    6-Twin Headers and Impact Hammers - Kopya

    Uploaded by

    A twin header is an attachment for hydraulic excavators that has rotating cutting heads powered by the excavator's hydraulics. The cutting heads excavate materials like rock and soil. Impact hammers, another attachment, use a piston that is hydraulically powered to repeatedly strike against a tool to break up rock, excavate soft rock in tunnels, and scale slopes. Both attachments can be used for tasks like road construction and tunneling depending on the material hardness and excavator size.

    TWIN HEADERS AND

    IMPACT HAMMERS
    TWIN HEADERS
    (ROTARY CUTTERS, DRUM CUTTERS)
    A twin header is one of the attachments
    to hydraulic excavators.

    It has a hydraulic motor propelled by the


    hydraulic circuit of the excavator and
    rotates cutting heads through gears.
    These rotating cutting heads excavate
    rock or ore.

    Main applications of a twin header are


    excavation of road bases and gradients,
    excavation of ditches, tunneling,
    blending soil, etc.

    IMPACT HAMMERS
    (IMPACT BREAKERS OR HYDRAULIC BREAKERS-HAMMERS)
    Impact hammers have been used widely in mining and civil
    engineering applications since 1960, because the initial capital
    investment was relatively lower
    Impact hammer units is generally attached to hydraulic excavators.
    They are used for
    • breaking soft or fractured rock in foundations, trenches etc.
    • scaling slopes or benches.
    • breaking large blocks remained from blasting.
    • Excavating soft and fractured rock in tunnel drivages.

    with loading unit
    Some metro tunnels were driven by impact hammers in Istanbul ,
    since rock formations were highly fractured in some zones.
    Working principle of impact hammer

    The working principle of a


    Piston
    modern hydraulic hammer is
    simple. There is a piston
    moving up and down by
    hydraulic oil pressure and
    striking against the tool end.

    Machine Utilization Factor for Impact Hammers

    Utilization factor for impact hammers can be accepted as 20 %.


    If the machine has mucking loading and transfer system, it can be
    accepted as 40 %.
