Dyno Nobel’s Navus Handheld Electronic Blasting System

In an industry where productivity and profitability go hand in hand, electronic detonators offer unmatched timing accuracy that gives mines and quarries enhanced control over fragmentation and overall blast results. However, for operations that conduct smaller blasts or don’t have the infrastructure to support large, centralized initiation systems, the benefits of advanced technology may seem out of reach.

Dyno Nobel’s Navus BlastingDyno Nobel’s Navus handheld electronic blasting system is designed to change that. Navus provides access to the uncompromising safety, reliability, and timing precision of electronic detonators in a lightweight, portable unit. Weighing just 600 grams (1.3 pounds), it can be carried anywhere on site to allow operations to adapt quickly and blast with confidence.

As mines and quarries shift from conventional electric or non-electric detonators, Navus supports Dyno Nobel’s full range of electronic detonators to make the transition simple and seamless. For operations that use NONEL rounds, Navus can be paired with Dyno Nobel’s DriftShot Starter. Unlike traditional electric detonators, DriftShot Starters eliminate stray currents, radiofrequency interference, and static discharge for improved safety and reliability.

Navus’s compact, rugged design makes it ideal for blasting where accuracy and proven safety are essential. As a primary device for daily blasting or a complementary tool to larger systems, Navus provides efficient, reliable blasting right in the palm of your hand.
