Cutterheads
and integrated cutting systems
The core business of Palmieri Tunnelling and Drilling
is the design and manufacture of Cutterheads or, to
be more accurate, of integrated cutting systems for
any kind of Tunnel Boring, Drilling and mechanized excavation
in general, from horizontal TBM boring to vertical drilling,
either raise boring or blind boring types.
Raise Boring Heads
In over 30 years of activity, Palmieris group accumulated
a remarkable know-how when it comes to designing, engineering
and manufacturing Raise Boring Cutterheads, as commonly
used for vertical or horizontal drilling operations
on hard geological formations such as granite, quartzite
as well as any other high strenght materials.
By analysing the geological specifications of the ground
and the type of RBM equipment to be used, we can design
the most appropriate cutterhed configuration by selecting
the most suitable roller cutters and cutting spacings
so to ensure that the highest cutting speeds combined
with the lowest cost per cubic metre can be achieved,
without comprimises. |
