Excavator breaker hammer, also known as a hydraulic breaker or demolition hammer, is a hydraulic attachment mounted on excavators. Its primary function is to deliver high-impact blows to break apart concrete, rock, asphalt, and other dense materials. Unlike manual demolition methods, breaker hammers offer precision, efficiency, and reduced labor costs, making them a cornerstone of modern construction and demolition projects. It is engineered for durability and performance. It is constructed from high-strength steel to withstand extreme forces and repetitive impact. For more information, please get in touch with us.

Applications of the Excavator Breaker Hammer

  1. Construction: Demolishing concrete structures, foundations, and slabs. Trenching and excavation in rocky terrain.
  2. Mining and Quarrying: Breaking oversize rocks, scaling mine faces, and secondary crushing.
  3. Demolition: Interior demolition of buildings, removal of reinforced concrete.
  4. Recycling: Processing scrap concrete, asphalt, and masonry for reuse.
  5. Roadwork: Repairing highways, breaking frozen ground, and pavement removal.
  6. Forestry: Clearing stumps and roots in land-clearing projects.

How Does A Hydraulic Breaker Hammer for Excavator Work?

1 Hydraulic Power Supply The excavator’s hydraulic pump supplies pressurized fluid to the breaker hammer through hoses

2 Valve Mechanism A control valve directs the fluid into the hammer’s chamber driving the piston upward

3 Impact Cycle When the piston reaches the top of its chamber the valve redirects fluid causing the piston to accelerate downward and strike the tool chisel or moil.

4 Energy Transfer The kinetic energy from the piston is transferred through the tool to the material creating fractures or breaks

This cyclic process allows the hammer to deliver rapid consecutive blows making it ideal for demanding tasks like rock excavation or concrete demolition

Benefits Of Using An Hydraulic Hammer for Excavator

  1. Efficiency
    Hydraulic hammers complete demolition and excavation jobs faster than manual methods or traditional tools like jackhammers reducing project timelines
  2. Precision
    Operators can target specific areas with minimal collateral damage making breaker hammers ideal for urban demolition or renovation projects
  3. Safety
    Reduced manual labor and remote operation lower the risk of workplace injuries associated with handheld tools
