We design the rock drill and splitter for modern construction, mining, and demolition projects that require both precise drilling and powerful rock breaking in one integrated system. Instead of using separate machines for drilling and splitting, this solution combines both functions into a single workflow, improving efficiency, reducing equipment costs, and increasing jobsite productivity.
At YG Machinery, we engineer this system to handle demanding geological conditions, including granite, basalt, and reinforced concrete, while maintaining stable, controlled operation.
By combining drilling accuracy with hydraulic splitting force, contractors gain a more flexible and safer alternative to blasting or heavy impact breaking methods. It is widely used in projects where vibration control and structural safety are critical.
Rock Drill and Splitter for High-Efficiency Dual-Function Rock Processing
The rock drill and splitter integrates drilling and splitting into a unified workflow, allowing operators to drill precise holes and immediately apply controlled hydraulic force to fracture rock formations.
Key advantages include:
- Combined drilling and splitting in one system
- Reduced equipment transfer time on site
- High splitting force up to 5700 tons
- Stable performance in hard rock conditions
- Lower operational cost compared to separate machines
This integrated design significantly improves workflow efficiency. Contractors no longer need multiple machines to complete rock excavation tasks, which reduces fuel consumption and maintenance complexity.
YG Machinery designs the system with reinforced hydraulic components and optimised structural support to ensure long-term durability under heavy-duty working conditions.
Excavator Hydraulic Rock Splitter for 4x Productivity in Demolition and Mining
The excavator hydraulic rock splitter transforms standard excavators into high-performance rock breaking systems. By connecting directly to excavator hydraulic systems, it allows operators to perform drilling and splitting without additional machinery.
Performance benefits include:
- Direct hydraulic power from the excavator system
- Fast repositioning between drilling points
- Improved maneuverability in narrow job sites
- Reduced manpower requirements
- Continuous high-efficiency operation cycles
This configuration is especially useful in mining and urban demolition projects where space is limited and precision is required. Operators can complete multiple splitting cycles without repositioning large equipment, improving overall productivity.
YG Machinery ensures compatibility with different excavator models, offering stable hydraulic output and consistent splitting force across varying working conditions.
YG Rock Splitter for Excavator with Controlled Fracture Technology
The rock splitter for excavator uses controlled hydraulic expansion to create internal stress within drilled rock holes. This process allows rock to fracture along predictable lines without causing vibration or flying debris.
Working process:
- Drill a hole into the target rock structure
- Insert a splitting cylinder into the drilled hole
- Activate hydraulic pressure system
- Internal wedges expand outward
- Controlled rock fracture occurs
This method ensures high precision in demolition tasks, reducing secondary breaking and cleanup work. It is particularly useful in projects that require controlled excavation near sensitive structures such as bridges, tunnels, or residential buildings.
Unlike blasting, this system eliminates shock waves, making it safer for surrounding environments.

How the Rock Drill and Splitter System Delivers Synchronised Performance
The system operates through a synchronised drilling and splitting cycle that maximises efficiency and reduces downtime. First, the drilling unit creates a precise borehole in the rock. Then, the splitting unit applies high-pressure hydraulic force to expand internal wedges.
Core workflow:
- Step 1: Position drilling point
- Step 2: Drill precise hole (90–130mm range)
- Step 3: Insert splitting gun
- Step 4: Apply hydraulic pressure (60–80MPa)
- Step 5: Crack formation and separation
This integrated process reduces repeated machine setup and ensures consistent output across multiple cycles. It allows operators to complete excavation tasks faster compared to traditional drilling and blasting methods.
