Dynapac Compact Planers to set new Benchmarks in Cold Planing in India
The Dynapac PL350, PL500 and PL1000 are compact cold planers which have milling widths from 0.35 to 1m. Its well-proven design is based on accumulated experience and input from field operators and owners. Available as 4 wheeled units, these models are highly user-friendly and offer high performance, excellent manoeuvrability, and an impressive level of reliability. Dynapac compact planers effortlessly achieve a depth of 200 to 300 mm.
A user-friendly control concept guarantees fast response times and high performance operation. This is important for patching work, when the operator has many small, independent jobs to handle.
The patented hydraulically operated front sealing of the cutter housing, adapted to the shape of the cutting drum, minimizes accumulation of the milled material, thereby reducing labour time at the end of the cutting track.
Powerful engines
The high performance of the Dynapac planers is primarily due to their powerful diesel engines, which offer higher output than engines of planers in similar sizes.Designed with the operator in mind
Considerable attention has been paid to the ergonomic design of the Dynapac planers with, for example, a vibration-minimized operator’s platform. Controls and instrumentation are positioned facing towards the operator for ease of operation and all-round visibility, particularly for viewing the cutting areas.A user-friendly control concept guarantees fast response times and high performance operation.

Flexible quick-change system for drums
Drums can be changed quickly and easily, and there is a range of drums available for different applications, including special drums for demarcation work and fine spaced cutting drums. Smaller drums with an adapted scraper blade and a side cutting wheel are available as options for both new models.Four-wheel operation
The patented parallelogram front axle gives increased traction, reduced wear and tear, and improved wheel control in the case of a height difference for the front wheels.Best in class Turning Radius
The small cutting radius of only 230 mm, unequalled in this class, makes the high performance Dynapac PL500 and PL1000 compact planers very flexible. Milling around manholes, for example, is possible any time and operation in narrow urban areas is as easy as anywhere.Good accessibility for maintenance
As with all new generation Dynapac cold planers, close attention has been paid to the accessibility of the maintenance areas. The Dynapac PL350, PL500 and PL1000 combine compact dimensions with ease of service to meet the needs of maintenance and service personnel.
