Epiroc ER 1500 Drum Cutter for 20 to 40 ton carriers

Epiroc AB, a subsidiary of Atlas Copco Group, has introduced the ER 1500 Drum Cutter excavator attachment at World of Concrete. The powerful transverse drum cutter is ideal for tunnelling, special foundation work, demolition and soil mixing, and features an integrated dust suppression system to help maximize safety.

“The ER 1500 is designed for maximum efficiency to help our customers increase productivity and lower costs,” said Rich Elliott, Epiroc product manager – Hydraulic Attachments. “In addition, we’ve integrated a simple and efficient dust control system that promotes operator safety and regulatory compliance.”

Features that make the ER 1500 reliable, long-lasting and low-maintenance include a highly efficient, powerful and robust drivetrain, secure attachment of cutter drums, rigid and wear-resistant gear housing as well as pick boxes with hardened wear sleeves.

ER 1500 cutter heads are designed to provide optimum cutting power at the recommended rotation speed of 75 rpm. They ensure a smooth cutting action while providing each pick with the maximum cutting power to penetrate the rock.
