As mine and tunnel safety requirements have become more stringent, the Swellex rock bolt system became a preferred option, offering an environmentally safe solution with high efficiency and immediate support. Now the industry’s most rigorously tested rock bolt is available with capacity and elongation suited to your project’s needs.

“There’s different environments in mining and tunnelling. There are cases where the rock mass transfers very little energy into the bolt. And in such cases there is no need for a rock bolt that absorbs high energy, you just need a rock bolt that can reach peak load without having necessarily to give a lot of elongation in energy absorbency. The Spartan Line has been engineered for these environments,” says Daniel Misiano, Vice President Marketing – Consumables.

Since its introduction 30 years ago, the Atlas Copco Swellex rock bolting system has become a standard in mines and tunnels around the world.

“The Spartan line has been engineered for a specific environment to maximize cost effectiveness and profitability. It is being manufactured using the same stringent manufacturing process, the same quality control as other Swellex rock bolts that we offer today.”

Like all bolts in the Swellex system, the Swellex Spartan is easy to install for greater productivity, and provides friction anchoring and mechanical interlocking for greater safety. Spartan comes with the quality corrosion resistance for maximum longevity. The Spartan is a strong bolt.
