1. Corrosion Resistance:3CR12 stainless steel is known for its excellent corrosion resistance, making it particularly suitable for underground mining environments where exposure to moisture, water, and corrosive elements is common. This resistance helps to maintain the integrity of the split set over time, reducing the risk of degradation and ensuring a longer service life.
2. Strength and Durability:Stainless steel, including 3CR12, is known for its high strength and durability. This is crucial in underground mining, where ground conditions can be challenging. The split set acts as a ground support system, providing stability to the surrounding rock. The use of a self-drilling design further enhances the efficiency of installation, reducing the need for additional drilling equipment.
3. Ease of Installation:The self-drilling feature of the split set simplifies the installation process. This can lead to significant time and cost savings compared to traditional methods that require separate drilling and installation steps. The ability to drill and install in one operation enhances the overall efficiency of ground support implementation in underground mining.
4. Reduced Downtime:The quick and efficient installation of a self-drilling split set helps minimize downtime in mining operations. Faster ground support implementation means less disruption to mining activities, allowing for smoother and more continuous mining processes.
5. Versatility:3CR12 stainless steel split sets are versatile and can be used in various mining applications. They are suitable for stabilizing different types of rock formations and ground conditions. The adaptability of these split sets makes them valuable in a range of underground mining scenarios.
6. Long-Term Cost Savings:While the initial cost of stainless steel split sets might be higher compared to alternative materials, their corrosion resistance and durability contribute to long-term cost savings. The reduced need for frequent replacements and maintenance offsets the higher upfront investment.
7. Safety Considerations:The stability provided by self-drilling 3CR12 stainless steel split sets enhances overall safety in underground mining. By preventing rockfalls and ground instability, these support systems contribute to a safer working environment for miners.

Mining and Ground Support

Split Set® friction rock stabilizers are used for underground or surface support in many applications:

Underground Mine Roof Support & Mine Roof Bolting

Every kind of underground mine uses Split Set® friction rock bolts for mining and ground support. Miners use them for mine roof bolting and mine roof support as well as to pin mesh, hang conveyors, hold pipes, and cables, secure rails in place, and for other needs.

Ground Support for Tunnels and Other Excavations

Split Set® stabilizers have solved many problems for contractors in construction and in maintaining railway and road tunnels, hydropower tunnels, powerhouse and storage caverns, shafts, water and sewage tunnels, and others.

The company is the world’s best Split Sets Underground Mining supplier. We are your one-stop shop for all needs. Our staff are highly-specialized and will help you find the product you need.

Ground Support for Surface Jobs Split Sets are being used more often for above ground applications or anywhere reliable ground stabilization is needed. Open-pit mine and quarry operators use them to stabilize high walls for the most effective mine and ground support. Open-pit miners find that using Split Set® stabilizers with mesh can permit a steeper mining angle, reducing overburden removal.

Contractors find Split Set® friction rock stabilizers ideal for attaching screen to control spalling cuts. Construction contractors use them with mesh to tie back the ground and contain rock falls on steep highway cuts, as well as in building excavations.
