In 2022, Herrenknecht revealed details about its latest mechanised shaft sinking solution for mining, the Shaft Boring Cutterhead (SBC).
Join us for this special presentation which is not to be missed – limited places!
The company, which has successfully delivered its Vertical Shaft Sinking Machine (VSM) & Shaft Boring Roadheader (SBR) to soft-to-medium rock sinking applications in mining, has equipped its latest concept for hard rock up to 250 MPa uniaxial compressive strength (UCS), with the machine able to carry out cutting, lining and mucking operations concurrently.
The SBC had been designed for shaft diameters up to 9 m and shaft depths of approximately -1,500 m. The machine weight starts from 450 t and it is 45 m in length.
Patrick will present the SBC’s specifications and its capabilities as well as some of the projects completed to date.
This is an excellent networking opportunity and light refreshments will be served.
Registration details to follow soon.
