How Does Nitrogen Become the Key to Efficient Crushing Operations?

Behind the powerful impact force of the excavator breaker hammer, nitrogen plays a crucial role, rightfully earning the title of the equipment's "power heart".

Nitrogen primarily functions as a "high-pressure spring" within the breaker hammer. Sealed inside the hammer's nitrogen chamber, it gets compressed by the piston during operation—much like coiling a giant spring—thereby storing energy.

At the moment of release, the compressed nitrogen expands instantaneously, generating tremendous thrust that converts hydraulic energy into powerful impact energy. This drives the piston to strike the tool steel at extremely high speed, effectively breaking apart hard rock or concrete.

Compared to purely hydraulic systems, the nitrogen-assisted system delivers a stronger single impact force, increasing work efficiency by over 30%. Moreover, nitrogen's cushioning properties effectively absorb recoil vibrations during operation, reducing shock damage to the excavator itself and extending the equipment's service life.

Why choose nitrogen over other gases? Because Nitrogen is chemically stable, non-flammable, and non-explosive. Its dry and pure quality prevents oxidation and corrosion of internal components, ensuring safe and reliable performance under various working conditions.

With ongoing technological advancements, newer breaker hammer models are achieving higher energy utilization rates through optimized nitrogen chamber design and pressure control. This seemingly simple gas application technology has now become a key indicator for measuring breaker hammer performance.
