Available from Ideal Blasting
The BEX Anoloder is a compact, high-performance venturi / pneumatic jet ANFO loader designed for fast, high-density loading in small to medium boreholes. Powered by compressed air, this lightweight unit is engineered for true one-man operation, making it ideal for mining, quarrying, and blasting operations where speed, reliability, and simplicity matter.
Using a rapidly moving air stream, the BEX Anoloder draws ANFO from the hopper and delivers it through an anti-static loading hose at high velocity. This action fractures the prills on impact, resulting in dense, uniform ANFO loading that helps reduce misfires, improve fragmentation, and lower overall blasting costs. Boreholes can be loaded in any orientation, including vertical up-holes.
Designed and manufactured in Canada, the BEX Anoloder is a perfect modern replacement for obsolete Penberthy loaders, offering improved performance with minimal maintenance and no field adjustments required
