OEM NPD Series Slurry Balance Pipe Jacking Machine Factory, Pricelist

The NPD series pipe jacking machine is mainly suitable for the geological conditions with high groundwater pressure and high soil permeability coefficient. The excavated slag is pumped out of the tunnel in the form of mud through the mud pump, so it has the characteristics of high working efficiency and clean working environment.

The NPD series pipe jacking machine is mainly suitable for the geological conditions with high groundwater pressure and high soil permeability coefficient. The excavated slag is pumped out of the tunnel in the form of mud through the mud pump, so it has the characteristics of high working efficiency and clean working environment. According to the different ways of controlling the mud on the excavation surface, the NPD series pipe jacking machine can be divided into two types: direct control type and indirect control type (air pressure composite control type).

a. Direct Control Type
The direct control type pipe jacking machine can control the working pressure of the mud water tank by adjusting the speed of the mud pump or adjusting the opening of the mud water control valve. This control method is simple and convenient, and the failure rate is low.
b. Indirect Control Type
The indirect control pipe jacking machine indirectly adjusts the working pressure of muddy water tank by changing the pressure of the air cushion tank. This control method has a sensitive response and high control accuracy.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q What geological conditions are NPD series pipe jacking machines best suited for?

NPD series pipe jacking machines are mainly designed for challenging geological conditions with high groundwater pressure and high soil permeability coefficient. They perform excellently in soft soils and heterogeneous formations, including sand, gravel, and areas with high water pressure.

Q What are the differences between direct and indirect mud control modes?

Direct control type pipe jacking machines regulate mud water tank pressure directly via mud pump speed or the control valve, offering simplicity and low failure rates. Indirect control machines adjust the pressure via an air cushion tank, providing highly sensitive responses and high control accuracy.

Q Can the NPD series pipe jacking machine operate under extremely high water pressure?

Yes, the NPD series pipe jacking machine is designed to maintain tunneling operations even when the groundwater pressure exceeds 15bar.

Q What is the maximum speed and steering capability of the machine?

The NPD series machine can achieve a maximum driving speed of nearly 200mm per minute. For steering, it features high-precision guidance up, down, left, and right with a maximum steering angle of 5.5 degrees.

Q How does the machine handle soil balance and excavated slag?

The system uses mud as the primary medium to balance the formation pressure on the tunnel excavation face. The excavated slag is then pumped out cleanly and efficiently through the built-in mud conveying system.

Q How is the operation of the pipe jacking machine monitored?

The machine uses a self-developed control software system coupled with a ground central control system, providing operators with a safe, intuitive, and convenient operation interface.
