Tunneling
Tunneling projects are among the most complex and demanding engineering undertakings. Whether constructing metro systems, road tunnels, or underground infrastructure, these environments are confined, hazardous, and highly regulated.
Tunneling operations require conveyor systems that are compact yet powerful, capable of operating reliably in restricted spaces with strict safety compliance.
These conveyors often run continuously in environments with high humidity, dust, and vibration. ATEX certification and explosion prevention standards are critical, as many tunnels pass through geologies that pose fire or gas hazards.
At GURTEC we have long experience from tunneling industry’s special requirements and our components are used in tunnelling projects around the world.
Why GURTEC?
Reliability and safety.
Gurtec delivers conveyor components engineered for tunneling environments, combining compact design with uncompromising safety and reliability.
Global capability. Local accountability.
GURTEC supports global operations with engineers and sales teams who know your work, stay close to your needs and show up when you need real contact.
Reliability engineered for severe conditions.
Dust, heat, vibration, water and impact are constant in bulk material handling. GURTEC builds conveyor components that run consistently and keep material flow stable through every stage of your process, reducing total cost of ownership and improving long-term ROI.
Innovation that proves itself on the line.
At Gurtec, innovation is focused on preventing problems before they stop your operation. Every improvement is designed to keep material flowing and help you avoid unplanned downtime.
GUP Rollers – Light-Duty Excellence
Our GUP rollers feature a plastic multiple labyrinth design that prioritizes minimizing the space between individual labyrinth ducts.
In combination with a properly sized grease chamber, this ensures a long-lasting and versatile sealing system. GUP roller is a perfect choice to improve your conveyor’s efficiency and reduce downtime.
- Compact Design: Ideal for space-restricted installations.
- Premium Sealing: In-house labyrinth seals protect against dust and moisture.
- Lifetime Greased Bearings: Maintenance-free operation reduces intervention in hazardous areas.
GST Rollers – Multipurpose Strength
The GST series incorporates a rugged design across several variations, making it ideal for tunneling applications and wide variety of belt widths.
Our GST rollers are produced in-house with robust materials to ensure strength and durability when operating within the harshest environments.
