A METHOD FOR CONTINUOUSLY PRODUCING EMULSION EXPLOSIVE BY EMULSIFICATION AND SENSITIZATION IN A STATIC STATE WITHOUT A LOADING PUMP

Abstract

A method continuously produces emulsion explosive by emulsification and sensitization in a static state without a loading pump. After the water phase and oil phase enters a static emulsifier for emulsification, the emulsion enters a static sensitization device; the sensitizer enters the static sensitization device through the sensitizer charging inlet and mixes with the emulsion in the static sensitization device. After emulsification and sensitization, the sensitized explosive directly enters an injection pipe for encapsulation. By adopting the static emulsifier and sensitization device, the explosive material storage amount is greatly reduced, and mechanical stirring and shearing for emulsification is avoided. Meanwhile, mechanical mixing for sensitization is omitted and replaced with full-static high-temperature sensitization, and the safety of sensitization is improved. The loading pump is omitted, and the sensitized emulsion directly enters the injection pipe, thus the risk points in the production process and the online explosive material storage amount are reduced.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

[0027] Please refer to FIG. 2, 5-stage emulsification is performed with a 5-stage emulsifier; the total-proportion of oil phase enters the start of the static emulsifier, and a first proportion of water phase from a first diverging port was sprayed out laterally at a certain speed through a first injector hole. The water phase hit against the oil phase, and their mixture goes through a first orifice plate, sprays out at a certain speed, and becomes a first coarse emulsion. The spray runs into and mixes with a second proportion of water phase running at a certain speed from a second injector hole, and their mixture goes through a second orifice plate, sprays out at certain speed, and becomes a second coarse emulsion. The spray runs into and mixes with a third proportion of water phase running at a certain speed from a third injector hole, and their mixture goes through a third orifice plate, sprays out at certain speed, and becomes a third coarse emulsion. The spray runs into and mixes with a fourth proportion of water phase running at a certain speed from a fourth injector hole, and their mixture goes through a fourth orifice plate, sprays out at certain speed, and becomes a fourth coarse emulsion. The spray runs into and mixes with a fifth proportion of water phase running at a certain speed from a fifth injector hole, and their mixture goes through a fifth orifice plate, sprays out at certain speed, and becomes a fifth coarse emulsion. The spray runs through the fine emulsification orifice plate, sprays out at a certain speed, and the emulsification process is completed.

[0028] The emulsion matrix then enters the static sensitization device, meanwhile, the sensitizer enters an emulsion chamber through a sensitizer charging inlet, at a speed of no less than 1 m/s, by means of a sensitizer injector hole located on a primary core. The matrix mixes with the sensitizer when going through a primary multi-orifice plate, and then is mixed to uniformity by going through a second multi-orifice plate and a third multi-orifice plate and so on. After uniformed mixed, the emulsion runs through the last multi-orifice plate of the static sensitization device to be finely emulsified in a static state, and then the emulsion enters an injection pipe of a heat sealing machine, or the emulsion enters a normal injection pipe without being finely emulsified in a static state. The injection pipe is wrapped in a cylindrical film where the emulsion is evenly filled. It is better to put the filled explosive material roll in an S-shape on a buffer machine with the help of a winding mechanism (this step can be skipped). The clipping machines installed and rotated on a rotary platform are used to guide the explosive material rolls and to sequentially complete sealing, cutting and tossing of the plastic explosive material rolls (other universal clipping and sealing machines can also be adopted). The explosive material rolls are then cooled down in cooling water. After the explosive is cooled, it is boxed, and then it is stored in a warehouse.
