    The document discusses capped fuse systems used to initiate shock tube starters for underground mining. It describes the components, including a detonator encased in a plastic body, and specifications of different fuse lengths and their burning times. Benefits mentioned are secure attachment and transfer of shock energy to the tube. Recommendations are given for best initiation with an igniter cord.

    Shock Tube Starter


    Capped Fuse Systems

    A non-electric shocktube starter consisting of


    either a 1.2m long capped Durafuse assembly
    or a 2.1m long capped Stopefuse 290 assembly.
    The AEL shocktube starter is available in two
    product ranges. The first range is comprised of
    a red capped Stopefuse length packaged in a
    box containing 50 units. The second range
    comprises of 100 units of green capped Durafuse.
    A hollow polyethylene body (minidet tube) is
    fitted over the detonator and crimped over it
    with an aluminium ferrule.

    Technical Specifications Mining Method


    Appearance Underground
    The assemblies are constructed by crimping a slotted igniter Narrow Reef; Massive
    cord connector at one end and a 6D strength detonator at the Surface
    other end of the respective fuses. Opencast; Open Pit; Quarrying; Construction
    Application
    Benefits & Features As a starter for Shock Tube

    safe evacuation Stopefuse 1.2 Red 324s = 5 min 24s

    Packaging
    Features
    The detonator is encased in a plastic body Fuse type Units per Dimensions
    case (mm)
    The detonator and its crimp are kept waterproof by the
    Durafuse 100 300x270x575
    plastic body
    Stopefuse290 100 300x270x575
    The slot positions the receptor shock tube directly in the
    path of the detonator blast to optimise transfer of shock energy
