The rugged and portable Powder
Monkey, a pneumaticaly pressurized tank, has been used in the mining
industry for over fifty years.
The Airplaco Powder
Monkey is the mining industry solution for loading AN-FO (Ammonium
Nitrate and Fuel Oil) into horizontal or vertical bore holes.
Simplified operator controls and heavy-duty pressure vessel
construction keep the Powder Monkey working efficiently in the
toughest conditions. This type of machine is also referred to as an
“AN-FO loader,” “ANFO pot,” or “pressure vessel.
The Powder Monkey is designed with tank sizes ranging from 1.5 to 50
cubic feet capacities. As an example, the model PM-6 consists of a
six cubic feet (.17 cubic meters) capacity tank. A unit this size
holds approximately 300 pounds (136 kg) of AN-FO, stands 60” (1.52
m) high and weighs approximately 300 pounds (.17 cubic meters) when
empty. The operating output of this unit on a continuous basis is
approximately 3 ½ tons (3,175 kg) per hour.
