Capcem™ Products

Capcem™ capsules ensure fast and efficient grouting in rock anchoring applications.

Capcem™ capsules are supplied as ready to use dry powder encapsulated in a water permeable skin which allows controlled water absorption for correct wetting of the grout.

When required for use, the capsules are soaked in water which is absorbed through the skin, forming a thixotropic non-shrink grout.

The capsules absorb the correct amount of water and are used particularly for overhead roof bolting as encountered in mining and tunnelling.

Lokset Accessories

We provide a comprehensive range of auxiliary products for the fast and easy application of this innovative product.

Resin Capsule Parachutes

Parachutes are recommended when Lokset™ resin capsules are air-loaded into rock bolt holes. The parachute guides and protects the capsule while it travels at high speed through the loading tube into the hole, then holds the capsule up the hole until the bolt is inserted.

Instructions for use:

  • Gently force the resin capsule into the open end of the parachute
  • Load the capsule into the capsule gun so that the parachute is on the front end
  • Fire the capsule into the hole

Resin Capsule Top Hats (Retainers)

Resin capsule top hats are made from recycled plastic and are used to retain resin capsules in rock bolt holes, until the bolts are inserted. This frees the operator to use both hands for other tasks such as lining up the rock bolt and operating the bolting machine.

Instructions for use:

  • Insert the resin capsule into hole.
  • Push in the top hat behind the resin capsule.
  • If multiple capsules are used, push in a top-hat behind each one

Resin Capsule Injector

The resin injector is used to load Lokset™ resin capsules into roofbolt holes, and consists of a plunger within a hollow tube. Each Resin Injector is tested in our laboratories prior to dispatch.

Instructions for use:

  • Remove the plunger from the outer tube.
  • Insert the appropriate size polytop into one end of the outer tube.
  • From the other end, insert the Lokset™ resin capsules
  • Push the injector against the roofbolt hole opening, and push the plunger until the resin capsules and polytop are inside the hole.

Quick-Chem™ System

The Quick-Chem™ Lokset™ resin capsule insertion system ensures safe, fast and complete insertion of resin capsules. The system consists of a specially designed cap suitable for attaching to Lokset™ resin capsules and an insertion tube that carries the resin capsule(s) to the back to of the holes and is then removed for re-use.

Instructions for use:

  • Securely attach appropriate Quick- Chem™ cap to the end of the Lokset™ resin
  • Place the capsule with the cap attached in the Quick-Chem™ insertion tube
  • Fit the tube to the shank of the drifter
  • Collar the tube in the hole and push into the hole until the resin capsule cannot be seen
  • Withdraw the tube
