OPTIMIZATION OF PNEUMATIC METHOD OF WELL LOADING
Two of the main problems in pneumatic loading of wells is to pro- vide a high level of staff security and to ensure the stability of the pneumatic loader parameters. The use of a pneumatic charger based on the organization of movement of materials relying on highly concentrated streams of aero mixture will decrease the aris- ing static electricity and reduce dust pollution in the working area. Pneumatic loading of wells and boreholes with bulk explosives is currently the only mechanized method and, therefore, increasing the level of explosion safety is an urgent task.
