Bit exchange technology for shield machines in long-distance and composite ground.
The "Sunrise Bit Method" is a technology used in shield construction that allows for the safe and efficient remote exchange of cutter bits during ultra-long-distance excavation, in complex ground conditions where bedrock appears, in ground with continuous large boulders, or in ground where ground improvement is difficult. It is equipped with a rotating body that has multiple cutter bits within the spokes of the shield machine. The exchange is performed by rotating it with hydraulic jacks. 【Advantages】 ■ Cutter bits can be exchanged safely without negatively impacting the construction schedule. ■ Exchanges can be performed in environments where human entry is not possible, such as when ground improvement is not feasible or under high water pressure. ■ It is also possible to differentiate between dedicated bits for direct cutting of temporary walls at the start of shield machine operation and for cutting obstacles. *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.

basic information
【Overview】 ■ A rotating body equipped with multiple cutter bits is installed inside the shield machine's spokes, and replacement is performed by rotating it with a hydraulic jack. ■ Depending on the number of times cutter bit replacement is required, up to 8 reinforced shell bits can be equipped. ■ Since the rotation is performed using a hydraulic jack and ratchet gear, the replacement work can be carried out remotely from a safe location without the need for workers to enter the replacement area. *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.
