Rapid Rotary Cutter – Steel
Circumferential cutters specifically designed to cut either ductile/cast iron mains or steel mains up to 300mm (12″) in diameter. An NIA development project with Wales & West Utilities, approved by all UK gas distribution networks.
- Speed – extremely quick cutting time. Approximately 2 mins to cut a (4″) ductile main and 6 mins to cut a 4″ steel main
- Versatile– ideal for use in both live mains insertion and dead insertion projects
- Quick assembly – the two shells can be connected over the main in seconds
- Adaptable – One unit for all five sizes using different frames; 75mm/100mm, 150mm and 200mm, 250mm and 300mm (3″/4″, 6″,8″, 10″ and 12″)
- Ease of use – Compact, lightweight and simple to use – one man operation
- Convenient – Needs smaller trench than traditional cutters – less than 10cm clearance needed around the main
- Safety – The cutting blade is mounted away from operator’s hand
- Precise – Depth control discs prevent damage to inserted PE
- Water line incorporated to prevent, sparking and suppress dust (full PPE including face masks must be worn)
