Tunnel boring machine cutter referred to as "TBM Cutters", are excavation tools installed on the cutter heads of tunnel boring machines and shield machines, which include tbm cutter disc (single disc cutter, double disc cutter, twin disc cutter) and soft ground cutters (eg. scrapers, cutting knives, buckets, rippers and other cutting tools). These types of disc cutters and soft rock cutters, in different sizes and specifications, can also be used on MTBM, pipe jacking machines, and other similar rock-breaking equipment.

Litian has been focusing on the development of tbm disc cutter and solutions suitable for various rock conditions, and we have made remarkable achievements in helping users improve tunneling efficiency and reduce overall costs. Litian has now developed into the largest supplier of TBM tunnel cutter in China.
