The TEHMA SP600 is a handheld hydraulic concrete and rock splitter designed for efficient and controlled demolition of large-thickness structures and rocks. A key component of this splitter is the counter wedge, which plays a crucial role in the splitting process.
- Design: The SP600 splitter is equipped with two high-quality steel counter wedges, engineered for reliability and durability. These wedges feature an anti-seize inner layer, reducing friction and enhancing resistance to high pressure during operation.
- Applications: The counter wedges in the SP600 are essential for:
Splitting Operations: After drilling a hole into the material, the splitter is inserted with the central wedge retracted. Upon activation, the central wedge advances, forcing the counter wedges apart and creating a controlled split in the material.
Enlarging Splits: For wider separations, the standard counter wedges can be replaced with thicker enlarging counter wedges. This process involves:
Placing the splitter on a flat surface with the central wedge fully retracted.
Releasing the clasp holding the counter wedge and replacing the standard wedge with an enlarging wedge.
Repositioning the clasp to secure the new wedge.
Repeating the process for the second counter wedge as needed.
This method allows for progressive widening of the initial split without generating vibrations, noise, or dust, making it suitable for sensitive environments such as hospitals, schools, and residential areas.
Regular maintenance, including lubrication of the contact faces between the central and counter wedges, is recommended to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the tool.
