Hydroman® Horizontal Bentonite Slurry Tunnel Pump for Microtunneling Construction is design for microtunnelling projects based on characteristic of tight space to collect and remove fluids that may contain additives, including bentonite, polymers, soda ash, surfactants, or other materials, to enhance stability and excavatability.
Microtunneling is a trenchless construction method and installed using a remote-controlled drilling and pipe-jacking system, is a important character in install pipelines beneath highways, railroads, runways, harbors, rivers, and environmentally sensitive areas, in the process of construction will produce a lot of slurry of mixture of water and bentonite clay, so need the tunnel pump to transfer extra slurry, mud, gravel, sludge etc., so we can call the tunnel pump as Microtunneling slurry pump, Tunnel bentonite slurry pump, Pipe-jacking tunneling mud pump,Tunneling shield slurry pump, Tunnel shield gravel pump, Microtunneling shield sludge gravel pump etc.
Hydroman® Horizontal Bentonite Slurry Tunnel Pump for Microtunneling Construction Characteristic:
• Horizontal, cantilevered, single-casing structure, centrifugal pump design.
• Microtunnelling slurry pumpwith engineered wide flow channel can handle slurries with up to 60% of solids by weight and particles with up to 60 mm diameter .
• Close-coupled type slurry sand pump for reducing the volume and easily moving .
• Easy installation, discharge outlet can be adjusted at any direction of 360°.
Hydroman® Horizontal bentonite slurry tunnel pump are applicable for :
▪ River crossing tunnel.
▪ Deep tunneling.
▪ Deep mining operations.
▪ Tunneling for underground transportations etc.
▪ Combined Sewer Overflow Systems.
▪ Sea, lake or river outfall of sewer, water and industrial fluids.
▪ Road crossings, streets, railways, buildings, airports, parks.
▪ Desalinization plant water intake tunnels.
▪ Gas, electricity, cable, and telecommunication networks conduits.
