Key Features
DSI Underground Mining Products Division have continued to develop torque resistance nuts which provide greater benefits over and above the hot forged mixing square enabling the use of a single spanner operation in installation of chemical rock bolts. Similarly there has been a continued quest to improve earlier versions of Drive Nuts.
DSI Underground’s OZ Nuts stand out in offering the following:
- No residual drag from the torque resistant device, hence ability to gain a greater pre-tension of bolt.
- Less strain on operators using hand held roof bolters due to a smooth break-out mode.
- The OZ Nut is available to suit the majority of DSI Underground rock bolts including Flexibolts, Threadbar and Universal Bolts.
- Corrosion protection can be provided by zinc plating to AS 1789-1984.
- Australian Patent Number 647259 is applicable to DSI Underground OZ Nut.
