 Swellex pumps from Atlas Copco
The installation system for Swellex rock bolts consists of a high pressure water pump coupled with an infla-
tion chuck that is pushed over the bolt’s head bushing to conduct the water flow from the pump to the
inside of the bolt.

The water pumps used for this opera-

tion are high pressure pumps that can
rapidly and safely deliver the 300 bars
constant pressure specified for a per-
fect installation. The inflation chuck
is a safe and simple system that grips
and injects the water inside the bolt.

Once the inflation is completed, the

pressure is released manually, or au-
tomatically, like with the electric and
hydraulic versions of the pump.


Choosing� the
��������������
right pump
When choosing between a pneumatic, electric or hydraulic pump, the user should be informed in advance
about the availability of hydraulic drives, pressurized air and electricity on site.

A comparison of the various input requirements with the available services is necessary in order to make an
educated choice on the best type of pump to use.

Installation with a hydraulic rig tends to favor the hy-

draulic pumps, but the electric and pneumatic pumps
can still be an option as they can be easily installed on
most rigs and more rudimentary bolting equipment.

Flexibility requirements can also affect the choice of

the pump as the operator may need a pump that can
be used in various environments that do not always
have all the same service availability.

Hydraulic and electric Swellex pumps have the lowest

maintenance costs of the three types available at Atlas
Copco.

The diagram provided to the right can help to evalu-

ate the pump that best suits the performance require-
ments of the bolting operations, in terms of inflation
time.


 Swellex pump PSP 240/300
The pneumatic Swellex pump PSP 240/300 is a well-
proven high pressure water pump for Swellex rock
bolt installations. It has an integrated pump unit,
which is a pressure booster consisting of a double
acting air cylinder connected to a water pump by
means of a common piston rod. It requires an in-
let air pressure of 5 bar to inflate bolts up to 300
bar. The expansion time for a 4.0 m long Standard
Swellex rockbolt is about 70 seconds.

Productivity characteristics
• Sturdy, yet light construction
• Suitable for work in hard and demanding underground conditions
• High availability / reliability.

Areas of use
This simple and yet high performance pump is especially suited for:
• Bolting where electricity is not widely available
• Manual installation of Swellex rock bolt with various equipment
• Relatively low bolt consumption

Swellex pumps H1 and HC1
The hydraulic Swellex pump H1 is designed to be used
with hydraulic bolting rigs. The H1 is robust and reli-
able. It can be used with a manual installation arm or
can be integrated with the rig‘s installation system.
Swellex H1 hydraulic pumps are only available in the
stainless steel version to resist corrosion and to pro-
vide a long life expectancy and low operating costs.

The HC1 version has been designed to assure the quality of installation by con-

 Swellex pump E1
The electric Swellex pump E1 is a fast and quiet high pressure water pump.
It has an electrically driven Triplex plunger pump for up to 320 bar installa-
tion pressure. The flow delivered by the pump is independent of the water
pressure and thus speeds up the bolt expansion process. The expansion
time for a 6.0 m long Pm24/Mn24 bolt is less than 60 seconds.

The pump is equipped with main switch, pressure sensor on incoming and
outlet side with signal light. The outlet pressure from the pump can be ad-
justed via a pressure switch. The pump can also be used as a high pressure
washing unit when used with the Atlas Copco dedicated washing nozzle.

Productivity characteristics
• Use with rigs where electricity is available
• For various current and voltage requirements
• Robust with short inflation time

Areas of use
For use when high performance bolting is required with various types of rigs and equipment.
• Can be used for manual or mechanized bolting
• The pump is equipped with a time control system so the inflation process is unlikely to be affected by
human factors.
