Hydro Bags
Hydro Bags have a thickness of just 2mm and can easily be slipped into the diamond wire saw cut.
They consist of two sheets of high tensile steel welded together using the latest laser techniques.
Water is hydraulically pumped in at a pressure of 30-40 bar expanding them up to 25-30 cm resulting in a thrust force of up to 1000 tons.
By coupling two or more cushions side by side or combined in packs it is possible to obtain greater displacement.
It must be pointed out that our Hydro Bags only use running water as an expansion fluid and not oil as with other hydraulic systems. It is for this reason that Hydro Bags are classified as environmentally friendly.
These are used to separate a large bench or block of granite after the diamond wire cutting has been completed. This is a very specialized piece of equipment, and the actual bag is considered a consumable and available in configurations of 0.5m x 0.5m, 1 x 1m and 1,5 x 1,5m square bags.
NB! HYDRO BAGS DON’T REQUIRE ANY MAINTENANCE FOR THE SIMPLE REASON THAT THEY ARE ONLY USED ONCE.
