EC3 EMULSION CHARGER

The MacLean Advantage:

A cost effective and highly productive solution for delivering high-explosive emulsion to blast holes. The EC3 is specifically designed to the exacting standards necessary for the transport and pumping of bulk emulsion in the underground work environment. The bulk pumping system can also be configured as a cassette package for easy removal when doing preventative maintenance or repairs.
