au blogs root cutters

Is your drain blocked?

For this frustrating problem you will need to identify where and what is blocking the drain.
All kinds of nasties lurk within drains along with drain breakages.
Firstly, you need to discover the problem.
This is where a Drain Camera can assist in finding the precise location of the blockage within the pipe.

So where to from there you might ask?

Well, once your Plumber has identified that your drain is blocked by tree roots, silt, rubbish or other particles, there are a couple of different methods you can use to clear the blockage.
Spartan Tools has an impressive range of drain root saws and cutter tools which have been made specifically for this purpose. Spartan Root Cutter tools can effectively clear out a variety of blockages and even totally search and destroy the larger and stronger blockage complications.


Let's introduce the 
O'Brien's Root Cutter:

The monster of the group is the commercial quality and all-powerful Black Toolbox.
Within this box you will find the high-powered and high-performance root cutter. This menace of a unit is able to transform your sewer jetter into a highly powered and performing cleaning system.
The O’Brien is designed to fit into larger pipes 152mm-457mm in diameter and is able to deliver 2000 PSI of operating pressure at a 35-60 GPM flow rate. It is a high-quality machine which allows you to effectively clean and unclog your sewer pipes by chewing and destroying any thick and stubborn tree roots and blockages in its path.

The  O’Brien is self-propelled with removable, quick-change skids and connects to a 19mm or 25mm hose.
It has instant-lube fitting which allows for fast and easy lubrication without the need to completely disassemble the machine. The unit is lightweight enough for it to be transported to any location.

You can also purchase a large range of 
spiral Saw Cutters
 for this tool.



A medium-duty Root Cutter is available which is perfect for those smaller pipes and
really hard to get into places.

The 468 Root Cutter:

This is a medium-duty hydraulic cutter which gives superior performance and greater strength to totally eradicating your drain blockages and for sewer root cutting.

It transforms your jetter into a high-powered cleaning system as it effectively clears obstructions, most notably the stubborn tree roots that cause severe blockages.
It effectively clears out the sewer and drain lines from 101mm to 254mm.
This root cutter fits into pipes from 101mm-254mm in diameter and delivers 800-2000 PSI of operating pressure at a10-15 GPM flow rate. It connects to 9mm, 12mm, 19mm, or 25mm hose and has an operating distance of 121m.

The 468 Root Cutter is self-propelled and includes removable, low-profile skids which can be positioned into lines without having to enter the manhole. The drain cutter's instant lube-fitting allows for easy lubrication without disassembly. Not only a great safety feature, but time-saving in the field.
With the O'Brien Root Cutter 468, there are two special bypass orifice grease fittings: a red standard one for when operating from 800 PSI (57 bars) to under 1500 PSI (140 bars) and a plain finish high pressure one for when operating at 1500 PSI (103 bars) to 2000 PSI (140 bars).

The 468 Root Cutter comes complete with 3 different sized  
spiral Saw Cutters
.



O’Brien’s Spiral Saw Cutters:

These super-strong and effective saw cutters can be purchased separately in a range of different sizes to suit your pipe entry. The O’Brien’s spiral saw cutters are a full-circle design with teeth on both sides of the blade for cutting while moving back and forward.
A range of Spiral Saw blades for BOTH machines are available in 152mm, 203mm, 254mm, 304mm and 381mm sizes. They are specially designed to be more compact in design and offer easy changeability from size to size.

Spartan Spiral Saw Cutter 152mm:
The 152mm Spartan Spiral Saw Cutter is made out of heavy-duty metal and is ideal for the tougher jobs that require a bit more force. It is designed to work with the O'Brien Root Cutter. The circular blade is deadly enough to slice through those thick stubborn roots that clog most of our drainpipes. This 152mm blade is designed for straight and/or gentle sweeping lines and will not be able to traverse elbows. The saw cutter allows for a pipeline clearance of12mm and its skid assemblies have been designed to be smaller than the cutter blades. This allows the unit to pass through the opening cut by the saw blade.

Spartan Spiral Saw Cutter 203mm:
Feel confident in hacking away at those nasty roots that are clogging up the drainpipes. This is a tough and durable blade that doesn't back down from the challenge. It allows for a 12mm clearance in the pipeline. The skid assemblies are engineered to be smaller than the cutter blades in order to allow the unit to easily pass through the opening cut by the saw blade. The saw cutter attaches to the motor shaft of the root cutter via a woodruff key and bolt and nut arrangement.

Spartan Spiral Saw Cutter 254mm:
The 254mm Spartan Spiral Saw Cutter blade slices through the tougher and stronger roots, resulting in unclogging the drainpipe. This larger saw cutter is durable and made from strong metal. The skid assemblies are smaller than the cutter blade to allow the unit to easily pass through the opening cut by the saw blade. Once inside the pipe, there is a 12mm clearance which assists any debris and/or larger items to be successfully moved through the pipe. The saw cutter stays firmly attached to the O'Brien Root Cutter using a bolt that is secured with a lock washer and nut. This prevent the cutter from pulling off when you withdraw it, giving you peace of mind in a delicate situation.

Spartan 41306606 Spiral Saw Cutter 304mm:
The 304mm Spiral Saw Cutter is particularly strong and agile, allowing you to search fully into the blocked pipe. It is most useful for extracting the more stubborn roots that are responsible for pipe cracks and breakages. The saw cutter easily attaches onto the O'Brien Root Cu's motor shaft by means of a woodruff key and a bolt and nut arrangement. Once the saw has been inserted, the bolt prevents the cutter from being pulled off when you are withdrawing the unit.

Spartan 41306607 Spiral Saw Cutter 381mm:
This larger Spiral Saw Cutter offers you confidence in dealing with very stubborn roots which block the drain. It will work hard everytime, over and over again. Not too much will escape this tough and durable saw. It is easily attached onto the O'Brien Root Cutter's motor shaft by means of a woodruff key and a bolt and nut arrangement. Once the saw has been inserted, the bolt prevents the cutter from being pulled off when you are withdrawing the unit.
