How does the RAY Vibro Ripper work?

According to industry experts, the majority of hydraulic hammer breakdowns (around 99%) occur due to improper usage, specifically when using them as rippers. The RAY Vibro Ripper, which has been on the market for over 12 years, is a unique tool that combines the benefits of a hammer and a conventional ripper. However, there are still many people who are unaware of its existence or who confuse it with a vibro ripper.

Many professionals make the mistake of using a hammer both to chop and drag material towards themselves, causing damage to the equipment. This is because hammers are not designed for this purpose, and neither are they designed to chop at angles other than a perpendicular one. Such misuse not only damages the hammer but also the excavator. Therefore, the RAY Vibro Ripper was created to address these issues and provide a more efficient and effective solution for excavating and demolition work.

The RAY Vibro Ripper is designed to fulfill the dual purpose of chopping and dragging material, as well as providing the option to change the angle for more efficient material removal. The patented "impact technology by accumulation of energy" is achieved through the combination of an eccentric system and an energy accumulator. This distinguishes it from a vibro ripper, which relies on vibration instead of impact. The RAY Vibro Ripper is constructed entirely of anti-wear steel and can even be used underwater without any risk of damage or modification. Its numerous applications include excavation, frozen ground, demolition, recycling, mining, and dredging. It is also less noisy than other digging tools, as confirmed by a noise level comparison with a hydraulic hammer.

In terms of productivity, the RAY Vibro Ripper is at least twice as productive as a hydraulic hammer and can be up to four times more productive depending on the material being excavated. It is highly efficient in materials such as concrete, quartzite, limestone, slate, marl, asphalt, and plaster, but less so in extremely hard materials like granite or marble.

The RAY Vibro Ripper is also environmentally beneficial in several ways. It consumes fewer wear parts, reducing waste. Its greater productivity reduces fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. It provides an efficient alternative to drilling and blasting, reducing environmental risks. It produces less noise pollution and the chambers containing lubricants are sealed to eliminate the possibility of leaks. The oils and greases used are also biodegradable.
