INTRODUCTION
The tunnel boring machine drum cable produced by Shanghai Deyu Cable Manufacturer is a heavy-duty flexible power cable specifically designed for the continuous winding, twisting, and reciprocating operations of underground boring machines and full-section tunnel boring machines. This cable features resistance to torsion, tear, and low-smoke flame retardancy, making it suitable for use in underground tunnels and coal mining environments.
The tunnel boring machine reel cable from Shanghai Deru Cable is specifically tailored for harsh underground construction environments. It is specially manufactured for automatic reel recovery, cyclic bending, and long-distance mobile power supply of tunnel boring machines, boring machines, and underground excavation equipment. Unlike ordinary flexible cables, this mining reel cable adopts a reinforced stranded conductor and an overall extruded sheath structure, solving the problems of core wire breakage, sheath cracking, and twisting aging that occur during 24-hour continuous winding operations. It supports customization of voltage, cross-section, color, and wear resistance level for mining projects in Europe, Southeast Asia, and Australia.

FAQ
Q1: What is the difference between reel cable and ordinary flexible cable for tunneling machine?
A: Tunneling drum reel cable adds anti-torsion buffer layer and aramid tensile structure, which can adapt to frequent cyclic winding, while ordinary flexible cables are easy to break cores and crack sheaths under long-term twisting operation.
Q2: Can this tunneling reel cable work in wet underground mine?
A: Yes. It adopts integrated seamless extrusion sheath, IP67 waterproof grade, resistant muddy water soaking and underground damp environment.
Q3: Is customized size and voltage available for mining drum cable?
A: Full custom service is supported, including cable cross-section, core number, sheath hardness, voltage grade and anti-explosion performance.
