Both our manual and automatic models of anfo tank loaders are built with 99% stainless steel. This extends the life span of the loader in harsh mining conditions.
Manual Anfo Tank Loader:
This model of charger consists of a 125 lbs capacity stainless steel pressure vessel, with manual operated closure. Each vessel is designed, registered, manufactured, tested and certified to the latest edition of the “A.S.M.E. code, section VIII” Vessels also meet the requirements of the O.H.S.A. and regulations for Mines and Mining Plants, PART VI “ EXPLOSIVES”. Each vessel is bolted to a three legged stainless steel stand.
Automatic Anfo Tank Loader:
Our remote operation valve package allows for increased productivity, and ease of operation.
Both the drill hole flushing and loading are controlled by the operator’s belt mounted 4 position valve. A pneumatically controlled 1-1/2” ball valve controls product feed into the fluidizing stream of air. A manual screw located on the bottom of the feed valve allows adjustment from full open to 60%. Fluidizing and Flushing air volume may be adjusted and set with a manual ball valve mounted on the charger. The operator may select the fluidizing air without activating the feed valve. This allows two selectable air volumes for flushing holes. The lower volume / pressure fluidizing air may be selected to start the flushing operation then finishing with the higher pressure / volume flushing air. Thus reducing the huge gush of water from the hole at the start.
A stainless steel manifold provides a compact package with long life operation. A manifold type of pressure regulator is mounted to the end of the manifold, used to adjust the tank and fluidizing pressure. A check valve located inside the manifold prevents the blow back of product into the regulator.
All fittings where possible are stainless steel. The pilot circuit air is ¼” OD plastic tubing with “Push to Connect” type fittings. All others are of the hose barb design. The hose connecting the remote control rotary hand valve is 25 ft long and houses three small pilot lines. The hand valve blocks the flow of air in the small pilot hose causing the selected function to activate.

LOADING HOSE
The loading hose is quickly connected to both loader styles using a cam and groove connector. The AN-FO Charger uses a semi-conductive loading hose with an inside diameter of 5/8, 3/4, or 1”. Hose and hose connector are purchased separately.
Standard length is 200 ft. The hose can be supplied in any desired length to suit the depth of the borehole. Great care should be taken to avoid kinking and flattening of hose during use, and for storage it should be coiled to a diameter of not less than 6 feet (1.8 m).
