________________ Several hundred meters of

newly excavated tunnel a week are not
uncommon in mechanized tunnelling, depending
on the geology. The belt conveyors for removing
the excavated soil or rock must keep pace. A
reliable belt conveyor system as a seamless
interface between the tunnel boring machine and
the jobsite aboveground is thus an essential
factor. With its many years of experience and in
close cooperation with the customer, the
Herrenknecht subsidiary H + E Logistik GmbH manufactures powerful belt conveyor systems
that are exactly tailored to the needs of the tunnelling process.

Fast, far and flexible

The transport of excavated material on belt
conveyor systems is the most direct and often the
most cost-efficient way. With high advance rates
and excavation diameters of 8 to 9 meters, the
daily amount of rock or soil excavated can exceed

10,000 cubic meters. Another challenge is the

conveying distance that becomes longer, the
further tunnelling progresses, and individual
distances of up to 15 kilometers are possible. To

Belt conveyor systems

With efficient belt conveyors the transport of the extend the belt during operation, horizontal or
excavated material keeps pace with the
tunnelling progress.

vertical belt conveyor storage systems are used,

depending on the space available on the jobsite. If
the tunnel portal is located below the jobsite

surface, for example in a shaft, vertical belt conveyors or ascending belts transport the
excavated material to the surface. So-called stacking systems are located here and these are
precisely adapted to the jobsite conditions for the optimal stacking of the excavated material.
ADVANTAGES

+ Seamless interface to the TBM

+ Removal of the excavated material adjusted to the tunnelling speed
+ Low personnel requirements through automated processes
+ Extreme track routes possible: around curves, corners, on gradients of up to 15 degrees and vertically

Safety first
Efficient belt conveyor systems are high-tech systems. They keep personnel costs and the risk
of accidents to a minimum at extremely high conveying capacities. The belts convey enormous
amounts of excavated material to its destination point with great precision. Safety is also
ensured even when driving along curves with a tight radius. For this purpose, additional drives
are installed before the individual curves. These tunnel boosters reduce the forces that act on
the belt. In this way, the excavated material can be transported safely around even the tightest
curves. For long straight routes, the boosters provide extra thrust and have a positive impact
on the efficiency of the belt conveyor systems.

Keeping pace with tunnelling

With an efficient back-up logistics system, tunnel
boring machines can reach their full potential.

conditions, high-tech tunnel belt conveyor

tailored to the respective conveying volumes,
ensure the smooth removal of the excavated
material. They are closely aligned to the
requirements of the tunnel boring machine and
thus vital for the success of a project.
