DL Ricci Clamshell Cutters

DLR (DL Ricci) Clamshell Cutters from Enerpac remain true to the pioneering designs that made DL Ricci the go-to brand for machinists worldwide.

Outstanding performance and a comprehensive product line-up means they’re used extensively for applications for new construction, maintenance, and decommissioning.

These highly portable machines (sometimes referred to as clamshell lathes, or split frame cutters) are highly effective for cold cutting pipe, beveling, counterboring and facing.

The Enerpac range of clamshell cutters is split into three product ranges:

Featuring a narrow body – lightweight and ideal for use when space is tight.

DLR-NB-Series Narrow Body Clamshell Cutters are constructed with a lower profile to reduce weight and increase functionality in confined spaces. The range covers outside pipe diameters ranging from 2 to 36" (51 to 914 mm).

These split frame clamshell cutters can be specified with pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric drive options, and each accepts a wide range of accessories to increase performance and widen their capabilities.

Each machine uses a patented fully adjustable heavy-duty bearing design for greater serviceability and an increased life. They remain true to the pioneering designs that made DL Ricci the go-to brand for machinists worldwide.

Mid-sized and suited to a wide range of general-purpose pipe cutting and weld preparation operations.

The DL Ricci MS-Series (Mid-Size) Clamshell Cutters are the optimum choice for general-purpose pipe cutting and beveling applications.

They weigh less than the DLR-HD heavy-duty machines but provide greater rigidity than the DLR-NB (narrow body) machines. DLR-MS Clamshell Cutters cover outside pipe diameters ranging from 4.125" all the way up to 48.25" (104.8mm - 1225.6mm).

Each uses a patented fully adjustable heavy-duty bearing design for greater serviceability and increased life. These split frame clamshell cutters can be specified with several drive configurations - allowing the motor to be attached in various positions.

They accept a wide range of accessories that increase performance and expand capabilities.
