COLLAR KEEPER® SYSTEM

Collar Keeper® System (CKS) is an innovation designed to protect the pre-conditioned section at the top of each blast bench from the moment the drill bit engages with the ground surface, through to the blasthole completion. This technology represents an exciting step change in managing blast hole quality and provides a unique solution for clients to a range of different blasting environments with global applications.
