Real Stories of Beilite Hydraulic Rock Hammer in Tough Environments

Time: 2025-08-21 09:52

From sub-zero mines to underwater, contractors keep coming back with the same line: “The hammer just didn't quit.” Below are real‑world case studies gathered from field reports and customer debriefs. The conditions, workflows, and results are true to life for crews running Beilite hydraulic rock hammer.

River Deepening Project

In a 2022 river dredging project, the Beilite BLTB210 underwater hammer was successfully installed on a Liugong 990 excavator. The project's goal was to deepen the river, primarily by clearing a large amount of silt and mud from the riverbed to restore and improve its navigability, while also enhancing flood control in the region. Through its efficient operation, the Beilite underwater hammer successfully completed this challenging task, fully demonstrating its powerful performance in complex underwater geological conditions.

River Diversion Project

Also in 2022, the Beilite BLTB175 underwater hammer played a key role in the river rehabilitation project. This model was mounted on a Carter 349 excavator, focusing on a comprehensive dredging and clearing of the riverbed. The project aimed to ensure smooth water flow through detailed river maintenance, preventing silt accumulation from impacting the ecological environment and water conservation functions. The precise operation and high efficiency of the Beilite underwater hammer provided strong support for ecological restoration and water management.

River Modification Project

As early as 2021, the Beilite BLTB210 underwater hammer was used in the river deepening project. The equipment was installed on a Sany 650 excavator, with the task of dredging and deepening the riverbed to meet the navigation requirements of large vessels. Facing the complex and variable underwater environment, the Beilite underwater hammer demonstrated its outstanding stability and powerful crushing capability, ensuring the smooth progress of the project and effectively enhancing the navigational value of the river.

Antarctic Project

In addition to its excellent performance in subsea engineering, the Beilite breaker has also successfully taken on the world's most severe environment—Antarctica. In 2021, the Beilite BLTB-200 breaker, along with a Liugong excavator, boarded the "Xuelong 2" icebreaker and headed to the Great Wall Station. Under the grueling test of extreme cold, blizzards, and permafrost, the breaker operated continuously for 24 hours, successfully completing its foundation-breaking task. This achievement made it the first "Made in China" breaker brand to be used for infrastructure work in Antarctica, fully proving its reliability and outstanding quality in extreme conditions.

Beilite Hammer Designs

Beilite hydraulic breakers are designed to fit diverse working environments, and the product range includes silenced (box type), open type, and side type designs:

Silenced (Box Type) Hydraulic Breakers Fully enclosed housing reduces noise and vibration, ideal for urban construction, tunneling, and night‑time work. The silence box also offers extra protection against dust, debris, and accidental impacts.
Open Type Hydraulic Breakers Known for simple structure, light weight, and easy maintenance, tower hammers are widely used in open quarries, road construction, and large‑scale rock excavation. Their design facilitates strong impact force and stable operation.
Side Type Hydraulic Breakers Compact and robust, triangle models offer excellent visibility and balance. They are suited for demolition, foundation works, and areas where space is limited. The triangular design optimizes stress distribution, improving service life of the breaker and carrier.
