How does a rock breaker work?
A hydraulic rock breaker, or excavator rock breaker, is an attachment added to an excavator. It breaks and shatters rock and earth into smaller, more manageable parts. These rock breakers complement crusher attachments as they help downsize substantial rocks. These excavators are primarily used in mining, demolition of landscaping fields, and tunnel construction. The rock breaker decreases the dependency on the rock blaster. The attachment is easy to install and can enter any terrain without difficulty. This suits confined spaces where rock-breaking machinery, such as piling rigs, cannot enter. The excavator rock breaker comes in two types, internal and external. Both rock breaker types consist of a front to support the breaker and a back to hold the nitrogen gas. The hydraulic oil inside the rock breaker machine creates pressure and allows the piston to move to release nitrogen gas. The movement of the piston powers the breaking sequence and smashes the rock.
