Cutting technology

Ideally tuned components for greater machine productivity

The goal of every construction measure is to achieve high-quality results.

This applies to road reconstruction in the use of cold milling and cold recyclers as well as in soil stabilization and in mining useful minerals with surface miners.

Optimal interplay between the drum, pick holder and pick is essential for precise, efficient pavement processing.

WIRTGEN is the market leader in cutting technology, and it offers customers ideally tuned, high-performance cutting systems. In addition, WIRTGEN is constantly developing its cutting technology further. It is informed, in particular, by experience in practice and feedback from our customers.

Round shaft picks and cutting tools

During the milling process, round shaft picks and cutting tools break up the surface and granulate it into small pieces of reusable material.

Toolholder systems

Two crucial aspects of precise and productive milling and cutting are absolute stability and wear resistance of the cutting tools. In the rugged WIRTGEN toolholder systems, the picks are firmly anchored.

Wirtgen, the cold milling machine specialist, is boosting milling efficiency in the long-term with its new large milling machine generation

Reliable intelligence

Wirtgen’s 220 SM 3.8/220 SMi 3.8 surface miner selectively mines raw materials up to a cutting depth of 350 mm and a uniaxial compressive strength of 35 MPa.

Maximum Performance in Soft Rock

Wirtgen’s PCD cutters have a tip made of artificial diamond material and produce an exceedingly uniform milled surface.

PCD Tip: Improved Durability

With a cutting width of 2.2 m and a cutting depth of up to 300 mm, the 220 SM/ 220 SMi can extract raw materials up to a uniaxial compressive strength of 50 MPa.

The New Wirtgen 220 SM/220 SM

From now on, the class leader W 150 CF/W 150 CFi can also be equipped with a 1,800-mm milling drum assembly. Customers therefore profit from a wider range of applications.
