Understanding Hydraulic Breaker Regassing and Repair Services
Hydraulic breakers are essential tools in construction and demolition, designed to split, crack, or shatter tough materials. However, like any piece of machinery, they require regular maintenance and servicing to ensure optimal performance. One critical aspect of maintaining hydraulic breakers is the regassing process, which involves replenishing the nitrogen gas that provides the necessary pressure for effective operation. In this article, we will explore the regassing services offered by RAW Plant Services, the importance of this process, and the typical repairs associated with hydraulic breakers.
What is Hydraulic Breaker Regassing?
Hydraulic breakers function by using hydraulic pressure to lift a piston against gas pressure situated in an accumulator or gas back head. This gas, typically nitrogen, is inert and crucial for the breaker’s performance. Over time, the gas can leak or deplete, leading to reduced efficiency and potential damage. Regassing is the process of refilling the hydraulic breaker with nitrogen to restore its optimal functionality.
The Regassing Process
RAW Plant Services is recognized as the UK’s leading hydraulic breaker regassing service provider. They offer a quick and efficient regassing service, capable of recharging almost any brand of hydraulic breaker—whether at their workshop or on-site. The typical steps involved in regassing a hydraulic breaker include:
- Inspection: Evaluate the hydraulic breaker for any external damage or wear.
- De-gassing: Safely release any remaining gas in the system.
- Recharging: Use a nitrogen gas bottle to refill the system to the appropriate pressure, typically between 14-16 bars for certain models.
- Testing: Conduct tests to ensure the hydraulic breaker is functioning correctly after the regassing process.
