APOLLO 2285592 Milling Drum FB2400 Road Milling Machine Cutting Drum for WR240i Asphalt Recycling

This replacement milling drum is built for the WR240i road milling and cold recycling machine and is referenced under part numbers 2285592 and 2209684, with the drum family designation FB2400. It is a complete drum assembly: steel drum body, welded tool holder blocks and tungsten carbide picks, ready to mount on the machine and return it to production.

The drum is the highest-wear assembly on a milling machine. Picks blunt, holders wear at the bore, and the drum body gradually loses balance. A worn drum shows up as increased machine vibration, rising fuel consumption, uneven cutting depth and a rougher milled surface that requires more asphalt to fill. Replacing the complete assembly restores cutting efficiency and protects the machine's bearing and drive components.

• Complete assembly, direct fit – drum body, holder blocks and picks supplied together so the machine is not left waiting for separate components.
• Balanced drum body – machined and dynamically balanced for high-speed rotation, reducing vibration and the load carried by the rotor bearings.
• Optimised holder pattern – block spacing and spiral layout keep cutting resistance even, improve material flow to the conveyor and promote uniform pick wear.
• Wear-resistant steel body – high-strength alloy steel shell resists abrasion from milled asphalt and aggregate, extending service life between rebuilds.
• Tungsten carbide picks – round-shank picks with carbide tips hold their edge in asphalt, concrete and stabilised base material.
• Serviceable design – holder blocks allow pick and block replacement in the field, so the drum can be rebuilt rather than scrapped.

The drum is used for full-depth and partial-depth milling of asphalt pavements, surface profiling before overlay, and cold recycling of bound base layers. Because the pick layout is matched to the machine's original cutting geometry, milled depth control, cross-slope and grade follow the machine's own automation without recalibration.

Typical users are road maintenance contractors, rental fleets and municipal road departments running high annual milling hours, where the cost per square metre of milled surface matters more than the initial parts price.

Support the drum, release the drive-side coupling and bearing housing bolts, withdraw the worn assembly and clean the mounting faces before fitting the new drum. Tighten to the machine manufacturer's torque values, check rotor end play and confirm free rotation by hand before start-up.

During the first hours of operation, run the machine at moderate advance speed and monitor vibration, pick retention and cutting depth consistency. Re-torque the mounting bolts after the first shift, then verify pick rotation weekly. Replace individual picks as soon as the carbide tip is worn flat, and inspect holder bore wear at every pick change; this is the cheapest way to protect the drum body.

The assembly is shipped on a seaworthy export pallet with steel strapping, rust-proof coating on machined faces and protective caps on the bearing areas. Delivery is 5 to 8 weeks after payment confirmation, depending on production schedule; stock availability can be confirmed on request. Payment terms include T/T and L/C.

The milling drum 2285592 / 2209684 for the WR240i machine restores cutting efficiency, reduces vibration and delivers a cleaner milled surface at a fraction of the cost of a dealer-supplied assembly. For contractors who measure cost per square metre, it is a practical spare that keeps the milling train working.
