Stationary Rockbreaker Boom Systems are similar to the small series booms, but are designed for heavier open-pit and underground applications. Quarries and mines typically use Sandvik medium range booms to improve the productivity of stationary crushers by feeding material into the crusher and by raking the hopper area.
When excavating and processing rock, the primary stone crusher becomes blocked by larger pieces of boulders and it is precisely the rock breaker boom system which solves the dangerous and laborious problem of clearing these boulders in the crusher. It is also used during primary crushing on frames. The relevant parameters are chosen for the rock breaker boom system depending on the given use: size and method, reaches, lifting capacity, the size of the hydraulic hammer and the output of the hydraulic unit.
