We’ve recently had the privilege in delivering a new Herrenknecht RBR600VF to a valued Australian client. It was a pleasure working closely with the mine owner, contractor, and the wider Herrenknecht team to ensure the Raise Boring Rig was delivered to all parties’ expectations. Upon the Rig’s arrival to site, the RBR600VF was set up to complete its first raise, a 5m diameter x 580m deep ventilation shaft. Having now just completed the reaming process of this first shaft, feedback from the client was that “the RBR600VF performed exceptionally for the project in both the piloting and reaming phases of the hole. The drillers were impressed with the performance of the RBR600VF and the ease of operation with the advanced rig console. The technical support from Herrenknecht from commissioning to operations was fantastic”. The RBR600VF is a powerful rig, capable to reaming shafts with a depth of up to 1,200 meters and diameters of up to 7 meters. Setup with three variable frequency controlled electric motors with a total power of 540kW, the drive achieves a maximum torque in reaming mode of 568kNm and a peak break out torque of 776kNm. The four hydraulic cylinders generate a thrust force of 10,000kN, enabling the rig to cut hard rock with ease. #pioneeringundergroundtogether #herrenknecht
Was the Cuter head assembled at the shaft bottom?
Best of luck!
