wire rope blasting mats quotation

The wire rope blasting mat was invented and developed to protect lives and property during the turn of the century New York City 3rd Ave. subway project. The wire rope blasting mat made an immediate impact on the safety standards of blasting operations in high density urban areas. Wire rope blasting mats are the only blasting mat designed to vent gasses which give the blaster more control.

Wire rope blasting mats weigh an astonishing 16 pounds per square foot (65 kg/m). This means you are getting twice as many square feet per truck over rubber, while increasing safety and control. With today"s high fuel costs, this is a definite advantage in day to day operational cost.

Wire rope blasting mats are the most versatile and flexible units on the market today. This gives it the ability to adapt to any topography, face or blasting operation. Our wire rope blasting mats come complete with a built in bridle system that makes setting our blast mats simple.

Siby Mining and infrastructure is the prime blasting mats manufacturers in the country. A blasting mat is constructed of sliced-up rubber tires held together by ropes, wires, or chains. When explosives are detonated in places like quarries or building sites, blasting mats are employed. The mats are put over the blasting area to limit the explosion, reduce noise and dust, and prevent high-velocity rock shards known as fly rock from causing damage to nearby structures, persons, or the environment.

Blasting Mats are used to protect workers from the harmful effects of blasting. Blasting mats can be used in a variety of industrial settings. They can be used at construction sites, mines, and quarries. The main purpose of blasting mats is to prevent injuries by providing protection for workers who are near or around the blast site. Blasting mats may also be used to reduce noise levels in surrounding areas. This helps to protect the hearing of nearby residents and property owners. Finally, blasting mats can be used to control dust and debris during blasting operations.

Depending on the magnitude of the blast charge, the type of mat, and the degree of protection required, mats can be utilized singly or in layers. They can be hung from cranes or affixed to structures horizontally on the ground or vertically. The mats are frequently referred to as blasting curtains when used vertically.

Our design makes our mats flexible for better coverage.Mazzella Wire Rope Blasting Mats have been effectively serving the Blasting, Construction and Demolition industries for over 100 years.

Heavy duty mats fabricated from reclaimed automobile tire sections and steel ropes have been used for many years to cover rock blasting sites during the blasting process in order to reduce the risk of flying debris and the like. Such mats are very heavy and can be in sizes up to about 15 feet wide and 18 feet long. The larger sizes include many rows of old tire segments and the closer the segments are packed onto the steel rope the more effective the blasting mat will be. Traditionally such mats have been assembled manually. This is not only labour intensive, and hence expensive, but it is also extremely heavy and dirty work. Productivity per man is relatively low, and labour turnover is high.

There is a need, therefore, for a machine which will automatically build up the tire segments on the steel cables and compress the assembled sections to form the heavy blasting mat. Heretofore no such machine appears to have been developed.

In the apparatus of this invention there are provided a plurality of curved rigid steel rods 1, about 1" in diameter and arranged in spaced parallel longitudinal relationship to each other as shown in plan view in FIG. 1 and in front view in FIG. 2. Each rod has an upper end 2 (FIG. 2) which is free when in the "load" position and clamped when in the "unload" position as described in more detail hereinafter. The lower ends 3 of rods 1 are clamped when in the load position and free when in the unload position. The rods 1 are held in the "load position" at their lower ends in a heavy lower clamp comprising an open channel frame member 4 having a slide bar 5 hydraulically rammed therealong which locks the lower ends 3 in position. The lower clamp is supported on each side by a support stand 6 (FIG. 3) and a series of floor inserts 7 spaced therealong. Extending longitudinally and horizontally from the lower ends 3 of the rods 1, and coupled thereto by means of a flexible coupling 8 which generally comprises a short length of an open mesh plaited cable, the diameter of which expands in compression and decreases in tension, there are provided long steel cables 9 onto which the 120° tire segments 41 which are provided with two pre-punched holes 42 which form the blasting mat are eventually to be threaded. The cables 9 may be up to about 50 feet in length. The free ends of cables 9 may be clamped together with a lifting eye (not shown) or otherwise secured as required for lifting the finished mat.

In the load position the operators 51 grease the upper ends 2 of the rods with a rubber lubricant and thread 120° segments of tires which have been slit in two (as shown in FIG. 4) and of which is provided with a pre-drilled hole 42 at each end, over adjacent pairs of rods 1 in a predetermined pattern to ensure that the finished mat is securely locked together. For example, in the first row of segments to be placed, segments might be placed over rod numbers 1,2 then 3,4; 5,6; and so on. In row 2 segments might be placed over rod numbers 2,3; 4,5; 6,7 and so on. In row 3 segments might be placed over rod numbers 1,2; 2,3; 3,4; 4,5; 5,6 and so on across the entire width of the frame which may have up to about 30 rods. One loading pattern is shown schematically in FIG. 5. When some 10-15 rows have been loaded on the rods and they are substantially full, a hydraulically actuated rake plate 10, pivotally mounted on frames 11 at the end of arm 12 is lowered over the free ends of rods 1 to assume the position shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. It will be appreciated that in FIG. 3 only one rod 1 is actually illustrated in the interests of clarity. In fact a plurality of rods 1 extend across the entire frame at intervals of about 1 foot. When the rake plate 10 is in position on rods 1, the upper ends 2 of rods 1 are clamped by an upper clamp 13 which comprises an upper clamp support frame 14, a pair of upper clamp rest plates 15 which support a transverse channel member 16 in which a slider bar 17 slides relative to channel 16. Channel 16 and slider bar 17 are provided with a series of holes 18 in which the ends 2 of the rods 1 fit when the channel 16 and bar 17 are lowered down slide 19 in frames 14. When channel 16 and bar 17 engage the ends 2, bar 17 is moved laterally to firmly grip ends 2. The raising and lowering of the channel 16 and bar 17 is effected by a hydraulic cylinder (not shown) or by a conventional electric drive system. Similarly the relative movement of channel 16 and bar 17 can be effected hydraulically or electrically. With ends 2 firmly held the cylinder locking lower channel 4 and bar 5 in engagement with the lower ends 3 or rods 1 is actuated to release the lower ends. The lower channel 4 and bar 5 can then be raised hydraulically to clear the work area to a position adjacent plate 20. Cylinder 13 is then actuated to drive rake plate 10 arcuately down rods 1 and thus push the tire segments off rods 1 over flexible connector 8 and onto steel cables 9. When rods 1 are cleared of their load of tire segments, cylinder 13 is reversed to retract rake plate 10. The lower clamp 4,5 is re-engaged and upper clamp 13 is disengaged and withdrawn up slide 19, thus freeing ends 2 and allowing complete withdrawal of rake plate 10. The cycle can then be repeated. When the cables 8 are fully loaded and the segments pressed tight, they are released from flexible couplings 8 and the free ends are secured by clamping and/or welding and the finished blasting mat is then hauled away. New cables 9 are loaded onto couplings 8 and the production cycle repeated .

A blasting mat is a mat usually made of sliced-up rubber tire scrap bound together with ropes, cables and clamps. They are used during excavation/ rock blasting to contain the blast, prevent flying rocks and suppress dust

A blasting mat is a mat usually made of sliced-up rubber tires bound together with ropes, cables or chains. They are used during rock blasting to contain the blast, prevent flying rocks and suppress dust.

Blasting mats are used when explosives are detonated in places such as quarries or construction sites. The mats are placed over the blasting area to contain the blast, suppress noiseenvironment in proximity to the blast site.

Blasting mats are often used in combination with blasting blankets as an additional layer over the mats. The blankets are larger than the mats designed to retain the fragments that have managed to pass through the mat. Blasting blankets are used for both horizontal and vertical blasting.

Blasting mats made from used tires can serve a double purpose as road stabilizers, or road surface, in locations where roads leading to the blasting site are unstable or nonexistent,

A number of materials are used for making blasting mats and new materials with different properties are constantly being introduced into this field.old tires held together by steel cables, mats woven from manila rope or wire cables, logs or conveyor belts.wire netting can also be used.

Blasting mats made from rope woven on wires were first used during the construction of the IRT Third Avenue Line in New York City in the early 1900s. They were used to protect the surrounding buildings and were favored since they prevented fly rock but vented gasses.

Mats made from recycled tires can be fashioned in a number of ways depending on how the tires are cut. Some examples are tread mats, sidewall mats and mats from non-flattened sections of tires.

When charges are used to dig foxholes, an improvised blasting mat made from whole tires tied together with rope to reduce noise and fly rock, is recommended in the A Soldiers Handbook (United States). A tarp may also be used as a blasting blanket.

Over the years, a number of incidents with fatal outcomes have been caused by fly rock. In most of these, blasting mats were not used or they were placed over the blasting face in an incorrect manner.Cape Ray, Newfoundland and Labrador when a 7 kg (15 lb) fly rock travelled about 250 m (820 ft) from the blast site

Although designed to prevent accidents, as blasting mats weigh between 3,000 and 6,000 lb (1,400 and 2,700 kg), they have also caused injuries when falling on workers on construction sites.

Blasting mats must be thoroughly inspected before each use to ensure there are no blown out segments or broken cables, by a blaster. Blasting mats will deteriorate with each use to the point where they become ineffective for their intended purpose. Only trained experienced and adequately supervised crews should be used in the placement of these devices over a loaded shot. A common complaint is accidental breakage of bus wires, leg wires or pinching off the non electric tubes that may result in the misfire of the shot.
