Mining & Blasting Explosive Actuators

MiningPrecise detonator timing in demanding environments, improved efficiency and ease of use in the field were SDI's goals in developing an electronic detonator system.

State of the art electronics technology allows our customers to field highly reliable and cost effective electronic detonator products.

High volume, precision manufacturing combined with solid product support provides enhanced value when performance counts.

This technology is backed by SDI's history of innovation in aerospace and automotive standards. Our product team is ready to meet the toughest challenges.

In today's changing world of mining and blasting the "ease-of-use" factor in any electronic initiations system is foremost. On the bench, in the ditch, at the face, or inside the stope... No matter where you go, no matter where you blast, the procedure is always the same with SDI Powered detonators. Tell it. Arm it. Fire it. That's it. It's that simple.
