Discharge Auger Movement
- A lifting ram will be fitted to the discharge auger to enable it to be raised and lower as needed
- A counterbalance valve will be fitted to this ram to prevent the auger from dropping in the event of a hydraulic hose failure
- Discharge auger will rotate approximately 270 degrees from its resting cradle located on the top of the AN bin
- A flexible tube will be supplied for connection to the end of the discharge auger so product can be directed out of the auger and into the blast hole
- Auger movement will be controlled by electric over hydraulic valves with a joystick located in the chassis cab for proportional movement of the discharge auger
- Electric controls will be provided in the cabin of the unit

Hydraulic Controls The hydraulic system is operated by a Kawasaki pressure compensated hydralic pump mounted with a driveline to a PTO with a minimum of 35 gallons of hydraulic oil per minute at 1800 RPM with a PTO with minimum ratio to the engine speed of 1:27 to a pressure relief valve installed in the valve bank to protect the system in the event of elevated pressure and is set to relieve at 2200 psi. A pressure filter will be installed on the pressure line for additional protection of the hydraulic system. A hydraulic cylinder raises and lowers the discharge auger.
The following ingredients will be proportionally controlled by the on board control panel and will be closed loop control so the operator does not have to adjust speed:
- AN Auger: Controlled to the speed of the delivery as set in the panel
- Fuel oil: Controlled as a percentage of fuel delivered in the mix
We will install Hawe proportional hydraulic valves which will have handles installed. Hawe valves do not require proportional on/off coils, so either coil is applicable to on/off or proportional operation. The handle on the valve allows your operators a means to manually turn on and off or reverse any of the hydraulic motors independently of the other motors in the system or independently of the control panel, from within the hydraulic bank (mounted on the fender of the unit on the driver's side) if required.
This system will be quoted with a piston pump and will be sized to discharge ANFO product at 300 kgs per minute.
AAMCOR Control Panel A Sauer Danfoss Custom Computer control panel (CAN software) will be installed in the cab of the chassis and will be shipped loose so we can install in the chassis (of your choice or one you supply to AAMCOR). This control panel will set any blend percentage of ANFO, any discharge rate up to 300 kgs per minute. There is an electronic GPI flow meter in the fuel discharge line that sends a signal to the processor for precise delivery of actual fuel that is flowing into the AN at 6%.
The display will have a calibration screen to input the AN and fuel (LBS/pulse) which will be used in the blend monitor screen. The run screen will have a section to input the amount of product to be delivered and at what rate it is to be delivered at. The monitor shall display whole and day total on the screen for AN and fuel.
This AAMCOR panel will also allow the operator to visually inspect and monitor the ingredients as follows:
- Manually start and stop the production and delivery of the explosive product
- Preset the desired weight of product to be delivered to the bore hole, display how much product remains to be delivered, and automatically stop production when the preset amount has been delivered
- Maintain cumulative totals of the weight of product and the weight of each ingredient that has been delivered (fuel also has its own display on the flow meter
- A joystick will control the up / down and rotation of the discharge auger from within the cab of the chassis
- Wireless remote controls can be added to any control system for remote operation of the mixing delivery system
