PT. Batu Jaya Makmur is one of the mining companies that moves in the
field of andesit mining. The method used to mine it is by open mine method Side
Hill Type Quarry.
From the blasting activity done, obviously the fragment measured is than
60 cm ( 78,9%) and boulder that measured more than 60 cm is still quite a lot (
21,1%). The fragment that company wants is measured less than 60 cm that will
be marketted as boulder for building material. In the near future, it will be
established crushing plant unit in order to anticipate the market demand of the
material stones that tends to increase, where the fragmentation permitted to the
crushing plant is the fragmentation having 60 cm of its diameter.
The blasting geometry applied in the field today is burden 2.0 m, spacing
2.0 m, stemming 1.8 m, subdrilling 0.4 m. The blasting depth is 9,0 m and the
hight is 7.7 m. By that geometry it is gained the powder factor value reaching to
0.95 kg/m3 with the average stone volume for once blasting is 839,3 BCM or
average stone volume a day is 268,576 BCM/ a day.
From the result of stone volume , it is obtained from one blasting with the
budget assumption spent can be seen from the bombing and blasting budget that
is Rp.8.500/hour counted from the device use needed and equipment in the
production activity done. Therefore, the budget for one blasting spent in the field
is counted from the stone volume, and is obtained Rp.3.231.305, where as the
ovetically is about Rp. 3.655.662,00.
After it has been done the recovery using the mathematic measurement
of calvin j konya is obtained the blasting geometry that is : burden 2,03 m,
spacing 2,84 m, stemming 1,62 m, subdrilling 0,61 m, the depth of blasting hole
is 6,7 m and the height is 6,1. And by the geometry, it is obtained the powder
factor value of 0,59 kg/m3. From the recovery conducted it is gained that the
fragmentation is 85,5 %. This means that the boulder of 11,5 % meaning that the
blasting is considered good.
