    A vibro ripper is a specialized attachment used in construction and excavation machinery, such as excavators, designed to efficiently break up hard or compact materials like rock, frozen ground, or asphalt. Here's a detailed breakdown:

    Key Features and Mechanism:

    1. Vibration Technology:

    • Integrates high-frequency vibrations (typically hydraulic-powered) with traditional ripping action. The vibrations reduce friction and material resistance, allowing the ripper to penetrate and fracture surfaces more effectively.

    2. Design:

    • Consists of a shank or tooth that penetrates the ground, often paired with a vibratory motor. The vibration is usually concentrated near the tip to maximize material disruption.


    3. Hydraulic Power:

    • Utilizes the host machine's hydraulic system to generate vibrations, enabling adjustable frequency and force for different materials.

    Applications:

    • Construction: Trenching, site preparation, and demolition.

    • Mining/Quarrying: Breaking rock or extracting minerals.

    • Roadwork: Removing asphalt or frozen surfaces.

    • Utility Installation: Precise digging in challenging soils.

    Features of Vibro Ripper

    • Eco friendly and noiseless, ideal for works on urban location

    • Workable in frozen earth(-20°) and under water conditions without extra air conditioner.

    • Bucket tooth and wear-resistent tips is optional

    • Double motors and double vibrate cases increase the vibrate power

    • All main components is famous brand which assure high quality.

    • 3 – 5 times higher productivity than a traditional breaker
