BLASTBAG™ SOLO is the most used gasbag of its kind in the world for quick and safe blasthole plugging. It is a single-use, reliable BLASTBAG ™ used to plug blast holes, hold an air deck, or block off a void. Some crews call it a gas bag. It comes ready to go with a built-in aerosol can. The can uses non-flammable, non-toxic gas and has a 2-speed actuator, so you can inflate it slow or fast depending on the job.

Inside the outer bag are two sealed bladders. They stay airtight and grip the borehole wall once the gas starts flowing. This helps the bag stay in place, even in wet or broken ground.

Each unit comes with a length of string, so you can lower it to depth and control it while it inflates. Once it grabs the hole wall, you can let it finish inflating and move to the next hole. It works the same in surface or underground sites.

Use it when you need a quick, clean plug. Use it when you need a steady air deck. And use it when you need to shut off a void before loading.

What is a blastbag?

A blastbag is an inflatable plug used in a borehole to block off cracks, voids, and water or hold an air deck . The BLASTBAG™ SOLO does this with a built-in gas can and dual bladders. It uses a non-flammable aerosol and is initiated with the simple press of button.
