Including a large variety of cutting heads for various applications, drum cutters allow for even more precise and accurate work in difficult conditions. Drum cutters use robust spur gears for optimum energy transmission and reliability. The powerful drum cutters can be equipped with an optional dust suppression system to help maximize safety and to help achieve Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) silica dust regulations.
The central fixing system allows the drum cutter to rotate 360 degrees without having to be disconnected from the excavator. With low vibration and quiet operation, drum cutters can also work in sensitive areas. Featuring a powerful and robust drive train, secure attachment of cutter drums and rigid and wear-resistant gear housing, drum cutters ensure a smooth cutting action while providing maximum cutting power to penetrate the rock.
Optional drum cutting wheels are available for the ER and ERC drum cutters, converting the drum cutter into an effective precision tool for narrow trenches or targeted slits in rock, concrete or asphalt.
