Round attack picks, pick boxes and retaining clips for Epiroc rotary drum cutters and cutter wheels
Several picks – “piece by piece”
For each model of drum cutter, Epiroc offers a range of pick types allowing the best possible solution for each application.
| For example: | ||

2 ER 17/75/70/30 Standard pick head with medium diameter insert, for use in soft to medium hard rock |

6 and additional hard facing, for use in medium to hard abrasive rock |

Pick boxes
Pick boxes welded onto the cutter head determine where and how picks penetrate into the rock. The special attack angle ensures a continuous rotation of the pick, creating a self-sharpening action for the tungsten carbide insert during the cutting action.
The correct angle ensures maximum productivity with minimum wear. Pick boxes are also made from specially heat-treated steel and depending on applications, are available with exchangeable wear sleeves.

Retaining clips
Retaining clips ensure that picks do not fly out of the pick boxes. Various types of retaining clip are available depending on pick type and application area, e.g., retaining collars for soft rock or circlip type systems for hard rock applications.
For quick and easy changing of picks, Epiroc offers the QuickSnap retaining system, which allows picks to be changed in a matter of seconds. This represents a savings of over 50% in time compared with normal circlip or knock-on retainer systems.
