Dropline Inflation Hose

Durable, rigid dropline for BLASTBAG™ AERO and BLASTBALL™ deployment.
· SKU 01-988

MTi Groups thermoplastic Teflon-lined droplines are specifically designed for the underground environment and for use with BLASTBAG™ AERO and BLASTBALL. Made to fit an AERO Weight or AB-C Coupling on the end of it, these droplines are designed to take the tensile load of installation of a bag repeatedly. Crimps are positioned every 5m/10 ft to ensure to allow the depth to be recorded. The dropline is available in a range of sizes suited to any application.

TEFLON-LINED. CHEMICAL-RESISTANT.
Thermoplastic dropline
Benefits

Built for the bench.

Teflon-lined

Chemical-resistant inner liner — designed for direct emulsion and ANFO contact.

Thermoplastic

Flexes in cold, holds shape in heat. Built for production benches.

Built for every condition

Built for every condition.

Bulk loading

Pumped explosives need a dropline that doesn't react. Teflon lining is the standard.

When to pick each
Underground Inflation Hose Reel

Pick the UGHR when you want a complete air service unit with no assembly. Teflon-lined hose, pneumatic inflator/deflator, gauge to 35 PSI, anodized depth crimps, weighted AB-C coupling on the end. 50 m (164 ft) or 100 ft (30 m) hose options. Plug into mine air via ¼" BSP and you're ready. Working pressure 10 – 300 PSI — covers every BLASTBAG AERO and BLASTBALL spec. Best-in-class for production underground sites running daily air decks.

Inflation Assemblies

Pick the Inflation Assembly when you want the same kit as the UGHR but without the reel — three components pre-packaged at a common dropline length. Includes Dropline + Handheld Inflator + Weighted AB-C Coupling. Four lengths: 25 ft, 60 ft, 100 ft, and 50 m. Cheaper than the UGHR, simpler than building from parts, and field-portable.

Handheld Inflator

Pick the Handheld Inflator when you're working benches without service air at the hole, or you need to reposition a bag before final inflation. Stainless steel cage, Nitto fittings, gauge to 36 PSI, rated to 200 PSI max. Inflates and deflates. Pair with any Dropline Hose and AB-C Coupling to build a portable kit.

Dropline Inflation Hose

Pick a Dropline Hose when you need a specific length not covered by the standard kits, or you're replacing the hose on an existing setup. Teflon-lined thermoplastic, designed for repeated tensile loading from lowering inflated bags. Crimps every 5 m / 10 ft tell the operator exactly how deep the bag is. Sizes: 25 ft (5 m), 60 ft (18 m), 50 m (164 ft), 100 ft (30 m). All metals are stainless steel — explosives-compatible.

Inflation Coupling

Pick an Inflation Coupling when you need a replacement, a spare, or a full hose-end rebuild. The AB-C is MTi's patented snap-on connector — pushes onto the bag's air valve to inflate, pulls free under load to leave the inflated bag at depth. Two versions: AB-C Diamond Knurl (02-001, $114) is the coupling alone. The Complete Hose End Replacement (02-024, $409) is the whole end of the dropline — weight, ferrule, tail, nipple, and coupling — ready to swap onto a worn hose.

BLASTBAG™ AERO

The air-operated gas bag this kit serves. Compressed air, dual-bladder construction, snap-on AB-C coupling. Two SKUs cover 2.5" to 12.25" (64 – 311 mm). Underground production, air decking, uphole capping. See the BLASTBAGS collection for full positioning, sizing, and case studies.

BLASTBALL™

The wet-hole-rated air-inflated plug this kit also serves. Hermetic bladder with tire-strength nylon webbing. Three SKUs cover 2.5" to 8" (64 – 203 mm). Lower it through water, inflate to seal a breakthrough, crack, or void. See the Stemming Plugs collection for full positioning.
