Plug and Feather Wedges Traditional Splitting Wedge and Shims Plug and Feathers for Breaking Rock

Product overview

Core functionalities

Applicable scenarios

Unique advantages

  • Rock Splitting Precision: Designed for traditional plug-and-feather splitting methods, these wedges and shims enable controlled rock breaking in mining and construction. The cylindrical bodies with flat ends distribute force evenly, ensuring clean fractures.
  • Durable Material Construction: Crafted from high manganese steel and forged steel, the tools withstand heavy-duty stress, making them ideal for splitting hard rock and mineral deposits.

Key features

  • 1. Material Technology

  • With high manganese steel forged construction, ensure unmatched durability and resistance to wear in mining operations. ~30% harder than standard steel*, enabling prolonged use in abrasive rock-breaking scenarios.

  • 2. Interactive Design

  • The integrated elastic band securely holds wedges during storage and transport, preventing misalignment. Easier to organize and deploy compared to non-elastic designs*, reducing setup time on-site.

  • 3. Performance Parameters

  • A 38mm diameter provides a 20% larger contact area than 30mm models*, enhancing splitting power and stability for precise rock fragmentation. Optimized for compatibility with standard drilling equipment.

  • 4. Scenario Solutions

  • Designed for continuous commercial rock-breaking operations, ensuring reliable performance in heavy-duty mining or construction environments. Ideal for tasks requiring non-stop use, unlike consumer-grade tools*.

  • 5. Certification Standards

  • Constructed with industrial-grade materials (high manganese steel) to meet safety and durability standards for mining equipment. Compliance details subject to manufacturer confirmation.

Supplier's note

  1. Technical Breakthroughs:

    • High manganese steel: Triple the corrosion resistance of standard steel, enabling safe use in acidic mining environments.
    • Double-forged construction: Reduces breakage risk by 40% compared to single-forged tools.
    • Elastic band integration: Cuts storage time by 20% versus traditional loose tools.
  2. Version Selection Guide:

    • Base Model: Suitable for general construction tasks where cost efficiency is prioritized.
    • Advanced Model: Ideal for moderate mining operations requiring enhanced durability.
    • Pro Model: Designed for heavy-duty mining with extreme wear conditions (e.g., tunnel drilling). Its hybrid alloy and double-forged structure ensure longevity even in abrasive rock environments.

*Pro Model’s 30% wear resistance exceeds industry benchmarks by 18%.
