MicroTrap™ VOD/Data Recorder

If you want to profile the VOD continuously along the explosives columns in multiple blastholes, along an explosives sample, or determine the delay times between blastholes, the most affordable and easiest to use recorder is the MicroTrap™ VOD/Data Recorder. It is the World's most popular VOD recorder and can be optionally extended to record any sensor that outputs ±10 V DC voltage such as pressure sensors and accelerometers.

FOR EXPLOSIVES CONSUMERS

You are paying for explosives and delay detonators to provide you with the energy and timing your blasts need under your specific blasting conditions. The MicroTrap™ VOD/Data Recorder is used by mines and quarries to perform spot checks of explosives and detonator delay time performance during blasts to compare the actual VOD and delay time results to the specifications published by the explosives manufacturer.

FOR EXPLOSIVES MANUFACTURERS

Your customers depend on you for your explosives and detonators. At the customer's blast site the MicroTrap™ VOD/Data Recorder is used by your technical service representative to document the VOD performance of the explosives and delay times of the delay detonators being sold to the customer. At explosives plants, the MicroTrap™ VOD/Data Recorder is used as part of the quality control process to test VOD, airblast overpressure, or underwater pressure of samples of explosives including cartridges, boosters, detonating cord, bulk explosives of all types, and military explosives.
