In the competitive and demanding field of quarrying, the efficiency and safety of rock blasting methods are paramount. Traditional explosives have been the mainstay for decades, enabling the effective fragmentation of rock masses. However, advancements in technology have introduced the Liquid Oxygen Rock Blasting System, a revolutionary alternative that not only matches but often surpasses traditional explosives in both performance and safety. This article explores the application of Liquid Oxygen Rock Blasting Systems in quarry operations, highlighting their advantages over conventional explosives and addressing the evolving needs of the industry.

Carbon dioxide blasting offers a safer, non‑explosive alternative to conventional rock blasting. The system pressurizes a tube with liquid CO2 (5–9 MPa); an electric heating charge instantaneously vaporizes it, expanding ~600× to generate a >300 MPa shock that fractures rock along natural cracks. Carbon dioxide blasting is low‑emission, reduces vibration and toxic gases, uses reusable tubes and replaceable heat charges, and enables controlled, efficient pre‑cracking for mining and tunneling.
