ROCKHEAD (SBU-RHSS OR SBU-RHDS)

Product catalog summary
Overview
The Robbins Rockhead is designed for utility installations exceeding 150 meters where precision in line and grade is crucial. It is available in two models: Double Shield (SBU-RHDS) and Single Shield (SBU-RHSS). The Double Shield model is self-propelled with a gripper system, while the Single Shield requires a pipe-jacking system or a primary liner in the tailshield. Muck removal can be managed with a small invert auger or muck cars.
Applications
  • Line-and grade-sensitive crossings
  • Replacement for carbide bit and roller cone cutterheads
  • Long bore lengths
  • Pipe jacking up to 300 meters
  • Tunneling up to 600 meters
Guided Tunneling
The Rockhead can be steered from an operator’s console inside the rear shield, using articulation cylinders and stabilizer pads for continuous control. A laser targeting system allows for continuous monitoring of the machine’s heading.
Cost-Effective Solution
The Rockhead provides more efficient excavation than typical carbide bit or roller cone cutting heads, using disc cutters to handle rock strengths from 25 to over 175 MPa UCS.
Specifications
  • Cutterhead Features: +/- 2 degrees articulation, man access for cutter inspection, center shaft style support, available for hard rock and mixed ground.
  • Cutter Options: 165, 241, 292, or 356 mm diameter cutters, single disc cutters, single or two-row tungsten carbide cutters.
  • Muck Removal Options: Belt conveyor, muck car, EPB auger.
  • Cutterhead Drive System Options: Fixed-speed electric, two-speed electric, variable-speed electric, variable-speed hydraulic.
  • Thrust System Features: In-shield hydraulic propulsion, optional pipe jacking station, self-propelled SBU-RHDS with gripper system.
  • Carrier Pipe Options: Steel casing, ring beam and board, reinforced concrete pipe, four-flange liner plate.
  • Machine Diameters: 1.5 to 2.0 meters.
  • Machine Lengths: 6.0 to 8.0 meters.
  • Rock Strengths: 25 to over 175 MPa UCS.
  • Ground Conditions: Medium to hard rock, or mixed ground.

ROCKHEAD (SBU-RHSS OR SBU-RHDS)-1

SBU DIVISION Metric Version The Robbins Rockhead is ideal on longer utility installations (over 150 m) where line and grade are critical. The Rockhead is available in Double Shield (SBU-RHDS) or Single Shield (SBU-RHSS) models. The Double Shield Rockhead is self-propelled using a gripper system. The Single Shield Rockhead must be used in conjunction with a pipe-jacking system or primary liner erected in the tailshield. Muck can be removed using a small invert auger or muck cars. ROCKHEAD APPLICATIONS • Line-and grade-sensitive crossings • Replacement for carbide bit and roller cone cutterheads • Long bore lengths • Pipe jacking up to 300 m+ • Tunneling up to 600 m+ GUIDED TUNNELLING The Rockhead can be steered throughout the drive from an operator’s console inside the rear shield. Articulation cylinders and stabilizer pads allow for continuous control of line and grade. The machine’s heading can be continuously monitored using a laser targeting system. A COST EFFECTIVE SOLUTION The Rockhead offers more efficient excavation than typical carbide bit or roller cone cutting heads. Most carbide cutting tools tend to break off in rock above 50 MPa UCS. The Rockhead uses disc cutters to chip away hard rock from 25 to over 175 MPa UCS. AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE OR LEASE
