READY-MADE SOLUTIONS
Did you know? It’s not the power (kW) of a cutting unit / cutting head but the pick force that counts for effective cutting! Modern cutting units have sturdy spur gears powered by high-torque hydraulic motors. Only transverse cutting units by TEREX | Schaeff have transmissions with gear reduction that boost cutting power. This feature is protected by European Patent No. EP084146 B1 and US Patent No. 6,158,818.

CUTTING TECHNOLOGY
TEREX | Schaeff transverse cutting units meet state-of-the-art engineering standards and are constantly updated in close co-operation with technical universities. An optimum configuration and pick selection guarantee a high cutting performance and low pick wear. Designed for smooth running, low vibration, and equipment-friendly operation, our transverse cutting units are geared to optimum material crushing comminution.

PRODUCTIVITY
The wide selection of drum and pick types means that TEREX cutting units can cut a wide range of rock types and strengths. Cutting performance depends mainly on rock hardness (compressive strength), toughness (tensile strength), and the content of abrasion-resistant minerals. As rock usually contains natural breakage lines or inclusions, even very hard rocks can be excavated successfully and economically. The cutting performance data shown in the chart are based on our experience.
