HotShot - an electronic detonator system that is simple to use

摘要

HotShot - described as the world's first auto-programmable electronic detonator system - is manufactured in South Africa by DetNet and marketed in the UK, with full technical and training support, by Exchem Explosives. HotShot offers all the advantages of other electronic detonator systems, such as: delay accuracy, giving improvements in fragmentation and face conditions along with the potential to deliver greatly enhanced vibration control; and two-way communication, resulting in enhanced safety as a full health check is undertaken for each detonator prior to the blast, thereby reducing the chances of misfires.
