Cable bolt technology to improve safety

 
Mining equipment and services provider Sandvik Mining and Rock Technology continues to set the pace in underground mining with the launch of its rock-reinforcement cable bolter with automated one-hole drilling designed to improve safety and productivity. The Sandvik DS221L will significantly improve safety in mines by removing operators from the danger zone and providing immediate and active reinforcement on hanging walls when cable bolts are installed. This means the rock is already secured when the cable bolt is attached and mining can safely continue underneath areas where the grouting – which protects the bolts from corrosion – cures and hardens.
