What Makes High-Performance Cutting Picks Essential for Efficient Mining Operations?

2025-12-09

As global mining and tunneling projects continue to demand greater precision and durability, the role of Cutting Picks becomes increasingly critical. At PULANKA ROCK TOOLS CO., LTD., we focus on creating wear-resistant tools engineered to withstand extreme geological conditions. In my daily work with customers, I often explain why selecting the right Cutting Picks directly impacts cutting efficiency, machine lifespan, and overall project productivity. Below, I break down their functions, performance, importance, and selection tips in a structured and practical way.

Cutting Picks


Understanding the Function of Cutting Picks

Cutting picks are carbide-tipped tools designed for roadheaders, shearers, trenchers, and continuous miners. Their primary functions include:

  • Breaking coal, rock, or mineral layers

  • Improving cutting penetration

  • Reducing machine vibration

  • Enhancing energy efficiency


Performance & Benefits

How do Cutting Picks improve operational performance?

Their design combines high-strength steel bodies with premium tungsten carbide tips, offering:

  • High wear resistance

  • Stable cutting trajectories

  • Lower maintenance frequency

  • Strong impact toughness
