SAFE-DISTANCE BLAST INITIATION

RockLok Airdeck

Airdecking plugs engineered for better energy distribution and stemming retention in the blast hole.

High-performance airdecking devices engineered to optimize detonation pressure, reduce explosive consumption (powder factor) by up to 25%, and prevent premature stemming ejection in open-pit mining benches, tunneling, and quarry excavations across Indonesia.

RockLok Airdeck
ENGINEERING ADVANTAGES

Calculated Explosive Confinement

Rigid lab benchmarks and real quarry blast trials demonstrate repeatable improvements in blasting physics and heave predictability.

01

Optimal Shockwave Reflection

Creates an engineered air cavity that forces repeated shockwave reflections against borehole rock faces before gas venting, intensifying micro-fractures.

02

Up to 25% PF Reduction

Replaces high-cost bulk emulsion or ANFO columns in dead zones without sacrificing fragmentation velocity or shovel digging ease.

03

Stemming Retention & Safety

The high-grip perimeter wedges firmly into rock strata, preventing the stemming aggregate from bridging or discharging into the open air as flyrock.

04

Vibration & PPV Damping

Dampens sudden peak explosive pressure curves, substantially lowering Peak Particle Velocity (PPV) and air-blast decibels near residential perimeter zones.

FIELD OPERATIONAL STANDARD

4-Stage Rapid Deployment Procedure

CYCLE TIME: ~15 SECONDS PER HOLE

01

Depth Sounding & Verification

Verify total hole depth and water table presence using a calibrated weighted tape to confirm pre-calculated air deck placement benchmarks.

02

RockLok Tethered Lowering

Fasten the tag line to the ergonomic top loop of the RockLok unit and smoothly lower down the blast hole axis to the designated deck elevation.

03

Mechanical Self-Locking

Slight tug on tag line activates high-friction flexible outer fins, jamming securely against rock borehole contours to create an immediate gas seal.

04

Explosive / Stemming Loading

Immediately backfill crushed aggregate stemming or upper emulsion deck. Zero curing wait, allowing the loading truck to maintain rhythm without stops.
