EK 110 | Infrastructure Excavator Chain Cutter
Multi-Purpose Chain Cutting for Demanding Civil Projects (25–32 t)
- Reduces energy consumption by up to 40%
- handles materials with compressive strengths up to 80 MPa
- Designed for low noise and vibration
- Provides narrow trenches with precise profiles
The EK 110 Infrastructure Excavator Chain Cutter is positioned within the EK Chain Cutters range as a versatile civil-engineering tool, not a single-purpose trenching attachment. Built on KEMROC’s patented chain cutting technology, EK 110 is designed to deliver controlled, continuous cutting across multiple excavation tasks where accuracy, stability, and low vibration are essential.
Mounted on 25–32 ton excavators, EK 110 operates at a controlled rotation speed of 65 rpm, delivering continuous cutting force of up to 49 kN. This balance allows operators to maintain steady progress across varying ground conditions—without overloading the carrier or sacrificing accuracy.
With a cutting capability in materials up to 80 MPa UCS, EK 110 is commonly used in infrastructure projects where ground conditions vary along the same site, and flexibility is just as important as cutting power.

Why Choose the EK 110 Chain Cutter?
Designed for Civil Engineering Versatility
With cutting widths ranging from 600 to 800 mm and a cutting depth of nearly 2.0 meters, EK 110 adapts easily to different excavation geometries—reducing attachment changes across the same project.
Low Vibration for Sensitive Project Environments
Operating at 65 rpm instead of high-speed impact cycles, the EK 110 cutting system minimizes vibration peaks transmitted to the excavator structure—supporting use near existing infrastructure and finished surfaces.
Balanced Performance for Mid-Heavy Excavators
A rated power of 110 kW combined with a recommended oil flow of 250 l/min keeps the attachment within the optimal hydraulic window of mid-heavy excavators.
• Maximum torque: 19500 Nm at 400 bar • Maximum cutting force: 49 kN These values allow EK 110 to cut efficiently while maintaining predictable material engagement, avoiding the shock loads typical of impact tools.
• Recommended oil flow: 250 l/min • Maximum oil flow: 300 l/min This range ensures compatibility with common civil-engineering excavators used across infrastructure and utility projects.
• Pick box type: PH 32 HD • Cutter drum picks: 28 / 40 / 48 • Cutter chain picks: 54 The pick configuration supports even wear distribution in variable ground conditions, extending service life when switching between applications.
Main Applications of the EK 110 Infrastructure Excavator Chain Cutter
Infrastructure Trenching
EK 110 chain cutter is widely used for utility corridors, pipeline installation, and cable routes, delivering narrow, accurate trench profiles with minimal overbreak.
Selective Excavation and Profiling
The controlled cutting action allows precise shaping of excavation faces, making EK 110 chain cutter suitable for foundation preparation and profile correction.
Mining of Soft to Medium-Hard Materials
In line with the EK range capabilities, EK 110 can be used for selective mining applications where drilling and blasting are not practical, especially in materials up to 80 MPa UCS.
Concrete Renovation and Structure Cutting
EK 110 supports controlled cutting of concrete surfaces and structures, reducing the need for secondary trimming or finishing.
Underwater and Submerged Cutting
Like all EK chain cutters, EK 110 can operate underwater without modification, making it suitable for submerged excavation and marine-adjacent infrastructure work.
FAQs – EK 110 Chain Cutter
Is EK 110 limited to trenching applications?
No. EK 110 is designed for trenching, selective excavation, profiling, mining, and concrete renovation.
Can EK 110 chain cutter be used underwater?
Yes. Like all EK chain cutters, it can operate underwater without modifications
What type of excavator is required?
EK 110 is designed for 25–32 ton excavators with suitable hydraulic flow.
What materials can EK 110 handle?
Soil, reinforced concrete, and rock formations up to 80 MPa UCS.
What distinguishes EK 110 from EK 100?
EK 110 chain cutter offers higher torque, greater cutting force, and increased hydraulic capacity, making it better suited for infrastructure-scale projects and longer continuous trenching cycles.
