A11VO for roadheader

The operating environment of tunnel boring machines is highly unique, characterized by high dust levels, high humidity, poor ventilation, and continuous day-and-night construction. Compared to ordinary construction machinery, their hydraulic systems are more prone to issues such as fluid emulsification, contaminant ingress, and premature component failure. As the core power component of a roadheader, the A11VO’s service life and operational stability are highly dependent on installation, operation, and maintenance standards specifically tailored to tunnel conditions. Maintenance methods for general-purpose construction machinery are not suited to the harsh tunnel environment; long-term use following conventional procedures can easily lead to faults such as pressure fluctuations, jerky movements, and premature wear. This article outlines the specific operating guidelines and maintenance key points for the A11VO for Roadheader, tailored to the characteristics of tunnel construction.

First are the installation and piping layout specifications specific to tunnels. Given the high dust concentration and high humidity underground, the key focus of installation is to prevent air ingress, water seepage, and dust intrusion. Oil suction lines must use thickened, oil-resistant rubber hoses with strong sealing properties, and sealing gaskets must be installed on flange joints to eliminate air ingress caused by negative pressure, thereby preventing pump cavitation and unstable pressure. The oil drain line must run directly and independently to the oil tank; sharing it with the return oil line is strictly prohibited to prevent excessive back pressure from damaging internal precision components. After installation is complete, the system must be thoroughly vented to prevent residual air in the lines from causing vibration during tunneling and cutting operations or sudden load fluctuations. Additionally, all hydraulic line connections on the machine must be properly protected against dust and water to minimize the ingress of moisture and dust into the hydraulic system, thereby reducing the likelihood of malfunctions at the source.

Next are the parameters and operating procedures tailored for continuous tunneling operations. Since tunnel boring machines typically operate in a 24-hour non-stop cycle, the A11VO hydraulic pump must primarily operate in constant-power mode to match the continuous impact characteristics of the cutting load. When excavating hard rock or under heavy-load conditions, maintain stable power parameters to prevent spool fatigue caused by frequent, drastic pressure adjustments; during tunnel finishing and light-load operations, the system automatically reduces flow rate for energy-efficient operation, minimizing heat generation from continuous overflow. During construction, avoid prolonged pressure buildup and frequent start-stop shocks as much as possible, and strictly avoid high-load operation with a cold pump to effectively protect core precision components such as pistons and distribution plates, thereby maintaining stable pump output.

Finally, there is the maintenance system specifically designed for tunnel operations, which is also key to extending the pump’s service life. In high-dust environments, filter elements become contaminated much faster than in open-air equipment, so the filter replacement cycle must be shortened. Regularly inspect and promptly replace the suction and return oil filters to prevent contaminants from causing wear on internal components. Due to high humidity underground, hydraulic oil is highly susceptible to water absorption and emulsification. It is necessary to regularly test the oil’s viscosity and water content; if the oil appears whitish or cloudy, replace it immediately. After daily shutdowns, promptly inspect the pump housing seals and the tightness of the piping to identify potential oil or air leaks. Regularly calibrate the system’s pressure and power parameters to ensure the equipment maintains precise performance over the long term.
