The DARDAC10S offers precisioncontrolled splitting of concrete and rock with minimal vibration, dust or noise. Operating on the proven wedgeprinciple and powered by a highpressure hydraulic pump (~500 bar), this handheld unit allows contractors, quarries and demolition specialists to confidently split materials even in restricted or sensitive environments.
Design:The DARDAC10S is a highperformance handheld hydraulic splitting cylinder designed for controlled demolition of concrete and rock, particularly in applications requiring precision and minimal disturbance.
- Operates under high system pressure (typically up to ~500 bar / 50 MPa) with matching hydraulic power unit.
- Safe wedge principle: a drilled hole is prepared, the wedge set (one central wedge + two counterwedges) is inserted, then hydraulic pressure forces the wedge apart, splitting the material from the inside.
- High powertoweight ratio: for example, sources list the C10S at ~32 kg weight, with drillhole around 4143mm and minimum drill depth ~560 mm.
- Built for durability and versatility: aluminum & steel construction, hardened carbide layering on wedge surfaces, multilayer hydraulic hoses with burst protection, directional control handle.
- Quiet, lowvibration, lowdust operation suitable for confined areas, indoor use, or even underwater.
Applications:This splitter unit (with the corresponding power pack) is ideal for jobs where precision, minimal vibration and low noise are required.
- Controlled demolition of reinforced or unreinforced concrete structures (e.g., foundations, walls, floor slabs) where traditional breakers or blasting might cause unacceptable disturbance.
- Quarrying or stoneblock extraction tasks (especially for burnt blocks or stuck stone slabs) where the C10S is noted to be specifically suited.
- Work in enclosed or sensitive environments (hospitals, schools, residential buildings, historic structures) where dust and vibration must be minimized.
- Confinedaccess, underwater or overhead splitting jobs thanks to the handheld design and portability.
- Preparing splits in rock for mining, tunnelling or trenching where controlled fracture is required.
