E*STAR

Electronic Initiation System

E*STAR was developed by blasters, so you know it's going to be easy to use and reliable.

The new E*STAR connectors are just one way Austin Powder is working to ensure that our products contribute to safe, predictable and, optimized results.

  • Not limited by harsh conditions – works great in sun, water, cold, or even with mud or emulsion covered labels
  • Log detonators at any time – before connecting, before hole loading or after connecting to the bus line
  • Up to 1600 detonators viewed on one logger
  • Faster than direct contact logging or scanning bar codes

  • E*STAR

    • E - Electronic Initiation System
    • S - Safe
    • T - Testable, Tunable, Total Solution
    • A - Accurate, Affordable, Autonomous
    • R - Rugged, Reliable, ROI
  • E - ELECTRONIC INITIATION SYSTEM

    • ELECTRONIC INITIATION SYSTEM - The E*STAR system is a fit for purpose electronic detonator based blasting system for all blasting applications. It provides the highest level of quality, security, control, and precise timing to ensure compliant, consistent blasting results.
  • S- SAFE

    • SAFE - The E*STAR system is safe to use with electro static discharge immunity, radio frequency immunity, stray current and overvoltage immunity.
  • T - TESTABLE * TUNABLE * TOTAL SOLUTION

    • TESTABLE - Every detonator is tested multiple times at the production and factory level, then again multiple times at the blast site until it's fired.
    • TUNABLE - for any delay up to 20,000ms in 1ms increments.
    • TOTAL SOLUTION - includes planning, customized blast design, blast result and value added software throughout the mining process.
  • A - ACCURATE * AFFORDABLE * AUTONOMOUS

    • ACCURATE - Precise electronic timing for vibration and air blast reduction, and no out of sequence firing.
    • AFFORDABLE - E*STAR is THE affordable electronic detonator solution.
    • AUTONOMOUS - Once the firing commands are received by the detonators they become autonomous with NO risk of cut-offs.
  • R - RUGGED * RELIABLE * RETURN ON INVESTMENT

    • RUGGED - Fit for purpose downline options
    • RELIABLE - Industry-leading daisy chain connection method and exceptional leakage immunity.
    • RETURN ON INVESTMENT - Investing in electronic detonators yields many downstream benefits.

Why E * STAR Connectors are the best in the industry

  • Industry-leading double connections on both the leg wires and duplex bus line wires means each of these wires are staked twice
  • Innovative through-connector testing saves time as testing can occur without needing to open the connector
  • Color-coded connectors make it easy to identify wire types and leg wire lengths
  • Anti-slip friction grip is easy to use in all harsh conditions
  • Robust hinge is not susceptible to breakage in cold conditions or multiple uses
  • Enhanced sealant inside the connector ensures an environmental seal
  • Advanced design allows for a one-finger opening of the connector
  • The useful flat back was designed for writing delays or other information
  • Superior design is easy to use with winter gloves

Reasons to Use the E * STAR System

  • The detonator has a robust copper shell and high dynamic pressure resistance
  • Standard wire and heavy-duty wire both have an extra-long crimp plug for additional mechanical protection
  • Bus-line options include standard and heavy-duty
  • Color-coded connectors are user-friendly and suitable for all harsh conditions
  • Delay range options from 1 to 20,000 milliseconds
  • E * STAR Logger 2 allows for direct contact logging or touchless RFID logging each programming up to 1,600 dets
  • Remote firing available for additional safety and security
  • Digital Blast Machine can fire blasts reliably even with high levels of leakage present

E * STAR System Benefits

  • Highest level of safety and security on-site
  • Exceptional, industry-leading leakage tolerance
  • PPV / vibration reduction
  • Vibration frequency optimization
  • Fragmentation improvement
  • Processing cost reduction
  • Back break damage reduction
