Estimating hourly production with the SIMEX calculator

Buying new equipment can be expensive and, as with all important business decisions, it’s a good idea to get expert advice.

SIMEX team of experts at the SIMEX Factory in Italy have launched a tool that will help customers calculate the theoretical hourly production if using SIMEX high performance Drum Cutters.

The calculator will recommend the most suitable cutter head model, according to the material customers need to work with.

SIMEX Drum Cutters can cover a wide area of applications, starting from trenching in the road sector, passing through the vertical profiling of concrete or rock walls in the construction and infrastructural field, up to the heaviest uses for quarrying or tunnelling.

The Drum Cutters are highly effective where conventional excavation systems are too weak and percussion systems have little effect.

The Drum Cutters showcase their full versatility in mining and quarry works, not only ensuring selective breaking of the rock mass for wall stability open pit extraction, but increasing profitability, producing a crushed material that often doesn’t require further crushing by additional equipment.

Available in a range of models to suit 2.5 to 75 tonne excavators, designed to meet the performance demands of mines, quarries and tunnels, the Drum Cutters can be used to cut through varied degrees of rock hardness.

Their quiet operation and low vibration emission, allows them to be put to work near sensitive areas (residential zones, hospitals, schools, bridges and infrastructure).

SIMEX Drum Cutters are an ideal solution for finishing operations, where high precision, minimum disturbance and optimum aesthetic results are required.
