Robbins Tailskin sealing
Robbins Tailskin Sealing is a specialized sealing system designed for Robbins Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs), focusing on the tailskin area of the cutterhead or shield.
Robbins Tailskin Sealing is a specialized sealing system designed for Robbins Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs), focusing on the tailskin area of the cutterhead or shield. This system is engineered to prevent soil, water, and debris from entering the TBM, ensuring that the machine operates efficiently and safely in various tunneling environments. Robbins tailskin sealing helps maintain the internal pressure of the TBM, providing stability during excavation, especially in soft soils, mixed ground, and challenging conditions.
Key Functions:
- Leak Prevention – Prevents soil, water, and debris from infiltrating the machine, maintaining smooth and uninterrupted tunneling.
- Pressure Regulation – Ensures that the TBM maintains proper internal pressure, which is crucial for efficient tunneling and stability.
- Optimized for Robbins Machines – Specifically designed for use in Robbins TBMs, ensuring the best possible sealing performance for their unique design and operational requirements.
- Durability – Constructed from high-strength, wear-resistant materials such as rubber, stainless steel, or specialized composites for longevity under harsh tunneling conditions.
- Reduced Maintenance – Helps reduce the need for frequent maintenance by maintaining an effective seal and preventing blockages or contamination of the TBM.
