Targeted and controlled quarrying of natural stone can be highly productive and efficient without blasting. Vibration, noise and dust generation depend on the rock, drilling pattern, operating setup and site controls and must be measured for the selected setup and compared with a defined alternative for the same task. With the Darda splitting principle, up to 800 tons of splitting force can be generated manually and 1,800 tons of splitting force can be generated with machine guidance in a targeted and controlled manner. Noise, vibration, dust and flying-rock risks during operation of the Darda splitting cylinders depend on the rock, drilling pattern, operating setup and site controls and must be assessed for the project. Splitting direction and splitting course can be set in advance. The effect of precise splitting on the amount of usable material depends on the rock, drilling pattern and selected setup. This makes the splitting equipment ideal for block excavation in quarries.

DARDA rock splitters combine above-average quality and high performance. Actual service life depends on the application, operating conditions and maintenance.

With our hand-held rock splitters and the machine-guided rock splitters, we have the right solution depending on the requirements of the rock type or rock class.
