Breaker hammer

Highly Efficient
Excavators with hydraulic breaker attachments are very efficient. Due to the fact that you can do the work that takes weeks with manpower just in a few hours. You will be able to save a great deal of time and manpower by using this method. Additionally, it is much easier to deal with the mess left behind. You can easily transport and dispose of all the debris since it is in many small pieces. Today, many construction companies heavily rely on these machines on a daily basis.

Fuel Consumption is Low
Despite popular belief, hydraulic breakers don’t consume a lot of fuel. So your project budget isn’t drained while it is in use. Because it consumes less fuel than other machinery that can perform the same task. To purchase one of them for your business or project will be a long-term investment. However, having one of them on your team will save you a lot of money in the long run.

Less Noise Pollution
These types of heavy machinery are believed to produce a lot of noise. But contrary to popular belief, they do not. When it comes to destroying anything by a powerful force, it can be very disruptive. However, using a hydraulic breaker can greatly reduce the noise around your construction or demolition site. Consequently, it will not interfere with your other work, and you will also receive fewer outside complaints due to the noises.

Risk Reduction
It is always a good idea to reduce workplace risks by using a safe tool. In these situations, a hydraulic breaker will come in handy. When operated by an experienced operator, it is a piece of machinery that is safe to use. It will reduce many risks related to your field and increase your overall safety. Every field that has to do with construction has a high risk of causing serious injury or death to those who work in them. Having a hydraulic breaker will change that drastically and will safeguard all your workers.

Hydraulic hammers/breakers use hydraulics to work, which is the reason behind their name, but it is also what sets them apart. Pascal’s law, which is a mechanical principle in mechanics, is the basic function of the hydraulic hammer. By putting pressure on one part of a fluid, it transfers the pressure to all areas of the fluid, which multiplies the force. Hydraulic Breakers use hydraulic oil, which cannot be compressed, with pressure stored in a small canister. This hydraulic system supplies the force for hitting. Regular, hand-held hammers don’t even compare to the strike of a hydraulic breaker.

There are two main types of hydraulic breakers, with different valves. One type has an inner valve while the second type has an outer valve. The inner parts are mostly the same, with the necessary cylinder to provide the pressure and a piston to convert the energy into the hammering action. Other similar hydraulic parts include:
● Side rods: Designed for supporting mounted hammer applications
● Nitrogen Chamber: A low-pressure chamber to help supply power
● Main Valve: The only moving part, other than the piston, to help hammer
● Front Cap: Keeps the hammer attachment in place during impact

Cylinder
A cylinder that is the most important part of the hydraulic system. This contains the moving piston which strikes the tool. The seals for both ends of the piston are also located in the cylinder. The seals for the upper end of the piston are located in a removable seal retainer while the seals for the lower end of the piston are located in proves machined directly into the cylinder.

Piston
A piston transfers impact power to the tool, generated by hydraulic power. It is also present in both types of hydraulic breakers which convert kinetic energy into hammering energy a front head is featured to support the machine and one back head which contains nitrogen gas.

Valve
The valve controls reciprocates piston action with the hydraulic fluid distribution.

Seal Retainer
The seal retainer has oil seals to seal Nitrogen(Nz) gas in the back head, and to prevent hydraulic o leakage.

Front Head Assembly
this retains the tool, using the tool pins. By removing these pins, the tool can be changed.

Ring Bush
This guides the tool, Ring Bush limits the uppermost position of the tool. It is consumable parts, which should be checked for wear limits. If needed, they should be replaced.

Chisel
This transfers piston impact power to the objects. We recommend various tool shapes according to working circumstances.

Rod Pin
This is installed on the front head, and prevents the tool from coming off.

Back Head Assembly
This contains the cushion chamber charged with nitrogen(N2) gas that is compressed during upward strokes of the pistoning and serves to provide maximum absorption of the piston recoil, efficiently storing this energy for the next blow.

Through Bolts
These are used to assemble the front head, the cylinder, and the back head. They have to be constantly tightened to the specified torque. Inspect the bolts for loosening, and re-tighten them weekly.

Complete a Visual Inspection
Although it only takes a few minutes to visually inspect a hydraulic breaker for wear and tear, many operators overlook this step. A visual inspection should be completed each time the breaker is used to help identify any worn or damaged components and prevent unexpected downtime. Check hydraulic hoses, the breaker shell, attachment pins, tool retainers and locks; and the tool point, for any cracks or gouges.

Use the Correct Maintenance Tools
Many breaker manufacturers provide a specialized check tool to measure the breaker’s lower bushing, top angle of the breaker tool, and retaining pins. Using this maintenance tool for its recommended checks will decrease the likelihood of early component failure.
The first step to using the maintenance tool is removing the retainer pins and breaker tool. Since you have the breaker tool removed, it is a good opportunity give it an inspection for any cracks and use the maintenance tool to check the top angle. Also, check the retainer pins for wear and/or damage. Next, check the breaker’s bushing. The maintenance tool is inserted into the bushing, and if it can be turned flat so that it fits end-to-end inside the bushing, the bushing needs to be replaced. This simple check takes approximately 15 to 30 minutes and should be conducted once a week or every 50 hours of attachment use.

Examine Hydraulic Hoses
Hydraulic hoses from the excavator should be the correct length and always be routed properly to help decrease wear and potential downtime. On the flip side, hoses longer in length can catch or become disengaged on rebar and other debris. Some breakers come with standard hydraulic hoses that are the correct length for each of their machines to make installation easy and maximize operating time and hose protection.

Grease the Attachment
Greasing the hydraulic breaker is the most important maintenance item because it lubricates and clears the tool bushing area of debris. Greasing can be done manually or via an automatic greasing system. If you are using a hydraulic breaker that needs to be manually greased, make sure to follow manufacturer recommendations — typically every 1 to 2 hours — to reduce buildup, tool wear and bushing wear. Some manufacturers feature an automatic lubrication (greasing) system for their hydraulic breaker models that delivers a constant flow of grease and eliminates manual greasing intervals. The automatic system can save you labor-intensive time, money down the road and help to avoid over-greasing the hydraulic breaker.

Utilize the Right Tool Point
Matching the tool point to its respective application can significantly maximize jobsite production and extend the breaker’s life.
Other available tool points include:
● Chisel tool point — Provides more breaker control when a breaker is being used for general excavation or cutting concrete for trenching.
● Blunt tool point — Easily breaks and fractures large pieces of concrete or block in heavy construction applications.
● Pyramidal tool point — Used for breaking hard, abrasive material in demolition applications.

Inspect Nitrogen Pressure
Determining the proper nitrogen charge pressure depends on the application and outside working temperature. The attachment’s Operation and Maintenance Manual gives you the recommended nitrogen pressure setting for your application and working temperature.
