Abstract

Non-electric detonator has been used in underground excavations because of its strong resistance against electric impacts. However, electric detonator is often used to initiate the non-electric detonator instead of using an exclusive non-electric blasting machine due to economical reason. Spark Trigger is introduced as a solution of unexpected explosive hazard from using an electric detonator as an initiator of non-electric system. Since Spark Trigger System does not need expensive tube and no plastic waste is left, this system is proved to be more economical and eco-friendly initiate system than the standard non-electric initiating system.
