Summary: Breaking
concrete and rock
Hydraulic hammers, also known as hydraulic breakers or
rock breakers, are powerful percussion tools fitted to hydraulic excavators and
other heavy equipment. Their primary function is to break down hard materials
like rock, concrete, and asphalt through a series of high-impact blows.
Function: Hydraulic hammers use hydraulic pressure to power a piston that strikes a tool (or "tooling") with significant force. This repeated hammering action fractures the material.
Applications: They are widely used in:
* Demolition: Breaking up
concrete structures, foundations, and walls.
* Construction: Breaking rock
for excavation, trenching, and site preparation.
* Mining and Quarrying: Breaking
down rock for extraction.
* Roadwork: Breaking asphalt for
road repair or removal.
Types: Hydraulic hammers vary in size and power, depending on the application. They can be mounted on various carriers, including excavators, skid steer loaders, and backhoe loaders, providing versatility on the job site.
