A Piston Rock Splitter is a hydraulic tool designed to break hard rock and concrete efficiently without using explosives. Unlike traditional blasting, it provides a controlled, safe, and environmentally friendly method for rock excavation.
This machine works effectively in construction, quarrying, tunneling, and demolition, where blasting is not allowed or unsafe. Main features include:
Non-explosive splitting technology for higher safety
Low noise and vibration operation
Precise cracking of rock along natural fracture lines
As a non-explosive rock splitter, it reduces risks and ensures clean and smooth results even in confined or urban job sites.

How The Piston Rock Splitter Works
The piston rock splitter operates with a hydraulic power station that drives the piston to produce a strong splitting force. The process is simple and efficient:
A pre-drilled hole (42–50 mm diameter) is made in the rock or concrete.
The splitting cylinder and wedge system are inserted into the hole.
The hydraulic piston expands, creating up to 2,000 tons of pressure.
The material splits cleanly along its natural cracks.
This controlled process ensures minimal noise, no vibration, and zero flying debris, making it suitable for urban areas and sensitive environments.
