Mining & Quarrying
Durable performance in quarries and mining sites.
Durable performance in quarries and mining sites
In open-pit and underground mines and quarries, the work revolves around extracting ore and rock, reducing oversized boulders after blasting and removing the overburden. Hard, abrasive conditions strain equipment; uptime and safety determine productivity.
HKM attachments offer flexible solutions from blast-free primary breaking to secondary boulder breaking. With heavy-class breakers, drum cutters for controlled excavation and crusher buckets that size material on site, they keep efficiency high in mining and quarry operations.
Related Products
Blast-free primary and secondary breaking
Works in blast-free primary breaking of hard rock and secondary fragmentation of oversized boulders after blasting. Eases overburden removal and permitting; heavy-class models are long-lived in abrasive rock.
Controlled excavation in medium-hard rock
Profiles and excavates in medium-hard and layered formations where conventional digging is weak and percussive systems fall short. Provides precision in slope and wall shaping with low vibration.
Surface and slope with axial milling
The vertical (axial) drum works with high material throughput in leveling wide surfaces and slope correction. Offers efficiency in precise in-pit work with blast-free, low-vibration excavation.
On-site sizing
Grinds extracted rock and ore to the desired size on site; reduces the need to haul material to a separate crusher plant. Keeps material flow continuous with fast sizing.
High machine utilization
Lowers machine idle time with fast switching between breaker, bucket and ripper. Increases operator safety on tough quarry ground.
Blast-free loosening
Rips soft-to-medium layered or weathered formations and frozen ground without blasting. Provides large-volume loosening with high single-tooth penetration.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which attachments are used in mining and quarrying?
Heavy-class hydraulic breakers for hard rock, drum cutters for selective excavation, crusher buckets and rippers for material handling are common.
What to consider when choosing a heavy breaker?
Rock hardness, carrier tonnage and daily working hours are decisive. High impact energy and a robust body deliver output and life in quarry conditions.
Do you offer site-specific solutions?
Yes. For abrasive, dusty environments we recommend suitable tools and lubrication, and plan spare-part supply too.
