Swing Planers
SIMEX PLB/PHD Self-Levelling Swing Planers
SIMEX Self-Levelling Swing Planers work on horizontal, vertical or sloped surfaces. Due to the swinging support, pivoted on the same rotation axis as the milling drum, the planer maintains a perfect planing surface support in any condition, regardless of the ground contour and the planer's position with respect to the prime mover.
Self Levelling Swing Planers are available in a range of models that reach a maximum width of 600 mm and depth of 250 mm.
High Performance
Hydraulic piston motors with direct cutter drum drive ensure high performance and Self-Levelling system ensures constant planing depth.
Productivity
The patented Performer device optimises the planer's performance according to the forward speed of the operating machine.
Low Maintenance
You can choose from different types of teeth based on application and keep maintenance costs to a minimum since only requirement is the replacement of worn teeth.
Why choose a SIMEX Swing Planer?
The advantages of Simex Self-Levelling Swing Planers are various:
- Self-Levelling system (Simex patent) ensures constant planing depth
- Mill on horizontal, vertical or sloped surfaces
- Independent RH-LH depth adjustment
- Hydraulic side shift ensures perfect surfaces with side-by-side passes
- Drums in different widths and teeth available for various applications
- Maximum safety and optimal visibility for the operator
Applications and Features
SIMEX PLB/PHD range of swing planers are ideal for the following applications due to its innovative features that make the work faster and safer.
- Asphalt or concrete removal in preparation for trenching or later resurfacing
- Vault planing for creating tracks and recesses in tunnels to accommodate cables or pipes
- PLB/PHD planers ensure scarification depth and uniformity along the tunnel profile
- Footpath milling
Self-Levelling system and Independent depth adjustment
With the SIMEX Swing Planers you can maintain constant milling depth in any condition regardless of the ground contour as lateral slides on the planer automatically align to the milling surface.
The independent depth adjustment (PLB 350 and PHD 450) on RH and LH sides combined with the self-levelling system ensures perfectly flat surfaces with side-by-side passes.

Milling in the most difficult spots and flush to walls
Due to the hydraulic side shift, it is possible to work in both central and lateral position which makes SIMEX PLB/PHD planer ideal for application where milling flush to the wall is required.
360° Hydraulic rotation (optional) is activated from the cabin allowing milling in any position, even in the most difficult-to-reach spots.

Optimised milling with 'Performer'
Mounted in an ergonomic position, easy to view from the operator cabin, the patented Performer device optimises the planer's performance according to the forward speed of the operating machine. This results in:
- increase in productivity
- reduced downtime
- easier work for the operator
