Products and Services
Herrenknecht Shaft Sinking Systems are an innovative machine concept able to reach deposits at great depths safely and efficiently. Implementation of mechanized shaft sinking in mine development increases occupational health and safety and enhances shaft sinking rates for shafts of up to 2,000 meters. With the proven Raise Boring technology, a broad variety of shafts in mining and civil projects can be drilled. This allows fast and competitive construction of shafts with different diameters for various applications. Thanks to its compact and modular design, it can be shipped easily and delivers reliable operation wherever needed. Herrenknecht has developed customized mining machines for the excavation of vertical and inclined slot holes and shafts in hard rock for a wide range of underground applications. The Boxhole and Reef Boring Machines focuses on high productivity, optimal machine mobility and minimal space requirements.RAISE BORING RIG (RBR)
The Raise Boring Rig (RBR) developed by Herrenknecht is designed for the construction of shafts in rock down to 2,000 meters in depth. Thanks to its
compact design, it offers high flexibility even under space constraints and is therefore suitable for various applications in the mining industry. It has proven its
worth with its modular design and its efficient centerfree drive. Connection shafts for mining or penstocks for pump storage power plants can be constructed quickly and safely.
SHAFT DRILLING JUMBO (SDJ)
For the conventional construction of shafts in hard rock Herrenknecht has developed the new Shaft Drilling Jumbo on the basis of tried and tested mechanized tunnelling technology. The modular jumbos are constructed in line with specific customer needs and can be used with shaft diameters of up to 12 meters. The optimized logistics in the shaft lead to process acceleration, an increase in cost efficiency and at the same time to a reduction of potential hazards for the personnel.
SHAFT BORING ROADHEADER (SBR)
The Shaft Boring Roadheader (SBR) was developed for the mechanized sinking of blind shafts in soft to medium-hard rock with up to 120 MPa. This allows the creation of variable shaft diameters between 7 and 12 meters. Based on the proven technology of Herrenknecht Vertical Shaft Sinking Machines (VSM), the new development offers a higher level of work safety compared to conventional shaft sinking with simultaneously higher advance rates.
