The Krupp HM 1000 Eco hydraulic breaker hammer consists of several essential components, including a hydraulic cylinder, piston, accumulator, valve system, and tool (moil or chisel).
The hydraulic cylinder provides the necessary force to drive the piston, which, in turn, transfers the impact energy to the tool. The accumulator stores hydraulic energy, allowing the breaker to deliver high impact blows consistently.
Working Principles:
The hydraulic breaker hammer operates based on the principle of hydraulic power. It attaches to the carrier machine, such as an excavator or skid-steer loader, through the hydraulic system. When the hydraulic oil is pumped into the breaker's cylinder, it forces the piston to move rapidly, compressing the gas in the accumulator. As the gas pressure reaches its maximum, it releases, driving the piston forward, and causing the tool to strike the target material with a high impact force.
