Bluestar - Raptor Chain Root Cutter
The Raptor Nozzle can be converted from a total blockage remover to a chain cutter with rigid guide skids capable of operating in 4” – 6” sewer lines (1/2” Raptor Chain Cutter) and 6” – 8” sewer lines (1” Raptor Chain Cutter) by unscrewing the drill head and attaching a chain retainer with chains. The Raptor Nozzle is a powerful nozzle capable of removing heavy obstructions caused by roots, grease, or any other solid organic material quickly. Its tempered stainless steel drill head is turbine-driven and spins in the range of 6000 and 12000 rpm, depending on water flow and pressure. The Raptor Nozzle succeeds where standard hydromechanic tools fail!
Root ingrowths are a common problem in sewer systems. In older or damaged pipes in particular, roots from the ground enter the sewer system and often lead to blockages.
Pipe and channel cutters and chain extractors are used to remove such roots. Cutters remove the blockage by mechanically cutting through the roots in the pipe. Foreign bodies and deposits in the pipe invert can also be shredded and removed with cutters to restore the flow.
Before repair work is carried out on sewer systems, cutters are often used to remove obstacles and reach the damaged area.
