plastic explosive is placed in the frame with a directional<br />

explosive effect, a copper material that cuts through the<br />

roof, foam plastic that holds the component parts together,<br />

and tape for adhesion to the underlayer.<br />

Hydraulic powered eccentric cutting machines have the<br />

large advantage that the blade works eccentrically, i.e. the<br />

driving does not take place in the centre of the blade. The<br />

blade can therefore work in material with a depth greater<br />

than the radius of the blade (typical working depth approx.<br />

25 cm). It can work in most materials. The disadvantage of<br />

the machine is that it requires hydraulic power by means of<br />

a separate hydraulic unit, and that it requires cooling.<br />

Water cutting involves using water at high pressure to cut<br />

an opening in a structure. The pressure can vary, depending<br />

on the equipment, from 200 to 300 bar. The water fl ow<br />

normally varies from 25 l/min. to 50 l/min. An abrasive<br />

additive (cutting agent) is often needed to cut through hard<br />

materials (roof materials etc.). A cooling and suppression<br />

effect is also achieved in conjunction with making an opening.<br />

Equipment for water cutting can normally cut<br />

through all the materials commonly found.<br />
