Rock reinforcement - Quality assured

Swellex Face Plate

A rockbolt face plate or bearing plate serves
the purpose to support the loose rock around
the rockbolt head as well as to distribute the
load that comes on the bolt head uniformly
into the surrounding rock. However, the ability
to accomplish this depends on the choice of
face plate.
The Swellex Face Plate is specially designed
to support the surface rock without introducing unfavorable stresses in the bolt head. The
elliptical hole as well as the dome ensure that
the plate always sits flat against the rock
surface independently of the roughness of the
rock surface or the angle of the bolt.
The Swellex Face Plate is made of HSLA
steel (High Strength Low Alloy) chosen for its
superior characteristics in very demanding
underground conditions.
