Innovative technologies and outstanding product quality enable the safest ground support solutions, but even the best products also require correct and complete installation to deliver full functionality.
Sandvik’s new MD/MDX Peg Bolt features a peg component in the form of a plastic disc installed beneath the ID tab, providing an easily visible and long-lasting indication of correct and complete bolt installation. When the bolt is rotated (left hand) to the required 350-450 Nm torque, the peg protrudes through the ID tab and remains clearly visible even after subsequent blasting cycles.
“Safety is always a key focus for underground work,” said Bradley Darlington, Research & Development Engineer – Bolting at Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions. “The new MD/MDX Peg Bolt now offers improved safety and peace of mind with the easily visible and long lasting peg showing correct and complete bolt installation.”
