Why replace?
Abrasion & Passivation:
During use, the cutter head will rub against various substances (such as grease, tree roots, sand, etc.) inside the pipe, resulting in gradual wear and passivation of the cutter bit. Passivated cutter heads are not only inefficient, but they may also not be effective in removing blockages, making the job more difficult and time-consuming.
Maintain Cleanliness Results:
The sharp cutter head cuts and grinds blockages more efficiently, ensuring unobstructed pipes. Regular replacement of the cutter head ensures the quality and efficiency of the cleaning work and avoids incomplete cleaning due to passivation of the cutter bit.
Avoid damage to pipes:
Passivated cutter heads, when trying to clear stubborn blockages, may increase friction and pressure on the inner walls of the pipe, causing damage or rupture of the pipe. Replacing a sharp bit can reduce the risk of damage to the pipe.
Extend the life of your equipment:
The cutter head is a key component of the drain cleaner, and its performance directly affects the operation and service life of the entire equipment. Regular replacement of the cutter head can keep the equipment in optimal working condition and prolong the service life of the equipment.
Ensuring operational safety:
Cleaning with a passivated bit can increase operational risks, such as equipment jamming due to uncleared blockages or accidental injuries due to improper handling. Replacing the sharp bit can improve the safety and reliability of the operation.
