What Are the Benefits of MasterRoc ABR 5?

  • Effective reduction of dust formation, leading to a considerably improved working environment for TBM personnel

  • Reduced TBM downtime due to less frequent cutter changes, resulting in more time available for excavation

  • Improved transfer of the muck from the cutter head, reducing the risk of blockage, and keeping the cutter discs and cutter head area cleaner, making maintenance easier and reducing cutter disc changing time

  • Overall cost savings due to higher monthly advance rates and lower maintenance costs
