Clearing vegetation along railway embankments or road sides - involves rotary cutter on free end of articulated arm mounted on turntable on mobile vehicle

摘要

The machine carrier (4) is mounted on wheels and runs on rails. An articulated arm (5) is in two parts (5',5''), and the first part (5') is pivoted at its lower end on a motorised axle (6,6'). Its upper end is attached by motorised pivot (8,9) to the second part (5''), and on the free end of the second part the cutter aggregate (10) is fixed. The cutter aggregate consists of a rotating roller (13) revolving on an axle (14) with a number of cutter blades (15) fixed obliquely around its periphery. An anvil cutter (16) is suspended by a holder (17) from the common axle (14) and this can be fixed radially (A) or tangentially (B). USE/ADVANTAGE - The bushes alongside a railway line are cut and simultaneously comminuted for easy disposal.
