Open Tunnel Boring Machine Shield Cylinder

Open TBM Shield Cylinders Specifications

The shield cylinder for open tunnel boring machines (TBM) is a vital element in tunneling projects, offering crucial support to the shield across diverse geological conditions such as sand, clay, and silt. It proves particularly advantageous in unstable ground scenarios or areas where water ingress poses a threat. Constructed from high-strength steel, these cylinders are designed to endure the substantial pressures and forces encountered during tunneling activities. Additionally, they come equipped with various safety mechanisms, including pressure relief valves and emergency stop switches, which are essential for ensuring the safety of both the TBM and its operators.

Advantages of Open TBM Shield Cylinders

Open TBM shield cylinders present numerous advantages for tunneling operations. They facilitate support for the shield in soft ground and aid in preventing jamming. These cylinders are suitable for unstable ground conditions and areas with potential water ingress. Made from high-strength steel, they are designed to endure the extreme pressures and forces faced during tunneling activities. Furthermore, they are equipped with a variety of safety features to ensure the safety of operators and the machine itself.
