An all new underground stemming solution.
SHOCKWAVE Gel Technologies brings underground mining a stemming solution that far outperforms all current underground stemming options.
With an understanding of the unique challenges presented by mining underground, SHOCKWAVE has developed STEMGEL SUB T™ hydrogel stem and custom dosing equipment specifically designed to make underground blasting safer and more time and cost efficient, all while consistently producing a superior and better controlled result.
Stemming that holds in vertical holes
STEMGEL SUB T™ is a concentrated liquid reagent that is combined with water to form a hydrogel stem deck that couples to the explosive material and hole walls.
Setting in seconds, a SUB T™ stem deck will hold up to 50kg of its own weight in an overhead vertical hole.
Underground dosing equipment
SUB T™ can be loaded into underground blast holes from pre-packaged, ready-to-use cartridges using the custom-designed hand-held pneumatic StemGun, or pumped hose-in-hose from modified powered GELDRIVES™ fitted with hose pushers, specifically for underground applications.
