The Powerful Rock Splitter is a larger, more powerful version of Hirado’s renowned Rock Splitter.
Used on excavators, cranes or other carriers with hydraulics, applications include the breaking of rocks and concrete foundations.
Hirado’s Rock Splitter has been in use since 1980 in construction sites in Japan and worldwide and is renowned for its quality, durability and extreme power.
Restrictions for blasting rock are getting stricter worldwide, prompting users to find a safer solution.
Altough Rock Breaker/Hammers can be a solution, noise,vibration, dust regulations or simply the hardness of the rock may prevent the the use of them.
The wedge principle (Shown on the right and below) works by adding power to the A direction, resulting in the power transferred to the B direction to become
even larger. The eventual direction power and splitting distance of B are decided by the counter wedge angle.
Hirado’s Powerful Rock Splitter makes full use of this principle by using the hydraulic pressure to push into the A direction and generate splitting powers up to 3600 ton
Hirado’s Powerful Rock Splitter is the solution to all of these problems as it is safe, vibration free, dust free and extremely powerful.
The wedges of the Powerful Rock Splitter are specially designed to endure extreme power and last long. In addition to the standard wedges, customized wedges can be produced as well to suit the needs of the user.
Operation of the Powerful Rock Splitter is simple and it can be attached to a majority of excavators (7 ton+)
