A brief overview of chisel hammers and their applications

?Chisel hammers are versatile tools that can be used in a wide range of industries. These robust and powerful devices made by MD Drucklufttechnik are ideal for breaking up stubborn materials, working on surfaces or removing deposits. Whether you work in a foundry, with expander sealing plugs in the hydraulic industry, in the construction industry, agriculture or even in food processing - a chisel hammer can help you get your jobs done efficiently and effectively.

The best areas of application for chisel hammers

Chisel hammers are true all-rounders and can be used in a wide range of industries. In addition to the applications already mentioned in gravel plants and feed production, there are numerous other possible uses:

1. Construction industry: removing concrete from molds, from masonry or tiles; preparing surfaces for renovations, especially when renewing clinker joints.

2. Foundry: cleaning of cast parts, sand core removal, renewal of refractory components, slag removal

3. Recycling: crushing materials such as wood, metal or plastic

4. Mining: loosening rock and minerals

5. Hydraulics: closing holes with expander sealing plugs

6. Feed processing: removing buildup in silos, hoppers or on conveyor systems

No matter what industry you work in - with a chisel hammer you have a versatile tool that helps you with numerous tasks. Discover the possibilities and use your chisel hammer creatively to make your work easier and faster.

Chisel hammer applications in gravel plants: removing gravel blockages on conveyor belts

In gravel plants, chisel hammers are ideal for freeing conveyor belts, hoppers or other plant parts from stubborn deposits and incrustations. Gravel, mud or other materials often build up on the belts over time, hindering the smooth transport of materials. With a chisel hammer, you can effectively remove these deposits without damaging the conveyor belt itself. By using the hammer in a targeted manner, the deposits are quickly and easily removed so that your gravel plant can work smoothly again. In gravel processing in particular, it is important that all components function smoothly - a chisel hammer helps you avoid downtimes caused by clogged belts. In addition, chisel hammers can also be used to clear silos in other areas of stubborn residues.

Inquiry from feed production

Sometimes new application possibilities for chisel hammers arise through unexpected inquiries from specific industries. This happened in a feed plant that approached us to find a solution to a specific problem. In feed production, it is common for residues and deposits to form in silos or on conveyor systems. These deposits can significantly disrupt the production process and lead to a loss of quality. The company was looking for an effective tool to solve these problems - and found the perfect solution in our chisel hammer.

Knock off buildup in the silo with a chisel hammer

In addition to the conveyor belts in gravel works, silos are also a typical area of application for chisel hammers. Especially in the storage and processing of bulk goods such as grain, animal feed or fertilizers, cat litter or even cement, buildup often occurs on the inside walls of the silo. These residues can hinder the smooth discharge of material and even lead to blockages. With a chisel hammer that is precisely matched in terms of impact energy, you can remove the buildup in a targeted and effective manner without damaging sensitive system components yourself. The targeted use of the hammer loosens the deposits quickly and easily, so that your silo functions smoothly again.

In addition, chisel hammers can also be used to remove residues from hoppers, conveyor screws or other system components. Especially in bulk material processing, it is important that all components function smoothly - a chisel hammer helps you with this. We are always open to unexpected and seemingly impossible requests - and often find completely new uses for our chisel hammers.

Tips for choosing the right chisel hammer: weight and coordinated impact force

?When choosing a chisel hammer, there are a few important factors to consider in order to find the right device for your needs. In addition to impact force, weight plays a crucial role. A chisel hammer that is too heavy can quickly lead to fatigue and make work more difficult, while a model that is too light may se does not develop the necessary impact force. Therefore, choose a chisel hammer that meets your individual requirements.

Consider the following points:

? Weight: A chisel hammer for eliminating system malfunctions should be neither too heavy nor too light. A weight between 0.8 and 3 kg is ideal in most cases.

? Impact force: The impact force of the chisel hammer must be tailored to the materials to be worked on. For hard surfaces such as concrete, you need more impact force than for softer materials; with less impact force, the surrounding system material is also less damaged.

? Ergonomics: Make sure the handle is ergonomically designed so that you can use the chisel hammer comfortably and without fatigue. The use of special swivel joints that decouple the compressed air hose from the tool is particularly recommended in narrow areas.

? Vibration dampening: Modern chisel hammers often have integrated vibration dampening systems that reduce the strain on your hands and arms.

Large selection of wide and flat chisels in the right lengths

In addition to the chisel hammer itself, choosing the right chisel is also crucial to the success of your work. Depending on the application, you will need different shapes and sizes of chisel heads. We offer you a large selection of wide and flat chisels in different lengths that are perfectly tailored to your needs: Wide chisels are ideal for efficiently working on large areas, such as when removing concrete or masonry. Flat chisels, on the other hand, are ideal for more precise work in confined spaces or in hard-to-reach places.

Choose the chisel shape and length that best suits your specific requirements. Our team will be happy to advise you so that you can find the optimal accessories for your chisel hammer.

Transfer available solutions, knowledge and experience in other fields to create new solutions

Another exciting challenge was the request from an integrator who wanted to compact prefabricated clay walls in its forms using a robot and some suitable tools. The fear that the recoil force of the hammer could damage the robot gears over time was definetely given - but with the right solutions from MD Ducklufttechnik GmbH & Co. KG and a clever integration, even difficult application ideas can become reality.

Conclusion: The versatility of the chisel hammer for different applications

Chisel hammers are true all-rounders that can be used in a wide variety of industries and applications. From removing stubborn deposits in silos and on conveyor belts to working on surfaces or crushing materials - chisel hammers are irreplaceable in many areas. Discover the possibilities and use chisel hammers creatively. With the right chisel hammer for your application, you will not only work more efficiently, but also protect your health.
