The Hydrohammer® can be used as a rock breaker both on land and underwater. It is fitted with a special sleeve that features an internal anvil and a chisel. After being driven into the rock, the hammer and chisel are lifted and moved to the next spot. Delivering upward blows and lifting the hammer at the same time strongly facilitates the retraction of jammed chisels.
ROCK BREAKER SYSTEM
The Rock Breaker set exists of a leader with integrated cylinder, manifold and measuring devices. To withstand heavy resistance, the Hydrohammer must be properly guided in a leader-guide profile. This operating criterion secures the central alignment of the chisel and hammer for optimum energy transfer between ram/anvil and chisel. The position of this leader profile should be fixed during breaking and extracting.
