Operation of Floating-Hammer Brushcutter Heads
Unlike fixed-hammer brushcutter heads, which have the hammers rigidly mounted on a rotor, floating-hammer brushcutter heads have articulated hammers that adapt to the ground surface. This allows the hammers to hit the vegetation uniformly and effectively.
Advantages of Floating-Hammer Brushcutter Heads for Excavators
Ground adaptability
Floating-hammer brushcutter heads adapt to the ground surface, allowing uniform and effective brushcutting even on uneven or hilly terrain.
Machine protection
By adapting to the terrain, the floating hammers reduce the impact on the excavator, minimising wear and tear on the machine.
Cutting efficiency
Floating hammers strike vegetation with greater precision, increasing cutting efficiency and reducing energy consumption.
Less vibration
By not being rigidly mounted, floating hammers generate less vibration, which improves operator comfort and reduces fatigue.
Applications of Floating-Hammer Brushcutter Heads
Forestry
For forest clearance, shredding of bushes with small branch diameters and clearing of sloping areas or areas with obstacles.
Infrastructure maintenance
For the removal of weeds and vegetation on power lines, roadsides and railways, especially in areas with slopes.
Clearing of agricultural areas
For the removal of weeds, bushes and shrubs in agricultural fields and grazing areas, even on uneven terrain.
Land reclamation
For shredding plant waste and preparing land for reforestation or revegetation in sloping or hilly areas.
Choosing the Right Floating-Hammer Brushcutter Head for Your Excavator
The choice of the right floating-hammer brushcutter head will depend on the specific needs of the job, the type of terrain and vegetation to be cleared, and the power of the excavator:
Cutting capacity
The head must have a cutting capacity sufficient for the maximum diameter of the vegetation to be cleared.
Head weight and available flow
The weight of the head must be compatible with the load capacity of the excavator and the available flow must be sufficient to drive the head.
Type of hammers
There are different types of floating hammers with different shapes and materials, depending on the type of vegetation and terrain to be cleared.
Mounting options
The head must be compatible with the mounting system of the excavator.
