Product Detail
HKM DRUM CUTTERS - DC15
HKM DC15 Drum Cutter is a powerful mid-range excavation attachment developed for 10-15 ton excavators, delivering high torque together with precise cutting control. With an operating weight of 720 kg and maximum torque of 8,000 Nm, DC15 maintains dependable performance even in hard rock and frozen ground.
The hydraulic system operates across a 60-140 l/min oil-flow range and requires 50 kW of power, providing balanced and efficient cutting performance. Its 56 picks produce a consistent material size that can be suitable for backfilling after processing.
DC15 is a strong choice for infrastructure, road and tunneling projects in demanding ground conditions. Low vibration and reduced noise improve operator comfort while helping limit disturbance on urban worksites.
A 475 mm drum diameter, 355 mm single drum width and 830 mm cutting width allow wider surfaces to be processed efficiently in road, infrastructure and tunneling applications. The larger working envelope supports both accurate profiling and higher daily production on mid-size carriers.
