Shield Machines Equipped with DRS Wheel-rail System

With the support of Demag wheel block, the shield machine can continuously excavate underground, which greatly improves the speed and efficiency of tunnel construction. The DRS travelling wheel block becomes the ideal choice of the shield machine.

Superior Characteristic

-Strong adaptability: the Demag travelling wheel block can adapt to different geological conditions and complex underground environment to ensure the stable operation of the shield machine.
-High load capacity: Designed to withstand the loads of shield machines and their excavations, the DRS wheel block has an excellent load capacity of up to 60 tons.
-Easy maintenance: Due to the reasonable modular design, the maintenance and replacement of the wheel block is relatively simple, reducing the maintenance time and cost.
-Durability: Made of high quality ductile iron and polyamide material, the travelling wheel  can maintain a long service life under harsh working conditions.
-Stability: The optimized wheel block design provides good stability and reduces the vibration and noise of the shield machine during tunneling.
-Modular design: The modular structure allows the travelling wheel block to be customized and expanded according to the specific needs of the shield machine.
-Multi-terrain adaptability: The wheel block is designed to adapt to a variety of terrain, including muddy, soft or rocky formations.

Parameters and Accessories

-Load range: The travelling wheel block has a wide range of loads, ranging from 2.75 tons to 60 tons.

-Dimensions: including the diameter, width and height of the wheel block, these dimensions need to match the design of the shield machine.

-Wheel material: The material choice of the wheel, such as polyurethane, cast iron or other high-performance materials, affects its wear resistance and load carrying capacity.

-Installation mode: Provide different installation options, such as top installation, side installation, etc., to adapt to the structure of the shield machine.

-Ground clearance: Ensure that the wheel block has enough clearance to adapt to different terrain and avoid ground obstacles.

-Wheel block bearings: The type and grade of bearings used affect the running smoothness and maintenance cycle of the wheel block.

-Wheel diameter: Wheel block diameter influence the tunneling speed of shield machine and the stability of wheel block.

-Wheel block structure: Fully closed or open design, affecting the durability of the wheel block and maintenance needs.

-Connecting components: such as bolts, pins, etc., to ensure the stable connection between the wheel block and the shield machine.

-Operating temperature range: The DRS travelling wheel block has a wide operating range, which is particularly important for projects in extreme environments.

Through these advantages and parameters, the travelling wheel block provides a stable and reliable travelling mechanism for the shield machine, which ensures the efficient operation and operation safety of the shield machine in underground construction. If you have more questions about the Demag wheel block, you can contact Philson.
