Cutters heads

The basic IHC cutter skeleton consists of a hub, a ring and several curved arms that link the hub and ring together.
The adapters with teeth or replaceable cutting edges are fitted on the front side of the cutter arm.
Optimised arm profile, spacing and size, and tooth location and orientation mean top production and minimal downtime figures.

Standard

With replaceable cutting edges:

  • plain form - best results in peat and soft clay, but also if the bottom contains roots, cabling, and other objects that may block up the cutter
  • serrated edges - for hard clay, compact sand and gravel bottoms because of higher penetration effect

Customized

Various optional parts further improve productivity or lifetime:

  • root cutters
  • stone grids
  • skirts - a protection against backring wear and plates for arm extension.
