HYDROPROP
Enhance Mine Safety and Productivity with MSP Rocset
INTRODUCING HYDROPROP
The MSP Hydro-Prop is a re-useable temporary hanging wall support unit that can be remotely installed and removed. Its structure is manufactured from a two-steel tubing system which allows for efficient support to hanging wall when water is pumped into it. The MSP Hydro Prop’s tubing system is hydraulically set and in so doing extends out telescopically to support and suit required excavation height up to 3.5m.
The inlet (fill-valve) is a non-return valve capable of tolerating a large number of debris and a complimentary tool has been designed to remotely release this valve to collapse the two sections back together.
During installation the prop is installed and pre-stressed using current conventional pre-stress pumps as utilised for pre-stressing pods, pack pre-stress plates as well as other water pre-loaded elongate supports used in underground mines. The pump can pre-stress the prop to maximum loads of up to 10 tons.
