That’s why heavy-duty rockbreakers are an invaluable piece of equipment in situations where extremely tough rock must be fragmented efficiently and safely.

In this blog, we examine different types of rockbreaking solutions and their applications.

What is heavy-duty rockbreaker?

Rockbreakers generally consist of three key components:

• A hydraulic hammer that breaks the rock 
• A boom that positions the hammer 
• A hydraulic power system that ensures a sufficient and consistent level of force

These components work in concert to repeatedly strike rocks until they fracture into smaller pieces, thus carrying out the rock-breaker function.

Designed to deliver greater strength, faster operation, and improved durability, these rockbreakers also offer longer maintenance intervals and lower overall life cycle costs, reflecting Transmin’s ongoing commitment to practical, high-performance design.

The series is made up of three models: the 100, 130, and 160 Series. All models include the following features:

• Heavy-duty cylinders suited to the toughest conditions 
• Taper lock bush assembly mechanical locking system
• Optional RockLogic remote control for ease of use 
• Proven components that align with industry standards

100 Series BoomerHD rockbreakers

Key Specifications

• Vertical reach: up to 6.9m
• Horizontal reach: up to 10.6m

Applications
The BoomerHD 100 Series is designed for medium-to-large-scale mining and minerals processing operations, particularly at grizzly and gyratory crusher stations. Its compact design, high tensile strength, and controlled hydraulic performance make it ideal for installations where space is limited but reliability and precision are crucial.

130 Series BoomerHD rockbreakers

Key Specifications

• Vertical reach: up to 8.7m
• Horizontal reach: up to 13.8m
• Rock UCS: 100–320MPa

Applications
The BoomerHD 130 Series is engineered for heavy-duty mining operations requiring greater reach and impact capability. It’s well-suited for large crusher stations and high-throughput material handling zones, where it provides extended coverage and higher hydraulic pressures for improved breaking efficiency.

160 Series BoomerHD rockbreakers

Key Specifications

• Vertical reach: up to 11.8m
• Horizontal reach: up to 17.5m
• Rock UCS: 160–320MPa Plus

Applications
The BoomerHD 160 Series is Transmin’s largest and most powerful rockbreaker, purpose-built for ultra-heavy-duty mining and minerals processing environments. With its twin-drive hydraulic system and exceptional reach, it is capable of breaking extremely hard rock efficiently in large fixed plant installations and continuous operations.
