Nxburst, making your rock and concrete breaking quieter, easier and more economical
If high explosive is too disruptive for your site, you can’t wait all day for expanding grout, or if running costs for your machinery are too high, then Nxburst is the product you are looking for. Nxburst brings the best elements of other rock and concrete breaking techniques together into one product. It is safe, quiet, portable, fast acting, easily transported and environmentally friendly.
Nxburst Cartridges
Nxburst cartridges are electrically fired self contained gas producing devices that break rock or concrete using gas pressure. Each cartridge comes pre-fitted with a static electricity safe igniter and wires for even greater ease of use.
It is easy to use, and though it’s not a high explosive, it is loaded in a very similar way.
First you drill a hole into the work and insert your cartridge.
Tightly stem the hole and connect your wires.
Now you are ready to fire.
How Nxburst Works
The Nxco cartridge technology is based on a non-detonating chemical compound enclosed in a cartridge which reacts quickly when ignited to produce high volumes of gas that mainly consists of nitrogen, carbon dioxide and steam.
The cartridge is confined in a drill hole by means of stemming and when ignited generates a large volume of gas. This gas enters into the micro fractures created by the percussion drilling process, natural faults and weaknesses of the rock, resulting in the rock splitting due to tensile stresses.
