  • Patent number: 8118370
    Abstract: The milling head which serves for the machining of the head of a pile consisting of a pile core, a pile shaft and a metal reinforcement lying therebetween comprises a coupling device that can be connected to a drive shaft and a plurality of picks that are used to remove concrete. According to the invention a central milling cutter provided with a plurality of central picks and an annular milling cutter provided with a plurality of annular picks are fixedly coupled with each other and arranged coaxially with the longitudinal axis of the drive shaft. The central picks are arranged within a central circular ring and the annular picks, separated by a middle circular ring, are arranged in an outer circular ring whereby the circular rings lie at least approximately perpendicular to and concentric with the longitudinal axis of the drive shaft.

  • Publication number: 20100109420
    Abstract: The milling head (1) which serves for the machining of the head (80) of a pile (8) consisting of a pile core (81), a pile shaft (82) and a metal reinforcement lying therebetween comprises a coupling device (13) that can be connected to a drive shaft (2) and a plurality of picks (111, 121) that are used to remove concrete. According to the invention a central milling cutter (11) provided with a plurality of central picks (111) and an annular milling cutter (12) provided with a plurality of annular picks (121) are fixedly coupled with each other and arranged coaxially with the longitudinal axis (x) of the drive shaft (2). The central picks (111) are arranged within a central circle (kr1) and the annular picks (121), separated by a middle circle (kr2), are arranged in an outer circle (kr3), whereby the circles (kr1, kr3) lie at least approximately perpendicular to and concentric with the longitudinal axis (x) of the drive shaft (2).
