The Micro Blaster is a safe, fast and economical system for cracking and breaking rock, boulders and outcrops. The system uses a special cartridge which is placed in a 5/16 inch diameter hole, drilled to a depth of 10-30 cm in the material being broken. The Micro-Blaster is then placed in the hole and on top of the cartridge. The user then triggers the Micro-Blaster from a safe location dictated by the air hoses, each 25 ft long. Because the loads are based on propellant technology, special blasting licenses are not required. For portability, holes for the Micro-Blaster system can be completed using small lightweight battery powered rotary hammer-drills. The small size of the Micro-Blaster system allows its use in any location. it is safe to be transported by helicopter and I can fit the whole operation in a backpack if needed. Capable of breaking rock or masonry of almost any size by successive blasts, the Micro-Blaster does its job with almost no fly-rock. Where a concern exists, fly-rock can be completely eliminated by covering materials to be cracked with light mats.
