General recommended reaming parameters

Max recommended operating cutter load ......27 tonnes (60 000 Lbs)
Max recommended reaming head speed ........see graph below
The net operating cutter load is chosen depending on machine/ drill pipe capacity and rock characteristics.
Increase the cutter load max cutter load and/or the
machine/ drill pipe capacity limit as long as increased load
results in increased rate of penetration.
The reaming head speed (RPM) is chosen depending on
reaming head diameter and rock characteristics.
Utilise the optimum (fastest) RPM the rock formation
allows max recommended reaming head speed together
with optimum net cutter load.
Reduce the RPM before reducing the cutter load.
Cutter maintenance
The raise boring cutter bearings are operating under
extreme conditions, exposed to constant high operating
loads, varying degree of uncontrolled shock loads in combination with high temperatures.
It is of vital importance to use the recommended type of
lubricant suitable for these conditions and to relubricate the
cutters on a regular basis in order to obtain an optimum
cutter service life.
The interval between re-greasing needs to be more frequent with increased temperature as the lubricant properties are affected by increased operating temperatures.
See page 33 for the re-greasing instruction.

General recommended pilot drilling parameters

Max recommended operating bit load ............3 tonnes (6 600 Lbs) x bit diameter in inches
Max recommended speed .................................60 RPM
The net bit load and drilling speed (RPM) is chosen depending on rock characteristics max recommended bit
load and RPM.
Utilise the highest RPM the rock formation and the machine allows max recommended bit RPM together with
the correct bit load for optimum rate of penetration and bit
service life.
Reduce the RPM before reducing the bit load.
For optimum performance use sufcient ushing to clean
the hole and avoid regrinding of cuttings. Use min 800
litres/min of water for efcient ushing.

Sandvik reaming heads

The Sandvik reaming heads are available in different
types:

Integral head
CRH10D

Integral heads ex. CRH10D

Segmented heads ex. CRH10SD
Extendable heads ex. CRH10E
The gure in the name represents the reaming head
diameter in feet (CRH10D= 10). Designs for other
applications are available ex. blind boring up or down
and for horizontal boring.
Segmented heads are used when reduced transport dimension and weight is required. Extendable heads are
used for increased exibility to drill different diameters
using the same base head. All Sandvik reaming heads
have bolted components for improved exibility and
ease of service and assembly.
The reaming heads are designed with different size of
centre hole in order to t stems for different pilot hole
sizes. Part- and serial numbers are welded on the side
of the reamer as a reamer ID.

The positions are marked on the side of the head

frame. If there are two position marks, the upper
one refers to the position nearest the head centre.
Dowel pins locate the saddles in the correct position.
Note. Do not attach the saddles for position 1
and 2 before the stem is mounted. All bolts,
nuts and contact surfaces must be at,
cleaned and oiled before mounting.

Tighten the bolts crosswise to 2/3 of full torque

(800 Nm).
Finish by tighten to full strength 1200 Nm.
Always use new bolts and nuts, even when reassembling.
The Nord-lock washers are reusable.

Mounting of saddles
Different saddle types are used depending on positioning
and the reaming head type. The most frequent dressings
as per the illustration below. The part numbers are 70082XXX (some additional saddles modied for small diameters reaming heads are not shown below). The number of
the different types varies with the reaming head diameter
and type.
A new and improved gauge saddle system is implemented
on all D type reaming heads to make it possible to
reduce the reamer diameter by changing the gauge saddles
only. See page 10 for more detailed information.

A special inner saddle, 7008-2013, is used to move cutter in

position 1 closer to the pilot hole when required and is used
to keep a maximum spacing to obtain efcient spalling into
the pilot hole. (See illustration below).
Saddle 7008-2013 is required in position 1 when :
- 9 / 9 7/8 stem is used in reaming heads with 340 mm
stem fit,
- 12 1/4 stem is used in reaming heads with 360 mm
stem fit (exception CRH10SE),
- 13 3/4 stem is used in reaming heads with 390 mm

Mounting of saddles
Gauge saddle system with reduced reamer diameter option
The gauge saddle system on D-type reaming heads
makes it possible to reduce the reamer diameter in two
steps by changing the gauge saddles only (see illustrations).
This option is valid on all Sandvik reaming heads that
takes gauge saddles type 7008-2024 or 7008-2030. This
option can be used in a long raise with heavy gauge button
wear and makes it easier to reach the rock face again after
lowering the reaming head for any service. The D-type
gauge saddles have different part numbers and markings
(see table and illustrations) in order to reduce the risk of
mixing different types on the same reamer.

Mounting of segments
CRH 12E
The CRH 12E system is a user friendly design which facilitates transportation through narrow openings and substancially reduces the time for assembly.
The reamer base is transported with the segments dismounted until the collaring site is reached.

Reamer base
Segments

Bolt 7008-9134-01

Lock washer
7008-9135-01

Nut
7008-9135

Clean all contact surfaces, oil

bolts, nuts and wedges. Hook
the segments on to the head as
shown. Start to tighten the upper
wedge joints.

Begin with the wedge in the middle

and work your way outwards. Tighten
the bolts to 2/3 torque (800 Nm).
Continue with the bolt joints on the
sides and at the bottom of the segments. Tighten to 2/3 torque(800 Nm).
Tighten to full torque (1200 Nm). Use
the same sequense as when tightening
to 2/3 torque.

Use the slot-wedge bolts if it is

impossible to mount the bolts
at the bottom of the segments.

Inspection
In order to keeep your reaming head in good working
conditioning we recommend an inspection after each raise.
Check the following.
Wear pad diameter on stem
For cracks in the wrench ats and in the thread of the stem
Stem/reamer base bolt joints
Saddle bolts
Conditioning of the journal seats in the saddles
Contact surface between saddle/reamer base
Check the following on the cutters.
Button condition, use cutter gauge 7008-9445
Seal/bearing. If the cutter is easy to rotate it needs
re-greasing, follow the instructions on page 33.

Serial number location on the different components see below.

Cutter serial number is found on the shaft end of the narrow part of
the cutter and on the ball plug retainer.

The stem is marked at the bot- Head serial number is found on

tom ange and on the thread top. one side of the head frame.

Cutter gauge 7008-9445 for measuring of button wear over the gauge button row of the cutters. The gures tell you the
percentage of the protrosion left.

Removal of stem
1

Remove the inner saddles from position 1 and 2.

Use the tool combination on page 8.

Dismount the seal retainer ring. Use the two releasing holes
and tighten cross-wise until the retainer ring comes loose.

Dismount the twelve clamping bolts. Remove the protection

bolts from the jacking holes in the stem ange. Insert four
of the loose bolts and tighten cross-wise until the stem is
released.

Put a rod through the stem and attach the lifting equipment.
Pull the stem out.

Remove the worn out wear pads by grinding away the

welding joint. Pre-heat the area where the wear pads are to
be welded to 370-450 C. Should the temperature drop to
below 370. Reheat before continuing.

Fix the wear pads in position with clamps. Important!

Make sure the ID of the wear pad corresponds with the OD
of the stem.

Tack weld the pads to the stem.

Fill the welding points properly using our recommended

welding wire.After welding, the diameter over the wear pads
must be checked. If some peeks exceed D-max, grind with a
silicon carbide grinding wheel.

Recommended diameter over wear pads;

Make the welding joints 10 mm longer than the wear pad

and end with a smooth nish.

Re-grease the cutter according to the regreasing instruction. This completes the seal
change.

Remove the snap ring 7008-9111. Use a

hammer and a small chisel. Fill the cutter
with grease before dismantling the seals to
avoid dirt coming into the bearing system.

Make a puller tool by using two bolts, nuts

and a small U-beam. Tack weld the two
bolts to the retainer ring. Remove the retainer
ring by tightening the nuts and tapping the
retainer ring with a hammer. The retainer
ring can be reused if it is not damaged.

Clean the snap ring groove, the O-ring

groove and the seal seat carefully. Ensure
that the seal seat is in good condition. If not,
le the marks and nicks. Make sure no
muck or dirt comes in to the bearing system.

Inspect the retainer pin 7008-9118. Replace if showing excessive wear.

Mount the O-ring 7008-9112. Mount the

retainer ring carefully. E.g. use a hammer
and clamp for smooth mounting. Mount the
snap ring 7008-9111. Note! Always use a
new O-ring and snap ring.

Mount the protection ring 7008-9113 and

weld four joints 90 apart. Use MIG welding. Recommended welding wire 1,2 mm
