IHC HYDROHAMMERS
The hydraulically operated IHC Hydrohammer® is unique because of its combination of a solid one-piece ram (including pistonnes rod) and a fully enclosed hammer housing. The result is an elegant yet extremely robust, tireless and reliable hammer.
Hydrohammer® benefits:
. Modular structure:
extremely low risk of breakdown
. Easy-to-use control system:
guarantees operational reliability
. Straightforward maintenance & repair:

. Adjustable blow rate:
avoid resonance vibration in surrounding built-up area
The Hydrohammer® is available in two series: the S-series and the SC-series, which are suitable for steel, concrete and wooden piles.
S-Series
The ram of the S-series receives a greater part of its energy from acceleration by the gas buffer than that of the SC-series. This makes the S-series models ideal for sinking steel piles, H-beams and offshore piles.
SC-Series
The SC-series is better suited to sinking concrete piles that are susceptible to tensile stresses because of their relatively heavy weight. This hammer is also a better choice if a universal hammer is required for different types of piling.
The maximum impact velocity at which the ram of the SC-series strikes the anvilplate is very much lower than that of the S-series, while the masses of the rams are greater. The SC-hammers are consequently heavier and more compact than the S-hammers. |
