Random Roller Cutter

Litian Tools' Random Roller Cutter (also known as RCD Cutter) is a high-performance TCI roller cutter engineered for demanding drilling applications. Without annular grooves on the surface, its tungsten carbide buttons are randomly distributed for optimal rock crushing coverage. Ideal for raise boring equipment as a raise boring cutter or reverse circulation drilling (RCD) setups, this tool delivers superior penetration rates, longer lifespan, and reduced downtime in medium to hard rock formations.

Random RCD Roller Cutter Product Features

1. The back cone adopts spherical buttons, and the main cone adopts conical buttons.

2. Randomly distributed buttons are used to achieve full coverage of the bottom crushing zone.

3. The optional bearings include tapered roller bearings, ball bearings, and thrust roller bearings.

4. Use high-quality metal seals.

5. The roller cutters can be repaired and customized.


Random RCD Roller Cutter Application Parameters

1. Applicable rock hardness: protodyakonov scale of hardness f≤12.

2. Recommended WOB of roller cutter: 100KN~170KN (12″), 60KN~100KN (8″).

3. Maximum WOB (weight on bit): 196KN (12″), 120KN (8″).

4. Recommended cutterhead rotation speed: 3-15 RPM.

5. Maximum linear velocity: 90m/min.
