Aside from advanced hydraulics and innovative materials, safety and reliability are two areas where Rammer continues to break new ground. Rammer rockbreakers have become the go-to solution for the toughest mining, quarrying and demolition applications across Australia.
Achieving longer life from your equipment and keeping your workers safe is something every industrial operation searches for.
Preventative maintenance not only keeps your gear running for extended periods and minimises downtime, but it protects personnel from potential risk if more serious or larger scale repairs are required.
Some studies have reported that accidents are five times more likely when working on breakdowns compared to when undertaken during planned and scheduled maintenance jobs.
This is where Rammer’s reputation for reliability and safety comes, a result of over 40 years of product development, technical expertise and international maintenance programs with their world-first RD3 hydraulic rockbreaker monitoring technology.
According to Rammer Product Line Lifecycle Manager for Rockbreakers, Esa Sjönberg, the company’s powerful flagship rockbreakers and hydraulic booms are purpose-built to tackle crushing, screening and loading work safely and efficiently.
“Our Excellence Line are designed with the intention of increasing customer productivity at site level, particularly in challenging conditions where a lot is expected from the equipment being used,” said Sjönberg.
“This has led to the development of key product features that have become world-renowned for safety, productivity and reliability.
“Our large rockbreaker range combines advanced hydraulics, unique operating principles, quality materials and an excellent power-to-weight ratio, making them the powerful and reliable choice for miners.”
The rockbreakers feature a built-in pressure adjusting valve, guaranteeing each blow is delivered with maximum power, while an optimised piston design transfers the maximum energy to every blow for greater productivity in all applications.
They are manufactured with robust components and high-quality steel, providing extra durability throughout the breaker lifecycle. This is further enhanced by a wear resistant lower boot and heavy-duty housing option, as well as membrane type accumulator that eliminates gas leakage during operations, and subsequently the need to recharge on site.
All Excellence Line rockbreakers are equipped with the RD3 monitoring device that allows operators to receive detailed information about the rockbreaking operation in real-time via the cloud based SAM platform. With RD3, operators can manage service periods and minimise machinery downtime by scheduling maintenance during times that have minimal impact on production, and mitigate disruptions to mining processes.
Adaptable Hydraulic Booms
Rammer Product Line Lifecycle Manager for Mining Solutions and Other Attachment Tools, Fernando Marques, said the Rammer boom package, which consists of a rockbreaker, boom, power pack and full electrification system, offers a complete turnkey solution to improve a company’s profitability.
“The Rammer solution allows quick and efficient breaking of rock boulders and bridging due to the optimised positioning of the rockbreaker.
“Our different boom models offer multiple possibilities for hydraulic power and reach, which gives a higher great of operational flexibility.
“Additionally, the modular mechanical design means the equipment is easy to assemble, safe to service, and reliable to use, for achieving higher uptime.”
“Rammer operators will also experience longer equipment life and reduced downtime thanks to the quality, durable components such as impact-absorbing pedestal, heavy-duty cylinders and hoses.”
Stepping Up Sustainability
Rammer continues to set the standards in rockbreaking innovation. The company is committed to manufacturing quality products that improve safety, whilst minimising their environmental impact.
The company adopts a sustainable approach to its manufacturing facilities and supply chains. Rammer rockbreakers are designed with the environment and responsible sourcing practices in mind.
“Rammer customers can trust the materials used in their rockbreakers are responsibly sourced,” said Sjönberg.
“When a Rammer rockbreaker reaches the end of its working life, the steel is 100 per cent recyclable.
“Robust safety risk assessments, sustainability plans and certification form an integral part of our new product development process. Rammer has built a reputation based on safety and quality, and this is reflection of our cutting-edge manufacturing practices.”
