Hydraulic Rock Splitter for Sale in Australia.


Australian Customer Background
A compelling example of the effectiveness of YG Hydraulic Rock Splitters comes from Australia. A construction company undertaking a new building project encountered significant delays due to large, unyielding rock formations obstructing their excavation work. Traditional blasting was not an option due to proximity to existing structures and local regulations.
Faced with costly delays, the builder sought a non-explosive rock-breaking solution. After researching various options, they chose to purchase ten units of YG Hydraulic Rock Splitter Equipment.
The Hydraulic Rock Splitters proved to be highly effective in breaking the hard rock quickly and safely, allowing the construction project to proceed on schedule and within budget. This case highlights the reliability and efficiency of YG’s equipment in real-world, challenging scenarios.

4 Practical Application Cases Of Hydraulic Rock Splitters
1. Tunnel Construction in Norway
Contractors used YG’s splitters to break hard granite inside a mountain tunnel, avoiding damage to surrounding rock formations.
2. Residential Building in Japan
Due to the proximity of nearby buildings, a builder used hydraulic splitters instead of explosives to remove foundation bedrock safely.
3. Gold Mine in Peru
Mining operators used splitters for selective ore extraction without harming surrounding structures, improving worker safety and material yield.
4. Highway Expansion in Canada
For a road-widening project, engineers used splitters to shape and remove roadside rock without disrupting existing traffic flow.
These real-world cases show the global demand for reliable hydraulic rock splitter equipment in the construction and mining sectors.


Key Advantages Of Hydraulic Rock Splitters
The Hydraulic Rock Splitter provides several significant advantages over traditional rock breaking techniques such as blasting, jackhammering, or chemical expansion.
Main benefits include:
- Noise-free and vibration-free operation, ideal for use in cities and sensitive areas
- Safe and controlled splitting, reducing risks to nearby structures and workers
- Minimal environmental impact, with no dust, debris, or toxic emissions
- Low operating costs, as it uses hydraulic pressure and requires minimal maintenance
- Compact and portable design, allowing use in tight spaces or underground projects
- High efficiency, capable of splitting large rocks within minutes
These benefits make hydraulic splitters a preferred choice for contractors needing safe, fast, and precise rock demolition.
How to Operate a Hydraulic Rock Splitter
Proper operation of a Hydraulic Rock Splitter is crucial for safety and optimal performance. Here’s a general guide:
- Drill Pilot Holes: Drill holes of the appropriate diameter and depth into the rock or concrete according to the splitter tool’s specifications and the desired fracture pattern.
- Insert the Splitter: Insert the splitter wedge and shims into the pre-drilled hole. Ensure they are properly aligned.
- Apply Hydraulic Pressure: Connect the hydraulic hose from the power unit to the splitter tool. Gradually apply hydraulic pressure using the pump. The pressure will force the wedge between the shims, creating outward pressure on the surrounding material.
- Monitor the Splitting Process: Observe the rock or concrete as pressure increases. Cracks will begin to form along the desired splitting lines. Continue applying pressure until the material fractures completely.
- Repeat as Necessary: For larger areas, repeat the process by drilling additional holes and splitting adjacent sections.
