Revolution in Mining: PBM Plasma Blasting Machine and Sormak Company's Pioneering

The mining industry is constantly searching for more efficient, safer, and more environmentally friendly ways to extract valuable materials. In today's world, this need has led to the emergence of new and advanced technologies, one of the most prominent of which is the Plasma Blast Machine (PBM). This device, developed by the scientific-industrial group

Sormak, is a new method based on the use of plasma and electrical energy discharge for ore extraction in open-pit and underground mines. Considering the high volume and speed of extraction and significant economic savings, this technology can soon replace traditional mining methods and help the sustainable development of mining companies.

How does plasma blasting technology work?

Plasma blasting technology has a completely different mechanism than traditional explosives. In this method, electrical energy amplified by a high-voltage capacitor bank is transferred through cables to special cartridges. Inside these cartridges, there is a special electrolyte solution, the knowledge of which is held by Sormak Company. With the discharge of energy, a plasma channel is formed in the blast holes, which creates a very strong shock wave with a pressure of several tens of gigapascals. This shock wave causes micro-cracks in the rock, and the minerals are quickly separated from the body. The most important point in this process is that it is controlled and does not use any explosives.

Competitive Advantages of PBM over Explosives

The plasma blasting machine has numerous advantages over traditional methods based on explosives, making it an ideal solution.

  • Safety and Health: The use of this device significantly reduces human and environmental hazards. Unlike dynamite or TNT, which produce toxic gases such as nitrogen and oxygen, plasma blasting does not release any toxic gases. Also, the process of storing and warehousing materials is safe and easy, and hazards such as fault stimulation are completely eliminated.
  • High Controllability: The blast wave in the plasma method is pulsed and fully controllable. This shock wave releases only 20% of the energy as gas pressure. This makes the rock throwing much less and at a distance of less than 10 meters compared to traditional methods, which have a lot of throwing.
  • Efficiency and Speed: Plasma blasting releases much higher energy than explosives. The energy of each kilogram of material consumed in plasma is 20 megajoules, while this amount for dynamite, ANFO, and TNT is only between 3 and 7 megajoules. This high efficiency significantly increases the extraction speed.
  • Ease and Savings: Unlike traditional methods, the use of PBM does not require strict permits and is very cost-effective. In addition, the device has protective shields that prevent the potential effects of the destruction process.

Diverse Applications Beyond Mines

The plasma blasting machine is not limited to applications in mines and has extensive capabilities. Its applications include:

  • Tunneling Operations: This device is able to increase the rate of progress up to 5 times that of traditional methods.
  • Crushing Stone Boulders: Used to crush large rocks from mining explosions into smaller pieces.
  • Controlled Demolition: It is used to break concrete foundations of buildings inside the city or to load building parts in difficult areas and during earthquakes, in a completely controlled manner.

Sormak Company, a Pioneer in Indigenous Technology

Regarding the plasma blasting machine, it can be said that this technology, with this mechanism and range of applications, has been developed and commercialized for the first time not only in Iran but also in the world. The knowledge-based company Sadra Atieh Mahour, with the trade name SAM Hightech, which owns the intellectual property in the country based on patent registration certificate number 002662 A / 92, is recognized as the only manufacturer of this device in Iran. In addition, the intellectual property of this product has also been registered internationally with number PCT/IB2021/059159, which emphasizes the originality and global value of this technology.

In conclusion...

The PBM plasma blasting machine is a major leap in the mining and controlled demolition industry. With advantages such as reduced risks, environmental protection, increased speed and efficiency, this technology offers a new and sustainable solution. Sormak Company's pioneering in the development and production of this device demonstrates the domestic capability and innovation in reaching global standards and beyond, and it is hoped that this technology will soon play a significant role in the development of mines and construction projects in Iran and the world.
