ZongXiang export a batch of 46mm split set stabilizers to Malaysia
In the bustling industrial landscape of Henan Province, China, Henan Zongxiang Heavy Industry Import & Export Co., Ltd. (ZongXiang) has marked another milestone in its global outreach. On October 28, 2025, the company successfully dispatched a substantial batch of 46mm split set stabilizers to Malaysia, underscoring its commitment to supporting the Southeast Asian mining sector. This export, comprising over 5,000 units, represents a key expansion in ZongXiang's portfolio of mine support solutions and highlights the growing demand for reliable rock reinforcement products in Malaysia's burgeoning extractive industries.
ZongXiang, established in 1997 as part of the Zhongxiang Steel Group, has evolved from a domestic rail and track accessory provider into a globally recognized supplier of mining steel products. With four modern production facilities dedicated to tunnel support items, the company boasts an impressive daily output capacity of 50,000 pieces. Specializing in items like steel rails, U-steel arches, cable bolts, and friction rock bolts, ZongXiang's split set stabilizers have become a staple for underground operations worldwide. The 46mm variant, in particular, is engineered for high-stress environments, offering superior load-bearing capabilities in diameters suited for large-scale tunneling and excavation projects.
Split set stabilizers, also known as friction bolts, are innovative anchoring systems designed to enhance rock mass stability. Constructed from high-strength carbon steel, each stabilizer features a slotted tube formed by folding a metal strip, allowing it to compress upon insertion into a borehole slightly smaller than its outer diameter—typically 46mm for this batch. This compression generates radial pressure against the rock walls, creating immediate friction that prevents slippage and reinforces the surrounding strata. Installation is remarkably straightforward: using a compatible drill driver tool, the stabilizer is hammered into place with impact energy, expanding to form a three-dimensional stress state that actively supports the rock formation. No grouting or additional chemicals are required, making it an eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative to traditional resin or expansion shell bolts.
What sets ZongXiang's 46mm split set stabilizers apart is their rigorous quality assurance. Each unit undergoes stringent testing, including pull-out capacity evaluations that verify holding power exceeding 20 tons under optimal conditions. The non-galvanized finish ensures durability in humid, corrosive mining environments, while compliance with GB standards and HS Code 7308909900 facilitates seamless international trade. Accessories like domed bearing plates and split set drivers, also included in this shipment, further enhance installation efficiency and long-term performance. Pull tests conducted post-installation confirm the stabilizers' effectiveness, with minimal degradation over time, even in dynamic ground conditions.
This export to Malaysia arrives at a pivotal moment for the country's mining sector. Malaysia, rich in tin, bauxite, and gold deposits, is ramping up underground exploration to meet global commodity demands. Projects in Pahang and Kelantan states, for instance, face challenging geologies with fractured rock faces prone to collapse. Traditional support methods often fall short in speed and reliability, leading to delays and safety risks. ZongXiang's stabilizers address these pain points directly: their quick deployment—often in under a minute per unit—minimizes downtime, while the friction mechanism provides immediate load transfer, reducing the incidence of roof falls by up to 40%, according to industry benchmarks.
The shipment originated from ZongXiang's state-of-the-art facility in Zhengzhou, where automated rolling mills and precision slotting machines ensured batch uniformity. Packaging adhered to international maritime standards, with stabilizers bundled in rust-preventive wraps and loaded into 20-foot containers for a voyage via the South China Sea. Customs clearance was expedited through ZongXiang's established trade channels, reflecting the company's Import & Export License and partnerships with Malaysian logistics firms. Upon arrival at Port Klang, the consignment will be distributed to key clients, including operators of the Penjom Gold Mine and several bauxite quarries, bolstering local infrastructure development.
For ZongXiang, this deal is more than transactional—it's a testament to strategic foresight. The company has invested heavily in R&D, incorporating feedback from global installations to refine product tensile strength and corrosion resistance. Export Director Li Wei noted, "Our 46mm stabilizers are tailored for tropical climates like Malaysia's, where moisture accelerates wear. This batch not only meets but exceeds ASTM specifications, ensuring our partners' operations run safer and smoother." This aligns with ZongXiang's broader vision: fostering sustainable mining practices through innovative, affordable supports.
Looking ahead, this export paves the way for deeper collaboration. ZongXiang plans follow-up training sessions for Malaysian installers on optimal drilling techniques and maintenance protocols. As Southeast Asia's mining output is projected to grow 15% by 2027, driven by infrastructure booms, ZongXiang positions itself as a vital ally. By delivering products that prioritize safety, efficiency, and environmental integration, the company not only secures market share but also contributes to a more resilient global supply chain.
In an era where mining safety is non-negotiable, ZongXiang's latest venture reaffirms its role as a pillar of innovation. This batch of 46mm split set stabilizers isn't just steel and slots—it's a bridge to safer depths, empowering Malaysia's miners to unearth tomorrow's treasures with confidence.
