Cold planers have quick changing special drums

Dynapac’s 500mm (19.7-inch) wide, three- or four-wheeled compact cold planers – the  PL500T and PL500TD – have a maximum cutting depth of 16 cm (6.3 inches) and 20 cm (7.9 inches), respectively. They can be fitted with a one metre (39.4-inch) conveyor for loading a wheel loader bucket, or with a 5.5m (216.5-inch) conveyor for loading trucks. The hydraulically operated front sealing of the cutter housing, adapted to the shape of the cutting drum, minimizes the accumulation of the milled material, thereby reducing labour time at the end of the cutting track. Special drums for demarcation work and finely spaced cutting drums are easy and quick to change. Smaller drums with an adapted scraper blade and a side cutting wheel are available. An optional parallelogram front axle offers increased traction and wheel control.
