SILENT CONCRETE AND ROCK BREAKER

A NEW TYPE OF PAVEMENT BREAKER, SIMILAR TO THE COMMON AIR-OPERATED JACKHAMMER, HAS BEEN SHOWN TO BE RAPID AND SILENT. THE SPLITTER USES A SMALL COMPRESSOR POWER PACK WHICH CAN BE OPERTED WITH AIR, ELECTRICITY, OR GAS DRIVES. THE UNIT WORKS BEST AT NORMAL 100 PSI AIR PRESSURE BUT CAN OPERATE EFFECTIVELY AT AIR PRESSURES DOWN TO 60 PSI. CONTROL OF SPLITTING LINES IS SO ACCURATE THAT PATTERNS CAN BE CUT FROM CONCRETE SLABS WITHOUT DAMAGE TO THE SURROUNDING SLAB MATERIAL.
