Axial Drum Cutters: Axial Cutting and Single Drum Cutter

In-line Single Drum Cutter

Rockwheel axial single‐drum cutters are utilized when traditional twin drum cutters are either too wide or not properly oriented for the grinding task. When vertical holes or a narrower cut are required an axial cutterhead can do the trick. 

These rock and concrete cutters have the same power as their twin drum counterparts but with all the power concentrated on a single drum, so look out! A typical application is grinding concrete piles/columns or any demolition job where vertical cutting is required. Other applications include grinding holes into rock, narrow trenching, mixing (when equipped with special mixing blades), trimming arched profiles, mining and tunneling.
