Abstract: Extensive engineering experience accumulated at AZOTTECH helps the company to develop and implement new types of equipment. In conditions when capital construction and infrastructure development are not possible in hard-to-reach areas of the country, this equipment provides mobility and availability in mining operations. This article presents a new type of equipment for preparation of non-explosive components of blasting compounds, i.e. a modular mobile plant or a mini-plant. The technological process and the main associated equipment are described. Calculation of efficient fuel consumption for autonomous heat and power supply is made. Recommendations on the optimal operation modes for this type of equipment with the distribution of the workload per the main process operations are provided. The mini-plant can be optimized both in terms of cost parameters, and customer process conditions. Its efficiency is on the same level with that of a modular plant for preparation of non-explosive components of blasting compounds. The advantages of a mobile plant offer more application possibilities in any mining conditions. The use of mini-plants will help not only large operations, but also small service companies to increase their competitiveness and reduce costs when planning blasting operations already at the beginning of the construction phase of hazardous production facilities, and in certain cases to avoid construction of large-size complexes.
