The larger sibling of the disc mulcher is the drum mulcher. With a drum mulcher, the attachment will rotate a horizontally-held drum that, when viewed from the front, rotates from top to bottom rather than a blade carrier that spins horizontally.
The actual size of the drum varies depending on the brand and model of the mulcher, but a drum that is 60″ wide and 13″ in diameter is quite typical. Typically, there will be 30 to 40 teeth for cutting. A piston motor will either drive the drum directly or indirectly through a belt.
The hydraulic requirements of a drum mulcher are extremely high due to the size of the drum, typically requiring more hydraulic horsepower than a disc mulcher. This means that operating a drum mulcher frequently calls for high-flow hydraulics and high PSI. A drum has less inertia than a disc because it is more compact.
As a result, a drum mulcher might be more likely to slow down while actively mulching, but it might also accelerate quickly again after backing off. Drum mulchers are frequently the ideal option if you frequently have to operate close to sensitive regions, such as lakes, sparsely populated areas, electricity lines, etc.
In contrast to a disc mulcher, the drum mulcher dumps the mulch vertically, as opposed to horizontally, lowering the possibility of contamination or harm to neighboring structures.
The Global Drum Mulcher market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
Two new drum mulching heads for midi excavators and tractors have been launched by Diamond Mowers, a provider of industrial mowing, mulching, and brush cutting equipment for municipal, skid-steer, and excavator sectors.
The following products to be introduced to the Diamond Mowers portfolio of mulching attachments for professionals in vegetation control are the excavator drum mulcher DC Pro X and boom drum mulcher. The new excavator drum mulcher offers more productivity each pass and may be used with midi-excavators.
This approach, which was developed to deal with mulching or brush removal, reduces and processes undesired vegetation, making it useful for clearing land, managing vegetation, maintaining utilities, and maintaining roadside infrastructure.
