Micro-Blaster
Rock Removal System
Easy to use.
Micro-Blaster is simple to use and since it utilizes only a small primer, no special blasting licences are required, and there are no dangerous chemicals. This makes Micro-Blaster perfect for both casual users and experienced professionals.
The Micro-Blaster system uses a proprietary gas-producing cartridge to fracture rocks and masonry weighing up to several tons. The charge is loaded into a 5/16-inch diameter, 10-inch deep hole bored into the material to be broken by standard rotary hammer drills. A 25-foot lanyard or hose remotely actuates the small explosion. The gas burns rapidly but only when contained within the material to be cracked. As soon as the rock cracks, the pressure is released, and the burn rate drops dramatically. This feature decreases danger from flying rock fragments, and virtually eliminates danger to surrounding structures from shock waves given the relatively slow propagation rate of the propellant contained within the cartridges. The Micro-Blaster system is lightweight (10 lbs) and inexpensive allowing it to substitute for the use of larger more expensive equipment.
Micro-Blaster is used by contractors, excavators, landscaper’s pool installers, masons, trench workers, rescue workers and other field workers to enable the efficient removal of boulders, concrete structures, and rock formations. Micro-Blaster tools are safe, easy to use when common sense and basic safety precautions are used. Micro-Blaster is designed to save time, labor and machinery costs for trench work, open excavations, and concrete demolition.
Micro-Blaster is a cost effective and affordable demolition system utilizing a fast burning proprietary gas-producing cartridge to crack rock and masonry. Micro-Blaster will deliver many years of worry free performance due to a minimal amount of moving parts associated with the assembly.
The Micro-Blaster I system operates remotely utilizing a 25 ft-cord connected to the trigger system to activate the firing mechanism, while the Micro-Blaster II system utilizes compressed air or easily attainable CO2 cartridges to activate the firing mechanism.
Micro-Blaster is operational in most any environment due to its low energy output. Vibrations and flyrock are virtually non existent making Micro-Blaster ideal for demolition in sensitive areas.
Micro-Blaster can be employed without the necessity for expensive large hole drilling systems, i.e., compressors and jack hammers. Micro-Blaster may be used in many instances where much costlier techniques are typically required, resulting in a considerable reduction of job costs and time.
The Micro-Blaster demolition system is ideal for all contactors and the tool rental market as well as the homeowner.
