The DriftShot™ Starter is an electronically initiated detonator intended for the remote firing of detonating cord, generally from the BlastWeb Centralised Blasting System.
Efficiency and Flexibility
DRIFTSHOT Starter detonator has a detonator strength of No.12 and detonates stronger than conventionally used detonators. It can be programmed for a certain timing from the blast equipment or the handheld terminal, and it can provide flexibility in case of multiple shots.
Safety
In general, electronic detonators are specially designed to withstand electrostatic discharge and currents caused by voltage triggers. In addition, DRIFTSHOT Starter can only be fired with the smart key application and the coded signal series protected by a password. This structure provides a high level of blast safety and eliminates the possibility of an unplanned explosion.
User Friendly
DRIFTSHOT Starter is housed in a plastic block. After inserting the detonation cord, the block can be locked, which prevents any connection break. At the other end of the detonator, there is a transparent plastic connector that can be easily opened and closed with one hand. The transparent nature of this connector which is locked on the harness wire, allows the harness wire to be visually inspected. This way the user can better confirm that the correct connection has been made. There is a waterproof transparent gel pad inside the connector that limits water and moisture ingress during use.
