1. SPB Slurry Balance Pipe Jacking Machine Series
1.1 Product Introduction
- Versatile Soil Adaptability: The SPB series is engineered to work in various types of soil. It shows outstanding performance in silty and sand ground conditions, and is especially suitable for strata with a high groundwater level and significant soil quality variations. This adaptability makes it a reliable choice for diverse tunneling projects across the United States and Australia, where different soil types are commonly encountered.
- Stable Excavation and Low Disturbance: During construction, the excavation face remains stable. The machine causes minimal disturbance to the surrounding soil, resulting in extremely low ground settlement. This is crucial for projects in urban areas or near sensitive structures, ensuring the safety and integrity of the surrounding environment.
- Efficient and Continuous Operation: With a highly efficient slurry - based muck transportation system, the machine can operate continuously, achieving a relatively fast jacking speed. This not only improves construction efficiency but also helps to reduce project completion time and costs.
- Safe and Convenient Operation: The SPB series features remote control operation from the ground, while the machine head has a fully automated response system. This setup ensures safe, standardized, and convenient operation, minimizing the risk of accidents and improving the working environment for operators.
- Reliable Sealing and Long Lifespan: The spindle of the machine is equipped with a reliable sealing mechanism, which significantly extends the service life of the equipment. This reduces the need for frequent maintenance and replacement, providing long - term value for our customers.
