Charmec SF 404/504 D(V)
Overview
Charmec SF 404 and 504 D(V) are our nimblest and most compact underground emulsion chargers, capable of operating in tunnel envelopes of less than 4 meters. They are tailored to meet the specific needs of both face and production charging in underground mines and tunnels.
The SF 404’s basket boom has one telescopic section, with a maximum face height of 6 meters, while the SF 504’s boom has two telescopic sections, providing greater face coverage with a maximum face height of 7.3 meters. Basket boom tram support is utilized to reduce strain and stress on the basket boom and to increase productivity.
The machines are equipped with a FOPS/ROPS cabin and can be fitted with a hydraulically driven compressor, eliminating the need for an external compressed air supply. They are available both as a carrier for an external emulsion kit and with the Normet ECM emulsion charging module.
We have gathered extensive expertise in underground charging from the launch of the first Normet charger in the 1970’s. Ever since, we have continuously developed our charging equipment and solidified our place as the world-leading manufacturer of underground explosives chargers.
