• Tunnel Boring Machine: Definition & Working Principle

  Aug 08, 2025

  A tunnel boring machine (TBM), also known as a mole or worm, is a specialized piece of tunnel boring equipment designed to excavate round tunnels through soil and rock. I rely on tunnel boring machines for tunnel projects because they feature a spinning cutterhead, a protective shield, and systems that ensure tunnel stability. These machines use hydraulic jacks, conveyor belts, and install tunnel lining as they advance, making the tunneling process safer and more efficient. According to civil engineering resources, the tunnel boring machine is essential for tunnel construction and can operate in various ground conditions. For challenging projects, I often choose a slurry balance tunnel boring machine or a double shield tunnel boring machine. NHI offers a...

• Industries That Rely on Bridge Type Scraper Reclaimers for Bulk Material Handling

  Jul 30, 2025

  Mining, cement, power, steel, chemical, and building materials industries use bridge type scraper reclaimer solutions to move and mix different materials. Moving materials well helps work go faster, saves money, and keeps people safe. Using automation and IoT means less time stopped and less fixing needed. These machines work with many storage types and uses, which helps people get more done. Overview Bridge Type Scraper Reclaimer Design A bridge-type scraper reclaimer is special because of its strong build and smart features. The machine has a tough bridge that goes over the storage area. It moves on tracks above big piles of material. Scraper chains with blades or buckets dig into things like coal, ore, or minerals. The reclaimer moves along the bridge. It scrapes up the ma...
