Product Details

Minova’s Self Drilling Hollow Bolt & UniPass is a complete system that combines drilling and grouting in a single operation to accelerate reinforcement in unstable or fractured ground. The load‑bearing element is a hollow bar with rolled continuous R‑threads; bars are extended with couplers to achieve the required length when the drill rig’s feed is limited or working under low headroom. Patented couplers safely transfer impact energy to the sacrificial drill bit, while bar nuts with a spherical cap maintain secure load paths from plate to bar and compensate angle deviations. The system operates to carry compressive and tensile foundation loads. Drilling may use water or air flush, or simultaneous drilling and grouting to form the grout body efficiently. For permanent works, corrosion protection options include hot‑dip galvanising and TwinCoat (galvanised plus epoxy).

Product Features

Self Drilling Anchor Rock Bolt for fast, safe support

Seamless hollow bars with rolled R-thread system

Seamless steel hollow bars with rolled R‑thread act as both drill string and reinforcement for fast installation and reliable load transfer.

Patented couplers transmit impact energy securely

Standard and LC couplers safely connect bars and transmit impact energy to the drill bit, enabling extensions in low headroom or limited feed

Sacrificial drill bits matched to ground for speed

One‑hole sacrificial bits, selected for site geology, improve penetration rate and create the annulus for effective grouting and bonding

Spherical‑cap nuts maintain secure aligned loading

Load‑bearing nuts with spherical caps compensate angle deviation and ensure safe transfer from plate to bar

Simultaneous drilling and grouting speeds install.

Water/air or grout flush options stabilise voids and cracks during drilling for rapid, cost‑effective installation in unstable ground
