Professional contractors specialising in large scale precision cutting
and demolition projects can benefit from the new range of Titan high
frequency wall saws.

THESE WERE INTRODUCED
to the local
market in June 2013 by Diamond Products
– a leading specialist in the manufacture,
assembly and sale of diamond tools and
equipment for industrial applications. Direc-
tor Darryl Gray reveals that the technologi-
cally advanced Titan high frequency wall
saws can be diagnostically tested and even
repaired using mobile phone technology.
"In the event of failure, Diamond Products is
able to log in directly into the Titan control
unit by means of the telediagnostic service
and telemaintenance system via mobile
communication, in order to detect and ad-
dress the cause of failure."
This technologically advanced system
allows for parameters to be modified for
special applications, and also allows for the
latest programme versions of the automatic
control system to be transmitted to any
control unit, regardless of time or location.
“The remote system also has tracking ca-
pabilities, thereby reducing losses related
to theft," adds Gray.
Diamond Products co-director Brian Clark
highlights the fact that the Austrian-manu-
factured Titan wall saws boast a far greater
life expectancy than competitor electric wall
saws, thanks to a unique low motor speed
design. "The motor speed is just 6 500 rpm,
compared to the industry standard of 30 000
rpm, thereby ensuring a significant reduction
in maintenance and service costs."
With high torque and lower speeds, the
Titan range of high frequency wall saws can
accommodate blades of up to 2 000mm in di-
ameter, with highperformance andprecision.
Clark notes that theTitanwall saws operate at
maximumprecisionusingARIXG2XDiamond
blades, in which diamonds are aligned in an
almost grid-like systemto allow for consistent
drilling and sawing speeds.
Gray explains that another unique aspect
of the Titan high frequency wall saws is that
they can accommodate a drive pulley for
wire sawing applications, through specialised
pulley and storage attachments, which elimi-
nates the need for large and costlymachines.
Wall saw range launched
According to Clark, the blade and the feed
operations are electrically driven bymotors
ranging between 11 kw and 22 kw, thereby
eliminating the need for costly and bulky
hydraulic power packs on site. Clark believes
that the Titan high frequency range of wall
saws will gain measurable market share
across Africa in the short term. "Investment
in infrastructural development is continu-
ing to increase at an exponential rate. I am
confident that the Titan range will be seen
as a viable solution," he concludes.
