BENTONITE PLANTS

Hydrated bentonite slurry plants for tunnelling and ground stabilisation 

The SIMEM Underground Bentonite Plants are engineered to produce high-quality hydrated bentonite slurry used in tunnelling and ground stabilisation operations. 

By creating a thick colloidal mixture of bentonite and water, the system provides consistent slurry quality essential for tunnel boring machine (TBM) operations, slurry walls and soil conditioning.  

The plants integrate high-shear mixing, storage tanks and pumping systems to ensure reliable production and delivery of bentonite slurry directly to tunnelling operations.  

Ideal for: 

  • Tunnel boring machine (TBM) operations 
  • Slurry wall construction and ground stabilisation 
  • Infrastructure and underground construction projects
