About AEL
Introduction
Introduction - AEL's product range and beyond
AEL Mining Services is proud to publish our product catalogue showcasing our product offering.
This is in line with positioning the group as an added value service provider. At AEL, we always aim to
go beyond the product offering to bring you a comprehensive range of services to produce optimum
mining productivity.
Enhanced customer focus drives us to bring you cutting edge technology and innovations from our
R&D team, which play a crucial role in the development of all our products. Hence you will notice the
adjustment of product categories and names. This is in line with our strategy to adopt the AEL name
as our master brand, with a product or service descriptor designating a category, and likewise, a
descriptor designating a specific product or service. So you will find that some of the brand names
that you are accustomed to are rebranded with AEL's name, product or service descriptor and an
alpha-numeric code as the specific product.
The rebranding of our products has rationalised our product range to ensure that only the best and latest offerings are
included. New names are given prominence and old names will appear in smalls after the new names in this edition.
Alongside the formulation of our products, the new AEL Product Catalogue has been put together with meticulous care, and
we hope that it is an invaluable reference tool for you.
With safety at the forefront of our product design focus, on behalf of the AEL management team, I would like to wish you a safe
and productive mining environment.

Surface Bulk Emulsions - SP200 Eco Series (Sensitised using Anfo)

SP200 Eco is an AN and CN based emulsion matrix specially formulated for hard rock blasting.It
is environmentally friendly as waste or recycled fuel is used in the oil phase. It is handled and
transported as an unsensitized product to mines and/or operational sites. The product is
charged in blast holes when sensitised (SP200 Eco) or blended with ANA and sensitised or with
Anfo mixed to various ratios (SP200 Eco Series) as outlined in the table below.
It is used in surface mining blasting. Its' water resistance is variable depending on

Underground Bulk Emulsions - UG100 Range

Underground bulk emulsion explosives consist of a base emulsion and sensitiser,
which are classified as non-detonable and non-explosive, respectively. UG100 is used in
development and stoping whereas UG100S is used primarily in up-hole/ring blasting but can
also be used in development. The suffix 'S' in UG100S infers the product is 'sticky', which
means it can effectively stick to the lining of blast holes, making it suitable for up-holes.
The suffix 'C' in UG100 C infers the product is customised as per specific site/customer
requirement/s.
These products are characterised as high Mining Method

strength denoted by the 100 in the name. Underground

Underground Bulk Emulsions - UG200 Range

Underground bulk emulsion explosives consist of a base emulsion and sensitiser,
which are classified as non-detonable and non-explosive, respectively. UG200 is used in
development whereas UG200S is used primarily in up-hole/ring blasting but can also be used
in development. The suffix 'S' in UG200S infers the product is 'sticky', which means it can
effectively stick to the lining of blast holes, making it suitable for up-holes. The suffix 'C' infers
the product is customised on site to customer requirements.
These products are characterised as high stability and

Electronic Delay Detonators – QuickShot™ Plus

QuickShot Plus is a pre-programmed electronic initiation system for underground
mines, which allows customers the benefits seen when using accurate timing in
tunnelling applications.
QuickShot Plus is a plug-and-play system where user interaction can be kept to a
minimum.
QuickShot Plus offers simplified daisy chain linking, which enables easy visualisation
of the blast. In its simplest form customers simply connect QuickShot Plus detonators
in the order in which they want the round to fire. This makes the system easy to use
and easy to understand.
QuickShot Plus can be used as a stand alone system
or as part of a centralised blasting network. Mining Method
