Line Of Ditch Witch Backreamers Improve Productivity
A line of Ditch Witch backreamers helps underground construction operators improve productivity in specialized soil conditions and installations.
Sandhog HD Backreamer: Designed for sandy and soft soils, the triple-action Sandhog HD backreamer combines aggressive cutting, mixing and packing for more efficient pullback on the job. Bore paths in unstable soil conditions can often collapse or fill with material in the ground. This backreamer uses a barrel-shaped body to better sculpt a true-to-size bore path.
Carbide cutting teeth and spiral plates further improve pullback efficiency and lower torque while maximizing the capacity for fluid flow. The crushed carbide provides longer life to the reamer and replaceable, hardened steel nozzles increase fluid flow flexibility.
Swab Backreamer: The Swab backreamer is specifically designed for rocky and hard soils, and enables direct pullback for Ditch Witch All Terrain HDD rigs. Material left in a bore can damage product when deployed in restricted spaces. This model effectively pre-cleans the bore path by efficiently utilizing fluid flow and the carbide hard surface. Material removal also helps install product without enlarging the path beyond the pilot size. By eliminating the need for an expanded path, the backreamer saves on fluids and time.
EZ Backreamer: For small-diameter installation jobs, the EZ backreamer combines ease of use with effectiveness. It was designed for direct connection to the EZ connect assembly, allowing operators to quickly change out tooling in a fast, safe and efficient manner. The model is equipped for use in soft to medium-hard soil conditions.
