Deliver precision splitting power in a compact toolset. The Darda C2S provides up to ~195tons of effective splitting force in a 17kg handheld unit, making it ideal for controlled demolition of rock and concrete in tight, noisesensitive or lowaccess environments. With a drill hole just ~3132mm required and partially submerged settings supported, the C2S is designed for versatility, performance and minimal disturbance.
Design:The DardaC2S is a compact yet highpower hydraulic splitter designed for controlled breaking of rock and concrete in confined or sensitive environments.
- Effective splitting force: approximately 1913kN / 195tons for the C2S model (with theoretical force ~3490kN / 355t).
- Required drillhole diameter: approximately 3132mm. Minimum drillhole depth: ~270mm. Splitting distance ~9mm for the wedge set N.
- Weight: approximately 17kg (37lb) for the cylindrical unit, making it manageable for transport and location use.
- System pressure: up to 50MPa (500bar) hydraulic power required.
- Built with durable materials: the splitting cylinder is made of highquality aluminum and steel alloys, the counterwedges receive speciallyhardened/carbide surfaces for high wear resistance.
- The tool includes a control valve integrated in the handle, allowing the operator to predetermine the splitting direction and course. Robust multilayer hoses with burst protection connect to the highpressure hydraulic power unit.
- Because of its relatively small size and powerful output, it is especially designed for hardtoreach or lowheadroom locations, underground or underwater, and situations with vibration or noisesensitive settings.
In essence, the C2S offers high splitting performance in a compact package designed for precision removal rather than bulk demolition.
Applications:The DardaC2S is ideal in a variety of demanding and sensitive scenarios where conventional impact breakers or explosives are unsuitable.
- Secondary splitting of boulders or large rock blocks for removal in quarrying, tunnelling or trenching tasks due to its high force in small bore holes.
- Controlled demolition of concrete or rock in confined or inhabited areas where vibration, flying debris or dust must be minimized (e.g., inside buildings, under water, near delicate structures).
- Presspipe jacking, expansion work in underground mines or block extraction in the natural stone industry, where oneperson operation with minimal disturbance is beneficial.
- Rental fleet or servicecrew use: because the unit is portable and requires only a hydraulic power pack and hoses, it’s suitable for mobile operations, maintenance tasks, and specialty demolition.
