Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9218751A1] Proposed is a tunnel-driving machine designed to bore a tunnel and having, in addition to a large outer cutter wheel (8), a smaller central cutter wheel (17) which is mounted near the hub of the outer cutter wheel (8) and which enables the formation of soil plugs and dead cores to be avoided along the longitudinal axis of the cutting wheel (8), thus reducing the resistance of the machine to forward motion.
