ERC drum cutter range

The ERC range from Erkat represents a new generation of revolving rotary drum cutters that extends significantly the number of applications suitable for transverse drum cutters.

ER-L range

Longitudinal drum cutters are driven by a powerful radial piston motor creating extremely high cutting forces. The robust cutter drums together with their secure fixing method enable them to operate in the most demanding conditions. Consoles can be supplied with different lengths to suit a variety of applications.

ADU range

ADU auger drive units are almost indestructible, high performance drives that have proven themselves many times while successfully drilling holes in medium hard limestone with 60 MPa compressive strength.
