Technical Parameters for Kellyway Pile Breaker

A pile breaker is a tool used to trim concrete outcrops and foundation piles. Pile breakers are most commonly used in pillar construction and demolition projects to crush the concrete part of a pillar without damaging the steel reinforcements encased within. When operated correctly, pile breakers produce a perfect horizontal pile cutting finish without damaging the reinforcement or leaving cracks below the cutoff level. Pile breakers have a modular design and are highly customizable, meaning that it’s easy to adapt the tool to the specific size and shape of each of the concrete piles on site.

What are the main componets of a pile breaker?
A pile breaker is composed of cylinder modules and links, which can be adjusted on site and allows the pile breaker to fit perfectly around piles of varying shapes and sizes. Pile breakers come with different tip kits, and with different tip lengths, which allows for easy maintenance and versatility. A pile breaker’s lifting kit allows the pile breaker to be used with cranes, excavators, and other construction machines. Finally, pile breakers are available in both light and heavy models, which are each suited for different pile dimensions.

How does a pile breaker work?
First, the operator will position the pile breaker around the pillar that needs to be broken. Next, the operator activates the oil flow, which will cause the pile breaker to crush the concrete pile without damaging the pile’s internal structure. Finally, the pile breaker lifts upwards, separating and removing the concrete while leaving the steel rods free.

Benefits ENEFITS OF USING A PILE BREAKER
Pile breakers save time. They’re fully automated throughout their operation and work many times faster than traditional concrete breaking processes. Additionally, pile breakers are easy to use, they’re simple to maintain, they don’t require special skills to operate, and they can work and last for years. Particularly for projects that require many piles to be broken in a single sitting, pile breakers can help reduce risk and decrease labor and maintenance costs.
