Resin Bolting Overview

Minova Logo





Minova Australia has manufactured Lokset resin capsules since the 1960’s, being the leading supplier and innovator in this field for the past 3 decades. Resin bolting has grown significantly in the Australian and SE Asian metalliferous mining industries. Many of Australia's large metal mining operations now install resin grouted bolts, benefiting from the numerous advantages of the “single pass” system.

Associated with resin bolting are improvements in productivity, effective long term support, reduced overall costs and safety features which have enabled resin bolting to become the chosen long term reinforcement system in most underground mines. Development of new resin capsule & bolt technology has enabled resin bolting to become the “preferred” means of permanent support.

The successful introduction of the Jumbo mounted resin insertion system has made resin bolting more readily available to operations without a designated bolting rig. Remote insertion of resin bolted tendons eliminates the exposure of operators to the hazards associated with working under unsupported ground.

A highly successful international research and development program enables Minova to offer the most up to date products and systems available anywhere in the world.
