Use Swellex rock bolts for applications where higher yield and breaking strength are required. Swellex Premium line is engineered to provide safety and productivity in areas where stiff rock bolting is expected to work within its elastic range and to minimize the deformation in and around the excavation. Improved yield and breaking load values extend the use of well-known Swellex concept into applications where the design requires higher work load from a bolt. A special steel composition coupled with the inherent Swellex advantages offer perfect installation, immediate support on the entire length and an ideal bolt for demanding excavations.

Color plugs are designed to help differentiate the length of Swellex bolts once the bolts are installed in the excavation. When more than one length of Swellex bolts are used in the same excavation, color plugs are an easy and efficient way to perform quality control on the reinforcement system as they allow rapid identification of the bolt.
* Square plugs - for corrosion protected bolts
Steel sleevesWhen performing non-destructive sliding tests to estimate the specific anchorage capacity of Swellex bolts in a given rock type or rock mass conditions, it is customary to use steel sleeves passed over the profile to reduce the effective anchored length, thus enabling to slip out the bolt without failure. Atlas Copco can also provide those sleeves for the convenience of the customer.
These tests are done to verify that the rock bolt can provide the necessary retaining force to hold the rock in place.

Pressure assurance gaugeThe pressure gauge for quality assurance is a simple tool designed to be used by the operator to verify the pressure delivered by the pump. It is to be used at the beginning of the shift or at any time when there is doubt regarding the inflation pressure delivered to the Swellex.

Pull testerAtlas Copco Swellex products are the easiest to test for installation quality and random quality testing due to the origi-nal adapter that allows one to pull-test any Swellex bolt at anytime, without special set up during the bolt installation. Accordingly, new and old Swellex bolts can be tested with the same ease. Atlas Copco provides a complete pull tester set for the customer‘s convenience.
The Swellex pull-tester is designed to meet the highest demands on accuracy and portability that professional users in the mining and tunneling industry require on a measuring instrument of this type. The adapter sleeve grips around the head of the bolt when you set up the equipment, and you do not have to prepare a bolt for pulltesting prior to instal-lation. This means that you can easily pull test bolts that were installed a long time ago. You can pull-test bolts with or without face plates.
