Hydraulic Breaker Regassing and Repair Services: The Ultimate Guide by RAW Plant Services
In the realm of construction and heavy machinery, hydraulic breakers play a pivotal role in tasks like demolition and excavation. However, the efficiency of these powerful tools depends heavily on proper maintenance, particularly regassing. At RAW Plant Services, we pride ourselves on being the UK’s leading provider of hydraulic breaker regassing and repair services. This article will delve into the importance of regassing, the process involved, and the extensive range of services we offer.
What is Hydraulic Breaker Regassing?
Hydraulic breakers function by using hydraulic pressure to lift a piston against gas pressure that is typically contained within an accumulator or gas back head. Nitrogen gas is commonly used in this process due to its inert properties. Over time, as the hydraulic breaker is used, the gas pressure can diminish, leading to decreased performance. Regassing is the process of replenishing this gas, ensuring that the hydraulic breaker operates at optimal efficiency.

- Identify the Need for Regassing: Signs include decreased performance or loss of power.
- Prepare the Equipment: Ensure the hydraulic breaker is disconnected from the power source.
- Access the Gas Chamber: Remove the necessary components to reach the gas back head.
- Replenish Nitrogen Gas: Use a nitrogen gas cylinder to refill the gas chamber to the required pressure.
