Rammer hydraulic breakers equipped with a hot bolt kit are an excellent choice for demolition work in steel foundries. Thanks to Rammer's top-mounted damping, the damping materials withstand the heat and perform their function even in high-temperature conditions.
Conditions for a hydraulic breaker can hardly get hotter than in a metal industry smelter. When solidified slag is broken away from a ladle and its edges, the molten metal inside the ladle can reach temperatures of up to 1,000 degrees. The hot bolt kit for Rammer hydraulic breakers is designed to withstand extreme conditions.
The hot bolt kit for Rammer hydraulic breakers includes metal wear plates and retaining pin O-rings made from heat-resistant material. Both withstand hot conditions considerably longer than standard plastic wear plates or O-rings, which can melt at high temperatures.
The hot bolt kit is durable and easy to install
The clearance dimensions make installing the wear plates easy. The Rammer hydraulic breaker housing is precision-machined, resulting in tighter tolerances than many competitors. The durability of the components also reduces maintenance requirements. During operation, the breaker's hydraulics cool the unit and prevent the seals from overheating.
Despite the hot bolt kit, it is advisable to allow the unit to cool down after short breaking intervals, away from the heat source.
Top-mounted damping prevents component overheating and reduces vibration
Rammer's technical design supports both the unit's heat resistance and durability, while also reducing the vibration experienced by the operator.
The shock dampening is located in the upper part of the breaker, meaning the polyurethane damping materials and seals are exposed to less heat than when the dampening is positioned lower, close to the chisel and the heat source. This design significantly reduces wear or melting of the damping materials, thereby reducing maintenance requirements. When a longer tool is selected for the breaker, heat exposure is further reduced.
The position of the shock dampening is also excellent from the perspective of operator ergonomics and boom joint longevity. In Rammer models, the damping materials do not need to be removed due to the risk of melting; instead, they perform their function in both the tool and boom directions.
