PEX FORMIN Expansive Plate: Effective Support for Underground Mining
At FORMIN, we offer advanced support and anchoring solutions for underground mining projects. Our PEX expansive plate is a pre-tensioned mechanism ideal for mine support, working in conjunction with wooden props and cribbing (wood pack) to prevent rockfalls in underground extraction operations.
What is the PEX Expansive Plate?
The PEX FORMIN expansive plate is a support system placed at the lower or upper end of wooden props, or on top of cribbing, without the need for a «patilla» (support tab).
Its design allows it to always be in contact with the floor, roof, or sidewalls of underground workings. The PEX expands using high-pressure water, operated by a manual or pneumatic pump, and this expansion takes approximately one and a half minutes.
Benefits of the PEX FORMIN Expansive Plate
High load capacity
The PEX expansive plate can support between 20 and 50 tons, providing solid structural support.
Easy and quick installation
The expansion is carried out with high-pressure water, without the need for additional chemicals, and is completed in approximately one and a half minutes.
Efficiency and Safety
It works together with wooden props and cribbing to improve stability and prevent accidents caused by rockfalls.
Versatility of application
Ideal for underground mining projects and structural reinforcement in challenging mining environments.
The PEX FORMIN expansive plate is used in:
