The Hydraulic Drum Cutter is a robust attachment used on excavators for milling rock, concrete, or frozen soil. It features rotating drums fitted with cutting teeth that grind the material with high precision. Designed for challenging excavation tasks, drum cutters are ideal in areas where controlled cutting is required, and traditional tools like breakers or blasting are unsuitable.
With its low noise and vibration levels, the hydraulic drum cutter is especially useful in urban environments, near sensitive structures, or in confined spaces.

How the Drum Cutter Excavator Attachment Works
The drum cutter excavator operates via the hydraulic power of the host machine. Here’s a simplified breakdown of how it works:
- Hydraulic Flow Activation: The excavator supplies hydraulic pressure to the cutter head.
- Drum Rotation: Hydraulic motors turn the cutter drums in opposite directions.
- Cutting Teeth Contact: Hardened teeth grind against rock or concrete, chipping away the material.
- Debris Removal: The design ensures that debris is efficiently displaced from the cutting area.
- Operator Control: Rotation speed and torque are adjusted for different materials and project demands.
