Equipment

MNB-50 / Directional rod pusher


This is a small-sized unit, with the pulling capacity of 50 tons, for construction of average-diameter pipelines in urban environment.

Simple, versatile and reliable ground-piercing tool with the pulling power of 50 tons. Modular mounting system enables operation in standard rectangular trench box or a special OR-1.5 shoring system for depths up to 5.5 meters, as well as directly in a 1500 mm well.

MNB-50 equipment set is provided with hydraulic power pack with connections for the machine’s hydraulic power cylinder, as well as various hydraulic instruments (such as jackhammer, pump, circular saw, chain saw, jig saw, drill, nut runner or valve rotation device).

Application:

  • Installation of new pipes up to 315 mm in diameter at the distance of up to 150 m
  • Trenchless replacement of old pipelines up to 315 mm in diameter by means of static pipe bursting

 Distinctive features

The MNB-50 unit’s principal competitive advantage is its wide range of functions. Minimal excavations for pits, with the minimal disruption of surrounding areas, make the MNB-50 unit particularly useful in confined urban conditions.

MNB-50 works reliably under severe winter conditions in Russia, Belarus, Ukraine and Kazakhstan. MNB-50 is the most popular unit in its class due to its good combination of price, versatility, scope of applications and small size.

Options for the MNB-50 unit installation and operation:

The MNB-50 unit’s principal competitive advantage is its wide range of functions.

Minimal excavations for pits, with the surrounding areas remaining maximally untouched, make the MNB-50 unit especially appropriate for confined urban conditions.

MNB-50 works reliably under severe winter conditions in Russia, Belarus, Ukraine and Kazakhstan.

MNB-50 is the most popular unit in the relevant class, due to its good combination of price, versatility, scope of application and small sizes.


MEMPEX JSC offers new applications for MNB-50:

Since November 2009, the MNB-50 equipment kit is provided with the new hydraulic unit; not only the machine’s hydraulic power cylinder can be connected to it, but also various hydraulic equipment (such as a jackhammer, a pump, a circular saw, a chain saw, a jig saw, a drill and even a nut runner or a valve rotation device).
