ZongXiang, a leading Chinese manufacturer and supplier of underground support systems, has successfully exported a batch of PM24 Swellex rock bolts to Bolivia, reinforcing its position as a key player in the global mining and tunneling industry. This shipment, announced on August 12, 2025, highlights ZongXiang’s commitment to delivering high-quality, reliable rock reinforcement products to support critical infrastructure projects worldwide.

The PM24 Swellex rock bolt is a cornerstone of ZongXiang’s product line, designed for versatility and durability in demanding environments. These bolts are made from Q235B carbon steel, with a yield load of ?200 kN, a breaking load of ?240 kN, and an elongation capacity of ?10%. The bolt consists of a welded tube folded in upon itself, sealed at one end, and expanded using high-pressure water (300 bar) inside a borehole. This straightforward installation process mirrors other rock bolt systems, making it accessible to operators while ensuring robust anchorage in various geological conditions, including seismic-prone areas.

Bolivia’s mining sector, a vital component of its economy, relies heavily on advanced ground support solutions to ensure safety and operational efficiency. The PM24 Swellex rock bolts are particularly suited for this purpose, offering rapid installation and proven reliability in applications such as roof and hanging wall stabilization. Their ability to deform slightly during ground movements enhances structural integrity, reducing the risk of collapses in underground excavations. This adaptability makes them ideal for Bolivia’s diverse geological challenges, from tunneling to large-scale mining operations.

ZongXiang’s export to Bolivia was seamlessly managed by its experienced logistics team, ensuring compliance with international quality standards. The bolts, manufactured to GB specifications, were packed in bundles or rolls for sea-worthy transport, likely shipped from Chinese ports such as Tianjin or Qingdao. This export follows ZongXiang’s successful track record of supplying mining support products to countries like Peru, Colombia, and the Philippines, demonstrating its growing global footprint.

Henan Zongxiang Heavy Industry Import & Export Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Zhongxiang Steel Group, has built a reputation for excellence since its establishment in 1997. With over a decade of export experience and a team of skilled professionals, the company consistently meets the needs of international clients. The Bolivia shipment underscores ZongXiang’s dedication to quality, safety, and innovation, positioning it as a trusted partner for mining companies worldwide.

This export not only strengthens ZongXiang’s presence in South America but also highlights the critical role of advanced rock bolting systems in supporting global mining operations. As demand for reliable ground support solutions grows, ZongXiang continues to deliver cutting-edge products that enhance safety and efficiency in challenging environments.
