

Blastbag™ is MTi Group’s patented blasting bag, developed in 2003 to meet the growing demand for blasting in open-pit and underground mines. Blastbag™ provides a highly patented air decking application worldwide.

The adoption of air decks has brought a breath of fresh air to mine blasting. This method utilizes Blastbags, one of which is the Blastbag™ developed by MTi GROUP. Blastbag™ is ideal for underground conditions, as its two bags and strong outer protective layer ensure no air leakage.

With the use of Blastbag™, blasting can be precisely controlled and the results are consistent. Blastbag™ allows for better fragmentation, safer finished walls, reduced explosive consumption, controlled void management, and Blastbag™ is not a dangerous good, is not affected by temperature, and inflates at the specified time.

How is air deck different from conventional blasting methods?

In conventional methods, explosives are placed uniformly within the blasting hole. However, with an air deck, air pockets are placed between layers of explosives. This creates a gap, or “deck,” that allows for greater energy expansion during detonation. The result is higher blasting efficiency and reduced negative environmental impact.

Anyone working in the mining industry naturally wants to maximize profits. By implementing air decks and utilizing cutting-edge products like MTi GROUP’s Blastbag™, users can achieve this goal. These benefits impact not only the economy but also worker safety and the environment.
