Hard rock mining

Where better beam building is needed, the Tension Rebar Bolt System has strength characteristics to meet your needs.

These products were designed to improve the productivity of ground support installation in underground mining and tunnelling applications. Using the pumpable resin enables the load to be taken up in minutes rather than the typical 24 hours from cementitious grouted systems.

CarboThix™ Fast

CarboThix™ Fast is an immediate partially stiffening and very fast curing dual component silicate resin for bonding injection drilling anchors, also for rock stabilization and water sealing. CarboThix Fast was developed to improve the productivity of ground support installation in underground mining and tunnelling applications. Using the pumpable resin enables loads to be taken up in minutes rather than the typical 24 hours from cementitious grouted systems. Typical applications of CarboThix Fast include grouting of cable bolts, steel or GFRP bolts, and sealing of roof bolts.

CarboThix™ 2

Typical applications of CarboThix™ 2 include sealing of injection bolts, steel or GFRP rods, and sealing of roof bolts. During application, the two components are intimately mixed and achieve a grease-like viscosity (the so called Thix effect) so that the grout stops flowing and cures to form a tough elastic and non-porous resin that will not mix with water or be diluted in wet holes.

Our comprehensive quality control program ensures that each product arrives at your site just as you have specified.

With a world leading manufacturer in your corner, you can rest assured that Minova will be able to fill your orders quickly and efficiently, regardless of the size of the delivery requirement.

Our cables and trusses are manufactured to high quality and help to drive your site safety and efficiency.

Cylindrical bags, 27” or 30” diameter, are secured to the mine roof and are subsequently filled with a foamed cement.

The installation of the TekCrib system is accomplished by using the Minova TekPlacer unit, specially designed to combine the TekCrib powder with air and water, producing a cementitious foam.

The foam is typically pumped a distance of 1,000 ft., although much longer distances are possible, especially when pumping down surface boreholes. The mix begins to gel within minutes of discharge and cures to a final strength, ranging from approximately 400-800 psi.

TekPak P is a patented pumpable crib material having substantial benefits in terms of roof control, speed and ease of installation. TekPak P has a high early strength allowing the crib to resist bed separation and convergence. The fully cured strength is substantial with over 150 tons of load bearing capacity.

TekSet® is a single-component, cementitious grout designed as a fill for a bag placed between the top of a crib and the mine roof, or atop a specially designed post system. Depending on the water temperature, the material will set in approximately 10 to 15 minutes. The tedious routine of blocking and wedging supplemental roof support is replaced by a simpler, faster and more efficient means.

TekCrete Fast was developed in response to customer  demand for a shotcrete (gunite) with effectively immediate strength on application. TekCrete Fast may be used with or without steel or polymer mesh, although the use of mesh will provide additional tensile and flexural strength.

Fiber reinforced, this product offers superlative adhesion characteristics with typical compressive strengths over 11,000 psi. It is ideally suited for use where immediate structural strength is required.

Binding broken base material together for better structural integrity, TekCrete Fast can be used anywhere where conventional shotcrete (gunite) is used and with any coating or sealant. It performs best when applied as soon as possible after the base material is exposed. Including rebound, TekCrete Fast has a surface coverage of approximately 8.2 ft² per 60lb. bag at an application thickness of 1⁄2“.

Tekcrete™ Pro 1500 is ideal for large vertical and overhead structural repairs where a rapid hardening product is needed.

TekFlex® is safe to handle and apply using conventional systems and can be hand applied or mechanically applied. No specific ventilation requirements are necessary for the application with only conventional PPE required.

Celroc P is a high-strength, non-shrink, non-metallic grout consisting of rapid hardening hydraulic cement and super plasticizer. Designed to produce a pumpable grout at low w/c ratios with the unique features of being highly resistant to dilution in moving water and aggressive ground conditions.

Once added to water, the liquid reagent starts to work immediately.

As the pump draws the reagent into the contaminated pipe, the iron build-up is loosened and begins to break up.

Evidence of the reagent’s cleaning power is seen as chunks of material appear at the discharge end of the line.

Yellowboy additive is environmentally safe when used as directed.

Celbex 653 is a blend of water-soluble, high molecular-weight polymers supplied as a white powder.

It is designed to provide a stable polymer matrix enveloping every cement particle, which functions as a protective coating and thus prevents water washout.

GeoFoam is flame-resistant easily cuttable by tunnel boring machines when cured and has a low exothermic temperature making it safer for installers to use and the environment.

It is designed for the immediate stabilization of unconsolidated geological formations during tunneling, drilling, mining and other civil engineering projects.

After mixing, the resin quickly starts foaming-up within seconds forming a strong lightweight foam. Common uses include structural support in tunnelling and for the lifting of roadways or slabs.

TekFoam is a non-combustible, void-filling, structural cement foam. Supplied as a powder, the cement forms a low-density foam (0.25 to 0.35 sg) when combined with the proper amount of air and water in the specially designed Tekplacer unit.

TekFoam mix is typically pumped 400 feet (121.9m) through a 1” (25.4mm) diameter hose, farther through a larger diameter hose. The 20 psi (0.1379MPa) product begins to gel in minutes, forming a non-toxic, non-combustible product weighing approximately 540 lbs/ yd3 (320.4kg/ m3).  Because of its rapid strength gain, the foam material is firm enough to walk on in 30 to 60 minutes.

It has got a high polarity and is environmentally compatible. Not for applications with sodium silicate based components ( e.g. Carbothix Compt A, CarboLith Compt A etc), as CarboSolv D reacts with sodium silicate.
