Hypex Bio Explosives Technology

Last week, the Hypex Bio Explosives Technology team completed a large-scale surface trial series in partnership with Verdalskalk AS, Norway. The aim of the trials was to demonstrate that Hypex HPE technology can act as a direct replacement for traditional ammonium nitrate emulsion. The trials were successfully completed, proving that not only can Hypex HPE fully replace the traditional product, but it also achieved optimal results with lower powder factors (this blast used a powder factor of around 0.3). Further work to optimize the blasts is likely to result in even better energy efficiency. We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the Verdalskalk team in Tromsdalen and to all the engaged and committed Hypex Bio colleagues. Thank you all! #sustainablemining #hypexbio #verdalskalk #mining #innovation

BREAKTHROUGH: Last Friday, the first breakthrough blast was conducted at the Implenia Högdalsdepå project. This blast is notable not only for its symbolic importance in marking the completion of the tunnel blasting for one of the tunnel sections but also because it represents the 100th blast of HPE carried out in this project. As always, we would like to thank and congratulate all colleagues and Implenia staff involved in this successful project. We look forward to continue working in the remaining tunnel and to many more breakthrough blasts in the future. Thank you all! #implenia #hypexbio #tunneling #partnership #sustainableconstruction

Yesterday, the formal inauguration of the Hypex Bio Explosives Technology emulsion plant took place at the Boliden Kankberg mine in Skellefteå, Sweden. This now operationally ready facility represents a major step forward in the implementation and rollout process of Hypex Bio's nitrate-free explosives technology and is also a key deliverable achieved through the focused and committed collaboration between Boliden and Hypex Bio. The commercialization of Hypex HPE explosives technology signifies a credible industrial shift toward sustainable drilling and blasting practices, a key factor in enabling the green transition of the global mining industry. At Hypex Bio, we would like to once again extend our sincere appreciation and gratitude to all the Boliden staff and personnel with whom we interact daily. This tremendous industrial breakthrough has been made possible only by this successful partnership. Thank you all! #greentransition #hypexbio #boliden #partnership #sustainability

MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH: Last week, the Hypex Bio team, in partnership with Franzefoss and Verdalskalk, conducted the world’s first MEMU-charged, full HPE surface blast. This historic event marks a significant milestone in our long journey of technological development, enabling the chemical and mechanical application of the nitrate- and ammonia-free Hypex bulk solution in large-diameter surface holes. Twelve months of intensive development and trials culminated in excellent results, with 50,000 tons of limestone being blasted. This achievement underscores the technological shift that Hypex HPE represents:  We can, and will, supply the future of sustainable commercial explosives. This success would not have been possible without the tremendous efforts and dedication of the Hypex Bio and Verdalskalk teams. We would especially like to extend our sincere gratitude to Stefan Nilsson, Vegard Strandvik, Torbjørn Byvold, Espen Tangen Tron Nytrøen, and Tim Hunt. #hypexbio #innovation #sustainablemining #greentransition #alternative #explosives

MILESTONE REACHED: Over the past two weeks, Hypex Bio, in partnership with Swiss SSE Group, commissioned and launched the first Hypex HPE production plant at the SSE facility in Gamsen, Switzerland. A full, state-of-the-art, high-capacity production plant, along with an advanced tank farm, was successfully commissioned. In addition, underground charging systems were calibrated and function-tested in an initial blast. We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to the project teams on both sides for their professionalism, dedication, and hard work throughout this complex project. Here at Hypex, we also want to express our gratitude to the SSE Group for their values, belief, and trust in the Hypex organization. We will indeed grow together! #sse #hypexbio #partnership #alternative #explosives #mining #construction

Leaving the Swedish summer vacation period behind us, we are now back in the office in full force, kicking off our projects with a flying start. The Hypex Bio journey is accelerating, and the coming months will be very busy as we continue to engage with our partners to ensure the successful national and international rollout of our technology. In parallel, we are expanding our organization with the goal of achieving over 300% personel growth this year. We want to extend our gratitude to all colleagues and partners who are working so hard to ensure our success. Thank you! #hypexbio #innovation #alternative #explosives #scaleup

The global mining and construction industry is accelerating its commitment to sustainability throughout the value chain, driven by a widespread realization that the future of the industry lies in ambitious stewardship of environmental and social responsibilities. At Hypex Bio, we are delighted to be part of this significant transformative journey and to have the opportunity to work with and assist our partners who share our sustainability values and ambitions. We are, therefore, very proud of and committed to our partnership with South Africa-based BME, which will integrate the Hypex Bio nitrate-free HPE platform into their already robust platform. The partnership between our companies will further accelerate the offering of nitrate-free and sustainable explosives alternatives to the global mining industry. The green focus of BME was discussed by Mr. Ramesh Dhoorgapersadh, BME’s General Manager, in this article: https://lnkd.in/dPcihXvK   #bme #omnia #hypexbio #sustainablemining #innovation

As we wind down for the Scandinavian vacation period, we would like to share another significant milestone: the completion of our first surface charging unit system (MEMU). The finalization of this engineering project marks a crucial step for Hypex Bio's expansion into the surface market. We are looking forward to supplying many sustainable and nitrate-free surface blasts starting this fall. As always, this achievement was made possible by the dedication and expertise of our teams and partners. Thank you to everyone involved! #hypexbio #innovation #sustainability #alternative #explosives
