HAMMERHEAD SHOCK TUBE
INITIATOR
The Hammerhead Shock (Signal) Tube Initiator quickly and easily starts
one or two lead-in lines under demanding conditions or in harsh environments.
The Hammerhead is handheld and uses a shot shell primer to initiate one
or two shock tube lead in lines simultaneously. The unit is fired by striking
the top part, driving the firing pin into the shot shell primer.
FEATURES OF THE HAMMERHEAD INITIATOR
The Hammerhead Initiator has a number of advantages over other devices;
- Improved safety – there is no need to cut the shock tube and
a passive safety latch prevents accidental firing.
- The shock tube is firmly gripped by the Hammerhead.
- The Hammerhead can initiate one or two shock tube lead in lines simultaneously.
- The unit is hand held – it can be fired from boats, on any
type of ground or snow.
- The shock tube is only cut deep inside the unit, reducing the risk
of contamination from moisture or dirt.
- The Hammerhead initiates both ends (detonator and tail) of the shock
tube eliminating explosive waste issues.
- The shot shell primer can be quickly inserted and easily removed
with no need to unscrew or separate the unit.
- The unit is compact and can easily be slipped into a pocket so the
Shotfirer is always in control of the device.
