DOUBLE SHIELD TBM (SBU-DS)

Product catalog summary
Overview
The Double Shield Tunnel Boring Machine (SBU-DS) by Robbins is designed for long tunnels up to 3 km without intermediate access. It is a manned-entry machine suitable for hard rock tunneling, equipped with a single-track back-up system for auxiliary functions. The SBU-DS can erect liners in unstable ground and operate without lining in stable conditions. Muck removal is facilitated by muck trains with conveyor-loading muck skips.
Applications
  • Long tunnels with no intermediate access
  • Line- and grade-sensitive tunneling
  • Bore lengths up to 3,000+ meters
Guided Boring
The SBU-DS is steerable using hydraulic stabilizer pads and articulation cylinders, with continuous line and grade accuracy monitored by a laser targeting system.
Tunneling Capabilities
The SBU-DS is capable of boring entire tunnels in much harder rock than other products in the SBU Division. It features a ring bearing and bull gear drive for larger diameter disc cutters, allowing for greater thrust and higher torque. It can bore in rock with a UCS of 300 MPa or higher over long distances.
Specifications
  • SBU-DS 2.2/2.5 M: Bore Diameter: 2.2 m to 2.5 m, Boring Stroke: 762 mm, Machine Thrust: 560 tonne max, Max. Torque: 315 kN-m at 12 RPM
  • SBU-DS 2.6/3.0 M: Bore Diameter: 2.6 m to 3.0 m, Boring Stroke: 1,270 mm, Machine Thrust: 1,400 tonne max, Max. Torque: 1,230 kN-m at 9 RPM
Machine Features
  • Machine Diameters: 2.2 to 3.0 m (larger sizes available)
  • Rock Strengths: 25 to over 250 MPa UCS
  • Ground Conditions: Medium to very hard rock, or mixed ground
  • Cutterheads: Available for both hard rock and mixed ground
  • Cutters: Equipped with 304 mm to 432 mm discs, depending on geology

DOUBLE SHIELD TBM  (SBU-DS)-1

SBU DIVISION Metric Version DOUBLE SHIELD TBM (SBU-DS) The Double Shield TBM (SBU-DS) is ideal for long tunnels (up to 3 km) without intermediate access. The SBU-DS is a manned-entry, hard rock tunnel boring machine. The machine is used in conjunction with a single-track back-up system for auxiliary functions. In unstable ground, the SBU-DS can erect liner within the tail skin, while in stable ground the machine can be used without lining. Muck is removed using muck trains with conveyor-loading muck skips. SBU-DS APPLICATIONS • Long tunnels with no intermediate access • Line- and grade-sensitive tunnelling • Bore lengths up to 3,000+ m GUIDED BORING The SBU-DS can be steered throughout the drive using hydraulic stabilizer pads and articulation cylinders. Line and grade accuracy is continuously monitored with a laser targeting system. TUNNELLING WITH NO LIMITATIONS Not just for utility crossings, the SBU-DS can bore entire tunnels in much harder rock than other SBU Division products. A ring bearing and bull gear drive allow for larger diameter 17 inch disc cutters to be used, with greater thrust and higher torque. The machine is capable of boring in rock of 300 MPa UCS or higher over long distances. AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE OR LEASE
