Description

Description

Komatsu Ltd., through its subsidiary, Komatsu Cummins Chile Ltda., has agreed with Codelco, a major state-owned mining company in Chile, to collaborate on trailing a new tunnel excavation method using Komatsu’s newly developed Mining Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) starting in 2024 at Codelco’s Chuquicamata Mine in Chile. Through trial use of the new machine, Komatsu and Codelco aim to speed up the potential introduction of this innovative technology. The Mining TBM works by continuously performing a series of processes, such as excavating rock with disc cutters and discharging the chipped rock backwards with belt conveyors, while fortifying the excavated tunnel wall.
