Prime Explosives has expanded its fleet with the addition of a new Isuzu C Series Mobile Mixing Unit (MMU), commissioned by International Explosives Equipment Global. The MMU delivers enhanced on-site capability, with discharge rates of up to 100 kg/min for ANFO and 120 kg/min for emulsion. With a capacity of 5 tonnes of ammonium nitrate and 8 tonnes of emulsion, it can deliver up to 12 tonnes of PrimeX emulsion blend per load. This addition strengthens Prime's South Island operations, supporting increased demand and improving service delivery to customers across the region.
