Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Spoil Removal System

Definition
The Spoil Removal System is a critical component of a Pipe Jacking Machine that continuously extracts and transports excavated material (spoil) from the cutting head area to the surface or designated disposal location. It ensures uninterrupted tunneling by preventing spoil accumulation at the face, maintaining optimal working conditions, and supporting the overall efficiency of the pipe installation process.
Working Principle
The system typically uses a combination of mechanical conveyors (such as screw conveyors or belt conveyors) or hydraulic slurry systems to transport spoil. Excavated material is collected at the cutting head, transferred through the system within the jacking shield or pipeline, and discharged at the launch shaft or into transport containers for removal from the worksite.
Common Materials
High-strength steel, Abrasion-resistant alloys
