Welcome to
Elbroc Mining Products
ELBROC Mining Products (Pty) Ltd is a recognized leading manufacturer and supplier of In-Stope Roof Support Products to the Mining Industry. This Gauteng based ISO 9001 facility provides patented propriety products with capabilities covering design, development, machining, fabrication, assembly and testing. Mechanical and Hydraulic Props that are used as Sacrificial or Temporary Support along with related accessories forms the core of the business. A Remote Drill Rig, Pre-Stressed Elongate and Grout Pump complete the product range. Equipment is serviced and a full range of replacement parts is available. Elbroc’s products have application in all Mines with Gold, Platinum and Coal the primary market.
At its in-house testing facility, ELBROC subjects its products to stringent testing to ensure compliance with performance and safety standards required in the harsh mining environment. Their hydraulic press has the following capabilities:
- A load capacity of 600kN for static or dynamic testing
- Test heights ranging from 0.3m to 3.7m
- Maximum test deformation (or stroke) of 650mm
- Remote control room
When performing static testing, the hydraulic press can perform below or above the industry benchmark of 30mm/ min.
During a dynamic test the press simulates face-burst conditions with the platen initially travelling at 30mm/min for the first 50mm of deformation, then rapidly accelerating to a peak velocity of 3m/sec, before returning to 30mm/min for the remainder of the stoke. The onset and period of the dynamic loading is controlled by an operator in the control room. A real-time load/deformation or load/time graph is visible on the control room screen during the test while all data is stored so that graphs can be later generated as required.
Ultimately, ELBROC strives to be a leading supplier and manufacturer of underground support equipment.
