YG Machinery’s YG series integrated rock drill and splitter is an advanced engineering machine that combines hydraulic rock drilling and static hydraulic splitting into one integrated system. Mounted on an excavator and powered by the excavator’s hydraulic system, the machine first uses a high-speed hydraulic rock drill to create holes of a specific depth in the rock. Then, a special hydraulic splitting gun is inserted into the hole, where a powerful hydraulic cylinder generates an enormous static force to split the rock from the inside. This “drill first, split second” working method allows precise and controllable rock breaking. The rock drill and splitter are widely used in open-pit mining, tunnel excavation, municipal construction, and foundation engineering. It can match excavators from 20 tons to 65 tons, meeting the needs of small, medium, and large-scale rock-breaking projects. If you are interested in this machine, please contact YG Machinery.

4 Working Process of YG Rock Drill and Splitter
- Drilling Positioning: Powered by the excavator’s hydraulic system, the machine first uses a high-performance hydraulic rock drill to create holes with the required depth and diameter in the target rock. The drill positioning, rotation, and feeding are all precisely controlled by the hydraulic system. This efficient drilling process is one of the key advantages of the Hydraulic Rock Drill and Splitter.
- Function Switching: After drilling is completed, the drill rod retracts automatically. Using the remote controller, the operator changes the working tool to a hydraulic splitting gun and inserts it accurately into the drilled hole. The flexible switching system makes the integrated rock drill and splitter more efficient than traditional separate machines.
- Static Hydraulic Splitting: After the splitting gun enters the hole, the two-stage hydraulic pressure boosting system begins working. The hydraulic cylinder generates an extremely strong static pushing force, expanding the rock from the inside and creating controlled cracking pressure. The powerful splitting force allows the integrated rock drill and splitter to break even hard granite and basalt efficiently.
- Complete Rock Separation: Under continuous static pressure, the rock splits along the drilling direction and the weakest resistance surface. Large cracks are formed, and the rock separates neatly into two or more pieces. The whole process has no blasting, no explosion, and no dynamic impact, making it a true static rock-breaking solution.
This is why many contractors prefer the Integrated Hydraulic Rock Drill and Splitter for environmentally sensitive projects.
5 Core Advantages of the Hydraulic Rock Drill and Splitter
- High Working Efficiency: The integrated rock drill and splitter combine drilling and splitting into one machine, allowing continuous work without changing equipment or waiting. This greatly improves efficiency. The working efficiency can reach up to 3 times higher than that of a traditional breaker hammer. For example, the YG-130 model can break 1000–1500 tons of rock per day. The integrated rock drill and splitter helps save both time and labor costs.
- Excellent Safety: The splitting process works under static hydraulic pressure, with no explosives, shock waves, or flying rocks. This completely removes the safety risks of blasting. Operators can control the Hydraulic Rock Drill and Splitter remotely from a safe distance, providing better protection for workers.
- Environmentally Friendly Construction: The machine works with very low vibration, low noise, and low dust. Optional dust collection and water spray systems are also available. The Integrated Hydraulic Rock Drill and Splitter is especially suitable for sensitive areas such as city centers, residential areas, subway tunnels, and locations near buildings or precision equipment.
- Low Operating Cost: The machine has strong durability and low failure rates. Compared with blasting or traditional breaker hammers, the excavator drill and splitting machine has lower energy consumption and simpler maintenance.
- High Precision and Flexibility: The splitting direction, size, and shape can be controlled accurately through drilling. The split surface is smooth, making the rock easier to reuse later. The integrated rock drill and splitter have a compact design and can work in difficult conditions such as slopes, foundation pits, and narrow underground spaces. It can even be lifted into subway shafts or other limited work areas.
4 Key Technical Features of the Integrated Hydraulic Rock Drill and Splitter
- Two-Stage Hydraulic Splitting System: The rock drill and splitter use a two-stage hydraulic cylinder design to create a stronger splitting force. It can easily handle very hard rocks such as granite and basalt. The long-stroke splitting wedge can create cracks from 35–55 mm wide, helping the rock break completely and efficiently.
- Stable Drilling Performance: The machine is equipped with a high-performance hydraulic impact system that provides stable impact power and rotation torque. Even in hard rock conditions, the Hydraulic Rock Drill and Splitter can keep a drilling speed of 800–1000 mm per minute. The drill frame is also stable and accurate during operation.
- Smart and Easy Operation: All models support wireless remote control. Operators can control the drilling and splitting process from the cab or another safe area. The integrated rock drill and splitter is easy to operate, reduces labor intensity, and allows one person to complete the work.
- Strong Adaptability for Different Job Sites: According to different working conditions, the machine can be equipped with a powerful air compressor for dust cleaning or a dust collection system for cleaner construction work. The Integrated Hydraulic Rock Drill and Splitter is designed for many different construction environments.
