The company states that the Shark PDC rock reamer "was born out of a simple concept, to enable a rapid change of cutters on-site, minimising downtime". The new design means that a new segment can be fitted and the whole unit back up and running in a matter of minutes.

Additional features of the new reamer include replaceable cutter segments supplied in kit form with everything the user needs to replace a segment. The cutters are designed to be changed on-site with hand tools and all cutter segments are interchangeable no matter which position they are required on the blade. The cutter segments are also the same no matter what size of the reamer and push and pull configurations are available, too.

Infinity is making the Shark available in sizes from 14in to 48in.
