Hydraulic Breakers and Attachments for Mining, Tunneling, and Quarrying

Optimizing Surface and Underground Rock Excavation with ACDE® Europe and BEILITE® Europe

Efficient and controlled rock excavation is critical in mining, tunneling, and quarrying operations. Traditional methods such as blasting are increasingly restricted due to environmental regulations, safety concerns, and the need for precise excavation. Hydraulic breakers and specialized attachments from ACDE® Europe and BEILITE® Europe offer a safer, more controlled, and cost-effective alternative for primary and secondary rock breaking in surface and underground mining applications.

BEILITE ® Europe BLTB-5 Series Hydraulic Breakers: Primary and Secondary Rock Excavation

Hydraulic breakers are the most effective method for secondary breaking, reducing oversized boulders in the rock pile without the risks associated with blasting. This approach improves overall safety while increasing the efficiency of material processing.

In primary rock excavation, BEILITE ® Europe BLTB-5 Series breakers provide an environmentally friendly alternative to blasting, minimizing vibrations, noise, and the production of fine material that may be unsuitable for applications such as road construction. Selective mining with hydraulic breakers also enables the excavation of higher-quality material, increasing profitability.

For underwater rock excavation, all BEILITE® Europe hydraulic breaker models with „W” designation are equipped with underwater kits, ensuring that the percussion chamber remains under pressure to prevent water ingress. These breakers are ideal for harbor deepening, underwater trenching, and dredging applications.

Dust Control and Environmental Compliance: Water Spraying System

In tunneling, mining, and demolition, dust suppression is a key challenge. ACDE® Europe offers an integrated Water Spraying System to reduce airborne dust and improve visibility and worker safety. This system includes:

• Water tank, pump, and piping system
• Spray plate and nozzle for optimal dust control
• Compatibility with both sound-suppressed and top-mount hydraulic breaker models

These solutions ensure compliance with environmental and occupational safety regulations, reducing dust-related hazards and equipment wear.

ACDE® Europe ARG–Series Stone Grapples – Precision Handling in Tough Environments

Once the rock is broken, efficient handling is crucial for mining and tunneling operations. The ACDE® Europe ARG–Series rock grapples provide:

• High clamping force for heavy rock handling
• Reinforced construction for high-impact applications
• Optimized kinematics for improved grip and material control

Designed for handling boulders, rock debris, and large stone blocks, the ACDE® Europe  ARG–Series ensures efficiency in both mining and tunneling projects.

ACDE® Europe AMG–Series Multi-Grapples – Versatility for Aggregates and Bulk Materials

For transporting sand, gravel, and other aggregates, ACDE® Europe AMG Series multi-grapples provide unmatched versatility with:

• Low weight and short height, ideal for tight workspaces
• Motionless cylinders with end damping, reducing wear and extending service life
• Closed shell design for secure material handling
• Optional side plates, allowing use as a two-shell grab for bulk loading operations

Quarrying: The Right Tools for Every Step

In quarrying, hydraulic breakers play a crucial role in primary rock excavation and secondary breaking, reducing the need for explosives while increasing precision and efficiency. The BLTB-5 Series hydraulic hammers deliver powerful impact force, making them ideal for hard rock fragmentation, boulder breaking, and overburden removal.

For material handling, the ACDE® Europe ARG–Series rock grapples ensure safe and efficient movement of large stone blocks, while the ACDE® Europe AMG–Series multi-grapples offer excellent performance in handling aggregates, sand, and gravel. This combination allows quarry operators to streamline extraction, processing, and transportation, ultimately improving operational efficiency and reducing costs.

Shaping the Future of Mining, Tunneling, and Quarrying

By combining BLTB-5 Series hydraulic breakers for rock fragmentation, ACDE® Europe  ARG–Series rock grapples for block handling, and AMG Series multi-grapples for aggregate transport, ACDE® Europe provides complete mining, tunneling, and quarrying solutions.

• Greater efficiency in rock excavation and material handling
• Reduced environmental impact with dust suppression and selective mining
• Lower operating costs by eliminating unnecessary blasting and minimizing fine material waste
