There are many other sizes of power cylinder available depending on your application but
the two units shown are the most often used and the most economical for general
purposes.
In a basement digging jobsite where the excavation is in bedrock, we recommend use of a
special drill of diamond drill coring type.

BASIC CONCEPT
The
Power Rock Splitter
is an advanced method of mechanically breaking rock or concrete
using hydraulic power. Utilizing a state-of-the-art design the Power Rock Splitter uses
hydraulic power and specially designed hydraulic rams to split the concrete or bedrock.
This method is useful and efficient and is a more than acceptable alternative at urban job
sites or near industrial plants, historical buildings and municipal facilities where blasting
methods or impact breakers are severely regulated due to vibration, noise, dust or
environmental concern.
The
Power Rock Splitter
is lightweight and the durable power cylinder (ram) makes it easy
to operate.
Reduced Vibration Reduced Noise Reduced Dust
The
Power Rock Splitter
uses hydraulic pressure in 9~12 small pistons to gradually expand
across the diameter of the drilled hole until the material fractures.
The breaking force can
be in excess of 1,200 tons (144,000psi).
There are several mechanical methods available to split rock including the “Darda” system,
“HRS”, expansion methods using chemicals (Brista), gas gun method and Super Wedge
insertion by excavator.
The Power Rock Splitter
has demonstrated time and time again that it
is the safest, most efficient, cost effective, and productive method on the market today.

ADVANTAGES of Power Rock Splitter.
(1) Reduced Vibration –Reduced Noise
With the Power Rock Splitter, vibration and noise are virtually eliminated (Except
for the noise generated by the Core Drill, Crawler Drill or DTH Hammer). Noise
levels can be reduced to between 90-95 Dba utilizing the latest Hydraulic drilling
technology. It can be further reduced to 85 Dba using electric core drilling
technology. As there is little impact involved in the hydraulic drill, and none in the
core drill method there is anything vibration generated.
(2) Precise Control
The equipment is simple and easy to use, shearing clean faces and break is
limited to very exact specifications. No over break occurs and no micro fractures are
created in the host rock that might later result in “loose sloughing off”.
The power cylinder is lighter than other types of hydraulic jacks and the operator
/worker can manage the power cylinder fairly easily. This contributes to increased
productivity as the operator / worker is not as prone to physical fatigue.
