The hydraulic rock drill and splitter is an engineering piece of equipment that combines hydraulic rock drilling and static hydraulic splitting functions. Mounted on an excavator, it utilizes a hydraulic system for power. First, a high-speed hydraulic impactor drills a hole to a predetermined depth in the rock. Then, a specialized splitting gun is inserted into the hole, and the immense static force generated by the hydraulic cylinder splits the rock from the inside. It is widely used in open-pit mining, tunneling, and municipal infrastructure construction, and is compatible with excavators ranging from 20 to 65 tons, meeting diverse needs from small to medium-sized rock excavation to large-scale mining operations.

6 Core Features of Integrated Rock Drill and Splitter
- Integrated Dual-Function Design for Higher Efficiency: This hydraulic rock drill and splitter combines drilling and splitting functions in one device. It completes hole drilling and rock splitting continuously on site, eliminating repeated equipment disassembly, installation, and debugging. Compared with independent drilling and splitting machines, it improves overall construction efficiency by over 60% and greatly shortens project cycles.
- Super Strong Hydraulic Splitting Force: Driven by the excavator’s original hydraulic power system, the hydraulic rock drill and splitter outputs a stable and powerful splitting force. It can easily split high-hardness rocks such as granite, basalt, limestone, and bluestone, perfectly handling hard rock construction difficulties that traditional impact breakers cannot solve.
- Static Silent Breaking, No Structural Damage: Different from impact breaking and explosive blasting, the excavator drill and splitting machine adopts pure static hydraulic splitting. It produces no strong vibration, no flying rocks, no dust, and low noise during operation. It will not crack surrounding buildings, reserved rock foundations, and pipeline facilities, fully complying with urban environmental protection and safety construction standards.
- Excavator Mounted with Flexible Operation: The whole device is directly installed on conventional 20–30 ton excavators, making full use of the excavator’s flexible rotation and walking performance. It adapts to narrow foundation pits, steep mountain slopes, confined tunnel spaces, and other complex terrains, realizing a multi-angle dead-angle-free rock breaking operation.
- Low Comprehensive Operating Cost: One machine replaces two sets of independent equipment, greatly reducing equipment procurement costs and labor staffing. The optimized hydraulic structure has a low failure rate. Daily maintenance only requires simple cleaning and oil inspection, with minimal later maintenance costs and high long-term cost performance.
- Strong Global Climate & Terrain Adaptability: All core hydraulic components adopt waterproof, dustproof, high-temperature, and corrosion-resistant designs. It runs stably in the high-temperature, arid desert areas of Chile and the humid, rainy tropical environments of the Philippines, adapting to various harsh outdoor construction conditions.
6 Main Applications
- Mountain Highway & Railway Construction: Suitable for hard rock excavation, roadbed trimming, and slope leveling in mountain traffic engineering. It efficiently removes hard rock obstacles without damaging mountain slope structures.
- Urban Foundation Pit Engineering: Widely used for rock breaking in high-rise building foundation pits and municipal foundation projects. Its zero-vibration feature avoids damage to adjacent residential buildings and municipal pipelines.
- Tunnel & Underground Engineering: Ideal for small tunnel excavation, inner wall rock trimming, and underground pipe trench rock breaking. Low noise and no vibration ensure safe construction in confined underground spaces.
- Quarry & Stone Mining: Applied for regular splitting and material taking in stone quarries. It ensures neat rock fracture surfaces, improves stone utilization rate and reduces mining waste.
- Slope Reinforcement & Renovation: Used for hard rock cleaning and terrain trimming in mountain slope reinforcement and post-disaster reconstruction projects, adapting to complex high-altitude terrains.
- Municipal Old Reconstruction Projects: Perfect for local rock and concrete breaking in urban old community renovation, road expansion, and infrastructure upgrading, meeting strict urban construction noise and safety regulations.
Real Overseas Customer Cases
Case 1: Chile Granite Quarry Client
- Customer Background: A large granite quarry operator in northern Chile runs open-pit stone mining and supplies raw stone to local construction factories, needing a stable integrated rock drill and splitter for daily stone splitting.
- Troubles: Local hard granite is banned from blasting by environmental laws. Separate drill and splitter needed frequent equipment switching and lowered output; old small splitters could not reach deep splitting depth required for bulk mining.
- Solution: We supplied a YG-210 Hydraulic Rock Drill and Splitter matching their 52-ton excavator. It boasts 8050mm max splitting depth, 35MPa standard hydraulic pressure, and remote control, perfectly fitting large-scale quarry deep excavation.
- Effect: One machine finishes drilling and splitting continuously. Its long reach (max splitting distance 11640mm) covers wide quarry benches, and daily stone output rises over 40%. Remote control keeps operators away from dangerous, steep rock faces.
- Customer Feedback: “This excavator drill and splitting machine with YG-210 specs solves our deep granite splitting issue. Stable hydraulic performance works well in Chile’s dry high heat, greatly lifting our finished stone yield.”
Case 2: Philippines Municipal Contractor
- Customer Background: A Philippine municipal engineering firm based in Manila takes urban foundation pit and hillside road projects across Luzon Island, searching for cost-effective integrated rock drill and splitter for scattered urban and mountain works.
- Troubles: The Philippines’ humid, rainy climate easily damages splitters with poor sealing; narrow urban construction space limits oversized machines. Old impact breakers trigger vibration complaints from nearby residents.
- Solution: We selected the YG-130 model adaptable to their 25-ton excavator. Compact dimension (421014001785mm, 4200kg weight) suits tight sites, standard 35MPa hydraulic system with anti-moisture hydraulic parts for tropical damp conditions.

7 Buying Guides for hydraulic rock drill and splitter
- Matching the excavator tonnage: First, confirm the weight of your excavator, then select a drill bit with the appropriate specifications to avoid hydraulic flow and pressure mismatch.
- Checking the hardness of the rock being worked on: For hard granite, choose a heavy-duty hydraulic drill bit with a larger stroke; for soft limestone, choose a medium-sized standard model to save costs.
- Confirming the working space conditions: Narrow pits require compact, small equipment; open-pit quarries require a long-arm, large, integrated drill bit for greater splitting distance.
- Confirming local climate requirements: Wet coastal areas require rust-resistant hydraulic components; high-temperature desert projects should be equipped with heat-resistant hydraulic lines.
- Focusing on core hydraulic parameters: Prioritize standard hydraulic pressure and matching flow to ensure stable drilling and splitting output.
- Confirming the control method: Standard remote control design improves operator safety and is the preferred choice for high-risk slope and deep pit breaking operations.
- Comparing after-sales service and spare parts: Choose suppliers with ample supply of wear parts and overseas technical guidance to reduce downtime for later maintenance.
