Abstract
With the invention of closed-chest shield machine, EPB shield machine applies two systems to be its key components and realize its functions: the first is the additive system, which works for workability and fluidity of mucks, and the second is the screw conveyor system, which discharges mucks and balances pressure in the excavation chamber (except for a few TBMs which use pipelines).
