ROCK SPLITTER

The Yamamoto Hydraulic Rock Splitter is specifically designed for excavation of hard rock without producing vibration, noise, or flying debris. It offers an ideal alternative to blasting in densely populated or sensitive areas, ensuring safety, accuracy and efficiency.

THE MOST EFFICIENT, SAFE AND QUIET WAY FOR ROCK EXCAVATION PRODUCTIVITY As the largest splitter in the market, Yamamoto Rock Splitter also offers the highest productivity. With larger wedge you can increase the spacing between holes and go deeper with each split. Productivity is dependent on the hardness of the rock and types of projects. Hole size Bench height Typical hole spacing Volume per split Productivity ROBUSTNESS The Yamamoto Rock Splitter is designed with minimal number of parts, utilising the pressure of the excavator to avoid boosters. Extra long counter wedges help protects the tip...

APPLICATIONS Excavation often requires efficiency, precision, and control. Traditional blasting requires extensive preparation, and obtaining permits can slow down progress of the work. The Hydraulic Rock Splitter is not subject to the same restrictions, making it an efficient solution for projects in sensitive environments. Yamamoto Rock Splitter has been working in various construction and civil engineering projects across the globe since 1981. Some of the key applications include: CONFINED SPACE LAND DEVELOPMENT

HOW IT WORKS The Rock Splitter works by inserting two counter wedges into a predrilled hole. The hydraulic cylinder pushes the centre wedge between the counter wedges to push them apart, forcing the rock to crack. Insert half of the total length of the wedge and use the Yamamoto splitter to split. Then insert 3/4 of the total length of the wedge to split again. STEP 3 Finally, insert the full length of the wedge and split to complete. WORK PROCESS DRILLING First, drill split holes of specific diameter and depth, normally done with a crawler drill. Hole spacing depends on splitter model, rock...
