What is Hydraulic Impact Pile Hammer?

Ram – the core component that delivers the blow

✅ Role:

– This is the most critical aspect, as it is responsible for imparting the impact force that is required to strike the pile

– It moves up and down via a hydraulic cylinder, generating impact energy to gradually insert the pile into the ground.

Features:

– The weight of the Ram and the impact velocity are critical factors that determine the power and striking force of the pile hammer.

– In general, heavier rams allow for deeper and stronger pile insertion.

– The adjustable impact force renders it suitable for utilization with various pile materials, including steel, concrete, and wood.

Drive Cap – a protective device that transmits impact force

✅ Role:

– The Ram does not directly strike the pile, but transmits the impact through the Drive Cap.

– It serves to protect the pile from damage by distributing the impact evenly.

✅ Features:

– Depending on the material of the pile (steel, concrete, wood), the Drive Cap is designed differently.

– These devices are designed to enhance the impact, thereby mitigating the risk of pile breakage and optimizing the transfer efficiency of impact forces.

– Customized Drive Caps are also available for specific projects.

Pile Cap – Pile protection and impact mitigation

✅ Role:

– Protects the top of the pile and acts as a shock mitigator when the impact is transmitted through the Drive Cap.

– It serves to distribute the blow so that the pile can be inserted into the ground evenly.

✅ Features:

– Different types of Pile Caps are used depending on the type of pile (steel, concrete, wood).

– If the Pile Cap is not properly fitted, the pile may lose its balance and become skewed.

– It is an important part that distributes the impact evenly, helping the pile to remain intact and have a long life.

Power Pack – The energy source of the hydraulic system.

✅ Role:

– The key source of power to operate the hydraulic system.

– The primary function of the system is to facilitate the generation of high-pressure hydraulic oil by the hydraulic pump, thereby enabling the Ram to undergo vertical movement.

✅ Features:

– The apparatus’s output is adjustable, allowing it to adapt to different ground conditions and pile sizes.

– Provides a constant supply of high hydraulic pressure to maximize the speed and efficiency of piling operations.

Hydraulic Hose 

✅ Role:

– It functions as a conduit through which the hydraulic pressure generated by the Power Pack is transmitted to the Ram and other hydraulic apparatus.

– The device’s primary function is to ensure a consistent supply of high-pressure hydraulic oil, thereby facilitating the uninterrupted operation of the hydraulic system.

✅ Features:

– Hydraulic hoses are engineered to be resilient and capable of withstanding elevated pressures.

– Different hose materials are used depending on the working environment (high temperature, low temperature, underwater work).

– Maintaining consistent hydraulic pressure is paramount to ensure the proper operation of the hammer and the consistency of the impact force.

– Regular maintenance is important to prevent leakage (hydraulic oil leakage) and breakage.

Remote Control Box

✅ Role:

– A control system that remotely controls the operation of the Hydraulic Impact Pile Hammer.

– It regulates the power output of the Power Pack, adjusts the impact strength of the Ram, controls the hydraulic oil flow, etc.

✅ Features:

– Designed for easy control of the hammer by the operator.

– Efficient work is possible by adjusting the impact force, speed, height, etc. of the hammer with just a button operation.

– Accurate impact force control allows for more precise pile insertion.
