    Robbins is back with innovation!

    The rectangular TBM has dimensions of 5 m x 4.5 m and the tunnel it excavates is immediately available for use by the rubber tired vehicles.

    At Fresnillo, a silver mine in Mexico, Robbins and the mine operator are making good headway on accessing a deep underground orebody using a rectangular tunnel boring machine.
