Breaking

Complete solutions for efficient rock breaking

Oversized rock and blockages can stop a productive operation in its tracks. Normet Xrock offers a complete range of rock-breaking solutions designed to keep material moving safely and efficiently in underground and surface mining, aggregates, tunnelling and construction.

From breaker booms and hydraulic breakers to attachments, power units and advanced tele-operated control systems, every component works together as one reliable solution. The result is the reach, impact power and control you need at crushers, grizzlies, ore passes, draw points and other breaking areas. Backed by decades of rock-breaking expertise and a global service network, Xrock helps you reduce exposure to hazardous working areas, limit unplanned interruptions and build a solution that can evolve with your operation. Rock breaking is a critical link in the material-flow chain. When a large boulder blocks a crusher, grizzly or ore pass, production can slow or stop. We assess the working area, carrier or fixed installation, rock conditions, required reach and breaker size to match the solution to the job, without adding unnecessary complexity.

Versatile range of breaker booms

At a crusher or grizzly, one oversized rock can become a process bottleneck. Normet Xrock breaker boom systems provide controlled, on-demand breaking beside the material-flow point, helping you clear blockages and return the process to productive operation.

Xrock offers solutions from compact to heavy-duty breaker boom systems for mobile, stationary and gyratory crushing. Application-specific reach and breaker combinations help place impact energy where it is needed while protecting surrounding structures and supporting efficient crusher feeding.

For grizzlies, ore passes and other underground transfer points, Xrock systems help break oversized material at the obstruction. Local, remote and automated control options let you choose the operating model that fits your process and safety strategy.

Normet Xrock attachments

Xrock attachments expand the capabilities of compatible boom systems beyond breaking oversized. From hydraulic breakers and grapples to magnets, each attachment is designed for reliable integration and helps make breaking, clearing, sorting and material handling safer and more efficient.

Hydraulic breakers matched to the carrier

Xrock hydraulic hammers are available across small, medium and large ranges for excavators from 4 to 120 tonnes. Closely spaced sizes make it easier to match breaker weight, oil flow and impact performance to the carrier and application. Options are available for demanding conditions, including abrasive rock, heat-resistant and underwater applications.

Turn an existing loader into a mobile breaking tool

The Xrock Extension Carriage converts compatible loaders into versatile mobile breakers. By handling large rock closer to its source, the system reduces rehandling, helps mucking resume sooner and extends the productive use of existing fleet assets. The integrated carriage is matched with an Xrock hydraulic breaker and supported through one supplier.

Change attachments quickly and safely

Xquick® couplers enable fully automatic attachment changes from the operator cabin. Fast tool changes, automatic hose closure and protected hydraulic connections reduce setup time, manual handling and the risk of oil leakage, so one boom or carrier can perform more tasks efficiently.

Remote, automated and autonomous rock breaking

Moving the operator away from the breaking zone improves working conditions and gives the team a clearer, more consistent way to manage rock breaking. Xrock Automation is a modular, upgradable platform for local control, tele-remote single-boom operation, centralized multi-boom control and autonomous rock breaking.

Tele-operated single-boom control

Operate a pedestal boom from a remote, ergonomic station using live camera views. Collision prevention, smart video tracking, programmable positions and optional safety-zone monitoring help the operator work accurately while reducing unnecessary equipment movement.

Centralized multi-boom control

One operator can manage multiple breaker booms from a central control room. Networked stations, fast switching between booms and shared assistance functions help sites use operator time more effectively and maintain coverage across the operation.

Autonomous breaking for grizzly applications

Xrock Autobreaker combines visual boulder recognition, work-area awareness, autonomous boom control and optimized strike sequencing to identify and break oversized material without an operator in the hazardous working zone. Integrated with Xrock Automation, it is designed to support consistent rock flow in grizzly applications.
