The above capacities are estimates
based on liquid filled calculations and may vary from actual AN-FO
loading capacities. For reference, 50 pounds AN-FO occupies
approximately one cubic foot. The specifications are subject to
change. The rugged and portable
Powder Monkey ANFO loader has been used in the mining industry for
over fifty years.
The Airplaco Powder Monkey is the mining industry solution for
loading AN-FO (Ammonium Nitrate and Fuel Oil) into horizontal or
vertical bore holes. Simplified operator controls and heavy-duty
pressure vessel construction keep the Powder Monkey working
efficiently in the toughest conditions. This type of machine, a
pressurized pneumatic tank, is referred to as an “AN-FO loader,”
“ANFO pot,” or “pressure vessel.
The Powder Monkey is designed with tank sizes ranging from 1.5 to 50
cubic feet capacities. As an example, the model PM-6 consists of a
six cubic feet (.17 cubic meters) capacity tank. A unit this size
holds approximately 300 pounds (136 kg) of AN-FO, stands 60” (1.52
m) high and weighs approximately 300 pounds (.17 cubic meters) when
empty. The operating output of this unit on a continuous basis is
approximately 3 ½ tons (3,175 kg) per hour.
ASME & ASTM certified production facility
Available in carbon steel or stainless steel plumbing assembly
Standard sizes available from 1.5 cu. ft. to 50 cu. ft.
Custom sizes and designs available in 18, 24,
36 and 42 in. diameters
Optional two-way air / material valve allows convenient use of
either AN-FO or air for bore hole cleaning
Available accessories include remote control,
AN-FO hose, couplings and ejector nozzle |
