Dismantling and removing rock and concrete through explosives entails a suite of costs and hazards that place a substantial burden on all mining operations. In addition to noise and vibration, precise, high-skilled labour and expensive capital expenditure is required to perform this activity; a central part of the cost burden weighing on any operation. Neoferma Australia promises a revolution in mining through its Ecobust Expansive Controlled Demolition Agent, a technological innovation that works to perform complex demolition jobs in a safe and relatively “noise-free” manner.

Rammer has developed anti-blank firing which stops the unit working unless the piston is striking the tool. The Idle Blow Protection (IBP) is easily…
