Komatsu Rippers Features

- Outstanding Productivity

1. Superior ripping performance is achieved through a large operating weight, high engine output and a conventional drive undercarriage.

2. Large maximum penetration depth provides high ripper production.

3. The unique linkage design enables the ripper point to draw an ideal locus during cylinder tilting for effective excavation of embedded rocks.

In the KOMATSU linkage, the lift cylinder is mounted on the beam, causing the point to make an ideal movement when the tilt cylinder is actuated.
Thus, the range of digging angles practically available is wider than the conventional type range, giving excellent digging force.

- Minimum downtime

1. Large sectional area of the beam extends service life.

2. The forged ripper points are sharpened for excellent penetration and long service life.

- Easy operation

1. Optional pin puller facilitates change in digging depth.

The optional pin puller mechanism functions to insert or remove the pin from its hole. This is accomplished with a hydraulic cylinder and can be accomplished by an experienced operator, from within the cab. This feature thus provides a time savings benefit.

RIPPERS SELECTION

1- Multi-shank rippers (Rigid type)

Highly efficient ripping of soft rock is possible with three shanks. The parallelogram ripper linkage maintains the shanks at the optimum digging angle during operation, regardless of the shank's penetrating depth.

2- Multi-shank rippers (Variable type)

The ripper point angle can be varied hydraulically to suit the specific ground conditions.
The ideal movement of ripper points ensures powerful digging force throughout the entire digging angle range.

3- Giant rippers (Variable type)

Specially made to handle hard rock with reinforced beam and a shank. The tilt angle of the ripper point is adjustable for better penetration and fragmentation.
