Underground Charging and Blasting Vehicles RTCh (Ruda Truck Charging)

The RTCH underground charging and blasting vehicles are provided for production, transportation and mechanized charging the drilled blasting holes with the emulsion-type explosive which is made directly at the mine face by mixing few neutral components. The explosive is produced and charged by means of the modular mixing and charging unit.

The RTCh vehicle is dedicated to underground galleries being 2,5 up to 7 m high and minimum 3,5 m wide. It is used to charge drilled holes 30 up to 50 m long using the charging hose with 19 – 32 mm in diameter. It’s provided for transportation of 2 workers (1 operator + 1 blasting officer), along with the mixing – charging module of 3 cu.m capacity.
These charging and blasting vehicles are made for non-coal and non-methane underground mines.

The operator cabins are made according to the highest safety standards meeting the 60kJ FOPS with optional air-conditioning and filtration. They are equipped to work in extremely tough environmental conditions, having excellent tramming features thanks to big attack angles, undercarriage clearance and the main hinge of two degrees of freedom (no cradle). Their classic power train is composed of the diesel engine, torque converter, transmission and axles with built-in multi-plate brakes.

The vehicles are available in different versions adapted to specific requirements of the customers.

The blasting operator’s control panel is placed in the FOPS60kJ safe cabin. The operator, despite the low overall size of the machine, has a comfortable seat for comfortable work throughout the entire shift.

The unique, patented solution enables easy service access to the engine. Optionally, SWS-RTB is equipped with air-conditioned cabins.

The intuitive remote control of the boom is standard equipment. The entire device is protected by an Ansul fire extinguishing system
