High-Quality NPD Series Slurry Balance Pipe Jacking Machine Exporter, Product

The NPD series pipe jacking machine is mainly suitable for the geological conditions with high groundwater pressure and high soil permeability coefficient. The excavated slag is pumped out of the tunnel in the form of mud through the mud pump, so it has the characteristics of high working efficiency and clean working environment.

The NPD series pipe jacking machine is mainly suitable for geological conditions with high groundwater pressure and high soil permeability coefficient. The excavated slag is pumped out of the tunnel in the form of mud through the mud pump, so it has the characteristics of high working efficiency and a clean working environment.

According to the different ways of controlling the mud on the excavation surface, the NPD series pipe jacking machine can be divided into two types: direct control type and indirect control type (air pressure composite control type).

Device positioning:

Safe Tunneling Technology in Heterogeneous Ground

Geological condition:

Soft soils, heterogeneous formations (sand, gravel, high permeability and high water pressure)

a. Direct Control Type

The direct control type pipe jacking machine can control the working pressure of the mud water tank by adjusting the speed of the mud pump or adjusting the opening of the mud water control valve. This control method is simple and convenient, and the failure rate is low.

b. Indirect Control Type

The indirect control pipe jacking machine indirectly adjusts the working pressure of the muddy water tank by changing the pressure of the air cushion tank. This control method has a sensitive response and high control accuracy.

Key Features & Technical Advantages

1. Precise Support: The automatic control air cushion provides precise support for the tunnel face, ensuring driving safety.

2. High Pressure Capacity: Tunneling can be performed efficiently even when water pressure exceeds 15bar.

3. Pressure Balancing: Mud balances formation pressure on the excavation surface, and slag is discharged via the mud conveying system.

4. High Stability: Ideal for tunnel construction with high water pressure and strict ground settlement requirements.

5. Dual Balance Modes: High driving efficiency, safe and reliable with direct and indirect control options.

6. Advanced Cutter Head: Advanced and reliable cutter head design equipped with efficient mud circulation.

7. Robust Main Drive: Adopts reliable main bearings, main drive seals, and main drive reducers for a long service life.

8. Self-Developed Control: Self-developed software control system ensures safe operation and user convenience.

9. Versatile Ground Suitability: Wide applicable to soft soil, clay, sand, gravel soil, hard soil, backfill, etc.

10. Independent Systems: Equipped with independent water injection and discharge systems.

11. Fast Drive Speed: Reaches a maximum driving speed of nearly 200mm per minute.

12. High Precision Steering: Supports steering adjustment up, down, left, and right with a maximum angle of 5.5 degrees.

13. Central Control: Integrated central control system on the ground is safe, intuitive, and convenient.

14. Tailored Solutions: A series of tailor-made configurations can be provided based on project requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What geological conditions is the NPD series pipe jacking machine designed for?
The NPD series is primarily suitable for geological conditions characterized by high groundwater pressure and high soil permeability, such as soft soils, and heterogeneous formations (including sand, gravel, and high water pressure zones).
What is the difference between direct and indirect control modes?
The direct control type manages mud tank working pressure by adjusting the mud pump speed or opening the control valve, which is simple with low failure rates. The indirect control type adjusts the pressure through the air cushion tank, providing highly sensitive responses and high control accuracy.
Can the NPD series handle tunneling under extreme water pressure?
Yes, the NPD pipe jacking machine is designed to balance formation pressure on the excavation surface using mud as the main medium, enabling successful tunneling even when the water pressure exceeds 15bar.
What is the maximum speed and steering capabilities of this machine?
The NPD series has a maximum drive speed of nearly 200mm per minute. Its high-precision steering allows adjustments up, down, left, and right, with a maximum steering angle of 5.5 degrees.
Which soil types is this equipment compatible with?
It is highly versatile and suitable for a wide variety of soils including soft soil, clay, sand, gravel soil, hard soil, and backfill.
