Description

The DARDAC12 delivers unmatched handheld splitting power: up to ~413tons of force in a ~31kg cylinder, designed for heavyduty splitting of rock or reinforced concrete. Paired with a matching hydraulic power pack and hose set, this kit offers professional contractors, rental fleets and specialist installers a compact, highcapacity solution for controlled demolition in difficult environments.

Design:The DARDAC12 is a highperformance handheld hydraulic splitter engineered for controlled fracturing of rock and reinforced concrete. It is part of DARDAs flagship handheld splitting cylinder line.

• Splitting force up to ~413tons (4,048kN) for the L version (and ~358tons for the N version) in one compact unit.
• Requires drillhole diameter of approx. 4548mm, with minimal drill depth of ~610mm (N version) or ~680mm (L version).
• Weight of the splitting cylinder is ~31kg (N version) or ~32kg (L version).
• Operates on highpressure hydraulic power (system pressure up to ~500bar) for the wedge action.
• Designed with the safe wedge principle drill a hole, insert the wedge & counter wedges, then hydraulic pressure separates the material from within, creating a controlled split with low vibration and noise.
• Materials: the cylinder body is machined from highquality aluminum and steel alloys to combine strength with manageable weight; counter wedges are carbidehardened for durability when splitting reinforced concrete or hard rock.

Applications: This splitter kit is designed for demanding demolition and splitting tasks where precision, minimal disturbance and operator mobility are required.

• Splitting heavily reinforced concrete structures: pile heads, bridge abutments, thick slabs, foundations, retaining walls especially where conventional breakers or explosives are impractical or undesirable.
• Quarrying or stone working: splitting large boulders, rock blocks for dimension stone, underground tunnelling where controlled removal is needed.
• Confined spaces, inhabited areas, indoor or underwater jobs where low noise, low vibration and minimal flying debris are critical.
• Operations where one portable unit can be deployed instead of large machinery rental fleets, service contractors, maintenance crews.
• Wherever drilling a 4548mm diameter hole is feasible and a clean, controlled split is desired rather than blasting or jackhammering.
