Description of the granted funding
A fully electrical impact hammer (LEH) is proposed in this project in order to address the fundamental limitations from hydraulic breaker hammers (HBHs), as well as fostering opportunities in regard to electric transformation, digitalization (DigiLeka) and data based business in the construction and mining industries. This novel patented technological innovation is based on the tubularic linear permanent magnet motor. Compared to HBHs, LEH reduces CO2 emissions up to 100%, saves energy up to 60%, ends oil spills and excessive consumption of hydraulic oil, is fully adjustable, increases safety, lowers noise and tremor levels, provides significant life-cycle-cost savings (80000 EUR/hammer in 4 years), increases performance and precision, and allows adjusting striking sequence. This project will result in a totally new approach to hammering process in mining and construction providing a ground-breaking cost efficient, digitalized, connected, safe, environmental and user friendly solution.
