1 产品原理
土压平衡盾构施工的关键是将开挖下来的土体在压力仓内调整为“塑性流动状态”,即渣土改良,可以有效降低刀盘扭矩和盾构推力,减小刀具磨损,提高掘进效率。目前常用的改良剂有水、泡沫膨润土和聚合物,大部分渣土改良主要采用泡沫和膨润土。近年来,在参考国外施工经验的基础上,国内逐渐采用“泡沫剂+泥岩分散剂+水”的渣土改良方法。泥岩分散剂有着优良特性,如分散性、渗透性、剥离性,能够增强渣土的粘滞性,改善刀盘的工作环境,增加土仓的密封和便于渣土的运输。因此,泥岩分散剂技术的应用代表着渣土改良的发展方向。

3 性能参数
Zhongke Changqing ZKY-102,
Anti-clay polymer for earth pressure balance Tunnel Boring Machines (TBM)
Product description |
Zhongke Changqing ZKY-102 is the latest generation of anti-clay additives for tunnel boring machines. It is a liquid polymer, specially designed for clayey soils with high clogging and adhesion. It is manufactured from natural, renewable resources and presents a milestone in terms of environmental compatibility.
Fields of application |
ZKY-102 can be used with the standard foam generators installed on EPB machines. It can be injected at the cutter-head, into the working chamber and screw conveyor.
Features and benefits |
? Reduction of clogging and adhesion effects on the cutter-head.
? Creation of a plastic soil material which can be easily excavated and transported.
? Avoiding re-agglomeration of clay particles.
? Reduction of cutter-head torque.
? Enhance in TBM Speed.
Packaging |
ZKY-102 is packed in IBCs (1075 kg - slight variations depending on region).
Technical data (typical properties) |
Form | Liquid |
Colour | Dark brown |
Density (20°C, g/cm?) | 1.01 ± 0.03 |
Viscosity (20°C, Brookfield Sp.00) | < 150 mPa.s |
pH (10% solution, 20 °C) | 6.0 ± 1 |
Application procedure |
ZKY-102 is used as an aqueous solution with typically 10-20% concentration. Injected by a foam generator, the typical foam expansion ratio (FER) varies between 6 and 18, and the foam injection ratio (FIR) between 25 and 75. If the consistency of the muck needs to be reduced, high-efficiency foam agents can be used in combination with ZKY-102. For the first use and combination with other soil conditioning agents, please keep in touch with our engineers.
Dosing system |
ZKY-102 can be used with standard TBM dosing and foaming equipment.
Handling |
Do not mix pure ZKY-102 with any other pure soil conditioning additives as this may cause immediate gel formation. If several foaming products or polymers are used, it is preferable to reserve a specific transfer or dosing pump for ZKY-102. If a transfer or dosing pump is being used for more than one product, the pump should be cleaned with water before switching to other products.
Storage |
It should be stored between 5℃and 40℃. If stored in original tightly closed containers, it will have a shelf life of 12 months. Do not allow the product to freeze. Please consult our engineers prior to the use of any product that has become frozen.
Safety precautions |
Standard precautions for handling chemical products should be observed: avoid eye and skin contact and wear rubber gloves and safety glasses. If contact occurs, rinse with plenty of water. In case of eye contact seek medical advice.
