What are rock splitter?
A rock splitter, also known as a rock breaker or hydraulic rock splitter, is a specialized machine that is used extensively in the construction and mining industries. Rock splitter, in particular, are widely employed in road building, demolition, quarrying, and tunneling. Large rocks, boulders, or concrete constructions are split or broken into smaller pieces. These machines provide an effective and controlled method of breaking up massive, solid rock, eliminating the need for drilling and blasting processes.
How does a rock splitter work?
A rock splitter is typically made up of a hydraulic power unit and a wedge-shaped tool that is put into a pre-drilled hole in rock or concrete to generate the required force. The hydraulic power unit applies pressure to the wedge, causing it to expand and apply force on the material around it.This force causes cracks and fractures in the rock or concrete, which eventually break or destroy it.
The economic development cannot be separated from the support of the construction industry. Rock is a typical natural heterogeneous engineering geological material, and the fracture evolution mechanism of rock has always been a hot issue in the field of rock mechanics and engineering.
Because rock is a complex material in practical engineering applications, the phenomenon of both porous and fissured defects is very common, and the interaction between porous and fissured defects directly affects the instability and cracking resistance of rock.
Engineers have realized in long-term practice that some rocks are not easy to destroy and difficult to break. Difficult to break the rock is generally difficult to drill, difficult to blast, then their hardness is relatively large, in general, is more solid. Therefore, people use the concept of rock firmness to express the degree of difficulty of rocks when broken.
The rock cracking operation is a very professional project, which must be operated by a skilled team. Before splitting, the stability of the boulder, the direction of cracking, the location of the drilling hole, the personnel station, the operating platform, etc., must be selected in a suitable and safe position to start. Wear safety goggles and gloves and take protective measures when drilling holes to prevent injuries caused by splashing of small stones. Be alert to rock movements during cracking to prevent personnel and equipment from being injured by the fractured rocks.
How much is rock splitter?
Rock splitter is a necessary equipment for highway emergency, when there is a major emergency on the road, when the boulder falls to affect the traffic, the ordinary crusher can not break the boulder, at this time the rock splitter can be useful, can deal with relatively solid rock.
Our company has always been committed to providing users with professional tools to solve problems, which is an important obligation and responsibility of our company.
