The cutter head is the rotating cutting assembly at the front of a foundation drilling machine. It excavates soil and rock to create boreholes for foundation piles, diaphragm walls, or other deep foundation elements.
Cutter heads are typically made from high-strength alloy steel (e.g., 42CrMo), with tungsten carbide teeth or picks for cutting, and abrasion-resistant steel plate for wear protection.
Cutter head diameters typically range from 800 to 3000 mm, depending on the required borehole diameter. The number of cutters varies from 4 to 12, with more cutters for harder rock.
The cutter head is rotated by the drilling machine's rotary drive while downward force is applied. Cutting teeth break up the ground, and drilling fluid flushes cuttings to the surface. Mixing paddles may homogenize soil with fluid for CFA piles.
