On time for bauma 2010, the specialist in gripping and laying technology from Erdmannhausen in Southern Germany launched a block splitter among other innovations for in-plant use.
Herman Peters KG from Rheinau-Freistett/Germany needed a small block-splitter for processing small series and materials testing. The company, however, soon found out that the dimensions of commercially available products on the market were too large for the intended application and would therefore not be a cost-efficient financial solution.
As is often the case in medium-sized companies, an individual, customized solution was developed in-house to solve the problem.
Together with a machine shop that, moreover, has a hydraulic department, one started to work intensively on the “in-house development.”
Probst was invited to join in the talks in search for a solution already at a very early stage. An intensive transfer of know-how among all three companies finally led to the desired result: the creation of a high-performance and reliable block splitter, intentionally kept compact – a powerful down-sized alternative. The block splitter builds on the many years’ experience of three user-oriented companies and sets new standards.
The SSP 300-500-20 is suitable for splitting concrete blocks up to a width of 500 mm and a block height of up to 300 mm. The splitting force of up to 20 t is more than adequate for small series and tests and brings perfect splitting results. The SSP 300-500-20, thanks to its compact dimensions, can be transported by forklift and can therefore quickly reach its destination.
