Robbins Disc Cutter Assembly - Time Lapse
Did you know that all Robbins disc cutters are assembled in Kent, Washington, USA? See how we do it in this time lapse construction of a Small Boring Unit disc cutter, 6.5 inches in diameter.
Robbins Crossover TBM: Breaking Records at TEP II
At Mexico City’s Túnel Emisor Poniente II (TEP II), a Robbins Crossover (XRE) TBM has excavated at record-breaking speeds through varying geology – even breaking a national record of 57 meters in a single day. Watch how the 8.7 m diameter Robbins Crossover machine will supplement an existing and overtaxed wastewater line built in the 1970’s.
Robbins Continuous Conveyors
The Robbins Company holds nearly 90% of world records for tunnel boring machines, and behind two thirds of those TBMs are continuous conveyor systems for rapid muck removal. Every conveyor system is customized to a project’s particular requirements, including ground conditions, tunnel alignment, and project location. This video explains how Robbins continuous conveyors transport muck efficiently and why they are sought after by contractors worldwide.
Disc Cutters Spec Sheet
Robbins designs and manufactures the most technically advanced disc cutters worldwide with a commitment to high quality and continual improvement. No matter the geology, no matter the machine type or manufacturer, no matter the size- Robbins has the cutting solution to meet your needs.
SBU-Rockhead Spec Sheet
The Robbins Rockhead is ideal on longer utility installations (over 500 ft)
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.
SBU-M Spec Sheet
The Motorized SBU is the optimal choice for longer utility installations (over 300 ft) or for crossings with specific line and grade requirements. The SBU-M is an intermittently manned, articulated mixed ground and hard rock boring machine for use with standard Auger Boring Machines (ABMs) or pipe jacking systems.
SBU-DS Spec Sheet
The small diameter Double Shield TBM (SBU-DS) is ideal for long tunnels (up to 3 km) without intermediate access. The SBU-DS, in diameters from 2.2 to 3.0 m (88 to 118 inches) is a manned-entry, hard rock tunnel boring machine.
SBU-A Spec Sheet
The Small Boring Unit (SBU-A) is a proven solution for medium to hard rock utility installations up to 150 m in length. The SBU-A can be used with any conventional auger boring machine (ABM) from 0.6 to 1.8 m in diameter and utilizes a full-face auger for spoils removal. Before excavation, the SBU-A is welded to the lead casing. A full-face auger is added to the casing and the assembly is lowered onto the ABM track. In hard rock, the circular cutterhead is tted with disc cutters, while in mixed ground a combination of ripper teeth, drag, bits, and disc cutters are used.
