Hydraulic Splitting Cylinder Darda C4Е

Short and compact for tightest space. The predominant source material and the application requirements determine the splitting insert called wedge set. This ensures that the best splitting result is always achieved.
The C4E splitting cylinder is well established in the natural stone industry for block extraction of both hard and soft rock such as marble and granite. It is also used in the demolition of rocks and natural stone, in secondary splitting of boulders, as well as in tunnel driving, extension in underground mining and knapping work, as well as press pipe jacking.

The splitting direction and the splitting course can be precisely determined via the control valve on the upper handle.

Robust multi-layer hoses reliably connect the splitting cylinder to the high-pressure hydraulic power unit, which delivers a system pressure of 50 MPa (500 bar).

The predominant source material and the application requirements determine the splitting insert called the wedge set. This ensures that the best splitting result is always achieved.

Components made of the highest quality aluminum and steel materials guarantee a very long service life even under the hardest conditions. Maintenance work is almost obsolete.

The hard metal layer of the counter wedges enables the transmission of the very high forces and provides long-lasting protection against corrosion, seizure, and wear.
Common Characteristics
Splitters are handheld demolition devices, which controllably split material with the use of hydraulic pressure. Above all they convince when larger conventional demolition devices are ruled-out because they produce dust, flying debris, vibration, noise and possibly exhaust fumes.

A complete splitting unit consists of one or more Splitters, high and low pressure hoses and also a hydraulic power unit.

• Enormous splitting force
• Dust free and near silent operation.
• Vibration free.
• Light weight.
• Dimensionally accurate working.
• Controllable at any time.
• Applicable at places of difficult access.
• Easy handling.
