Experience high precision and power with our Transverse Drum Cutter, also known as a Trench Drum or Rotating Pulveriser. The Transverse Drum Cutter is available in both fixed and rotating models.
The Transverse Drum Cutter comes equipped with twin rotating drums with replaceable rock picks, a sturdy drive assembly and a conical roller bearing system. It mitigates noise and vibrations in comparison to conventional rock hammers which is a key factor in maintaining both operator and machine health. Case drain lines ensure easy maintenance and an easy-to-access bearing assembly. Operational underwater of depths up to 30m.
It’s shrouded in high-strength steel for durability in heavy-duty applications. All internal drive assemblies and bearings are manufactured from the same high-strength steel to contribute to longevity and long-term reliability.
All Rotating Transverse Drum Cutters come standard with our industry-leading 5-year warranty and a FREE Servicing Kit (up to $5,555 value) which comes with a pick set, retainers and rotator seals.
Key Features:
Twin Rotating Drums/Cutting Heads: Equipped with twin rotating drums/cutting heads which include replaceable picks for improved lifespan and simplified maintenance. Powered by a high-torque motor for powerful cutting force, the conical roller bearings improve the load capacity and reduce friction. This allows for efficient cutting and grinding of various materials, improving performance and versatility.
Drive Assembly: Includes bearing housing on both the motor side and opposite side, securing the cutting heads with protective covers for the bearings. This enhances durability and reliability, allowing the drum cutter to withstand extreme working conditions, with the protective covers reducing wear and tear on the attachment.
Low Noise and Vibration: Specifically designed and engineered to reduce noise and vibrations, when compared to other alternatives such as rock breakers. This allows operation in areas with noise restrictions, as well as improving operator comfort. It also reduces stress on the attachment and excavator, resulting in improved lifespan and reducing maintenance.
Underwater Operation: Operable underwater up to a depth of 30 metres. This is possible due to the sealed drive motor and components, which have water-resistant housing. Tackle underwater projects with ease, allowing for greater versatility.
Rotating or Stationary Models: Available in both rotating or stationary configurations. The rotating model includes 360-degree continuous rotation to allow for precise control and manoeuvrability. Meanwhile the stationary option provides better stability.
Customisable: A wide variety of customisation options are available, including custom drum sizes, specialised picks, enhanced bearing systems and the choice between rotating or stationary models.
