TamSoil 260CF
Overview
TamSoil 260CF is a polymerised soil conditioning foam specifically developed to be used on a tunnel boring machine (TBM). It acts as a soil conditioner for various types of soil conditions, especially below ground water table. TamSoil 260CF gives the excavated soil the necessary plastic properties and reduces wear at the cutterhead. TamSoil 260CF also creates a homogeneous and compressible spoil in order to reduce the cutterhead torque and secure a constant earth pressure in the working chamber during the excavating process.
Reduces wear at the cutterhead
