The HBT Group has acquired a 50% stake in the Germany-based company Advantec Tunnel & Mining Solutions. As a result, the Group now includes roadheading machines in its comprehensive range of mining equipment and can henceforth list tunnel construction within its field of activity. This creates a valuable synergy potential and presents a number of distinct advantages not only for both companies but also for customers in the mining and tunnelling markets. Projects currently underway serve to highlight the versatility of the tunnel digging roadheader (TDR) system.<\/p>\n

Symmetry as a Design Instrument ensures Stability<\/h3>\n

Structural symmetry is a key characteristic of the TDR range of roadheading machines produced by Advantec Tunnel & Mining Solutions, Werne, Germany (Fig. 1). This feature has not been introduced for visual or aesthetic reasons. These machines can achieve a cutting performance of up to 400 kW and can operate at compressive strengths of more than 110 MPa. Their unique design concept means that the forward feed of the cutting tool is delivered from the centre of the unit. This has a significant impact on operating performance: the force with which the feed unit works the rock is maintained at a high and consistent level. This helps to minimise machine vibration and twist, even under the toughest conditions \u2013 such as when cutting very hard rock \u2212 with the result that the TDR series achieves a much longer service life.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Advantec: A Mining and Tunnelling Specialist<\/h3>\n

Tunnel digging roadheader (TDR) machines make up the main product group of the Advantec Tunnel & Mining Solutions division (TMS). Advantec\u2019s other business lines include the development and production of durable, high-grade hydraulic cylinders and hydraulic power systems (Advantec Hydraulics) and the worldwide industrial servicing of hydraulic systems and mining machines (Advantec Industrial Service).<\/p>\n

HBT\u2019s Stake in Advantec<\/h3>\n

Advantec\u2019s Tunnel & Mining Solutions division has been 50% owned by the HBT Group since mid-2023, thereby further extending the Group\u2019s already significant mining technology portfolio. Advantec has been associated with HBT for some time through collaboration across several levels. HBT Automation (formerly EXPROTEC) is also collaborating with Advantec in running a number of ongoing projects. These include the delivery of complete energy supply and control systems for the TDR machines.<\/p>\n

Access to a new (Global) Market \u2013 Tunnel Construction<\/h3>\n

From HBT\u2019s perspective the decision to invest in Advantec TMS was based not just on the need to expand the company\u2019s mining equipment range by the addition\u00a0of roadheading machines and the synergy effect that\u00a0this would create. As these machines are used not only in the mining industry but also in infrastructure tunnel\u00a0construction projects HBT will now have access to this hugely important market that is projected as having\u00a0tremendous growth potential in countries such as India,\u00a0the USA, Australia and Turkey.<\/p>\n
