How O2 Rock Splitter Works

Five steps, from air to broken rock.

Follow the process hole by hole — from liquefying oxygen to controlled fragmentation with no fly-rock.

O₂ ROCK SPLITTERSTEP 1 / 5
Air separated and cooled into liquid oxygen −183°C 1
The paper tube is lowered into the borehole 2
Liquid oxygen is pumped into the tube inside the hole LOX 3
An electric trigger ignites the charge and it flashes to gas ≈ 800× EXPANSION 4
Rock fractures from within, tube in the hole, no fly-rock 5
01/ 05
01Turning air into LOX.
Air is separated and cooled to −183°C until the oxygen liquefies into LOX — the active breaking medium, ready to be charged into the hole.
PHASE Air → liquid oxygen • TEMP −183°C
02Place the paper tube in the hole.
An empty paper tube is lowered into the borehole, then connected to the filling hose through the anti-static distribution line.
HOLE 90–115 mm • DEPTH 6 m+ optimal
03Filling LOX inside the hole.
LOX flows through the filling hose into the paper tube already inside the hole — absorbed by the combustion medium until saturated. The waterproof liner allows filling even in water-filled holes.
FLOW Filling hose → tube • MEDIUM Waterproof
04Ignite & vaporize.
An electric trigger (Launcher) drives LOX expansion from liquid to gas — up to about 800× its original volume inside the sealed hole.
EXPANSION ≈ 800× • TRIGGER Electric
05Rock breaks from within.
The expansion pressure breaks rock from the inside, following natural weak planes — controlled fragmentation with no fly-rock.
RESULT Controlled fragmentation • FLY-ROCK Zero

How It Works

What Happens Inside the Borehole?

O₂ Rock Splitter works by harnessing expansion energy inside the borehole. Once the paper tube is placed and the system is triggered, pressure acts from within the rock and helps form fractures along its natural planes of weakness.

This lets rock breaking be carried out with better control over the direction of the break, vibration, and impact on the surrounding area.

Field Factors

Factors That Influence Field Results

Results from applying O₂ Rock Splitter can vary from one site to another. Some of the factors to consider include:

Rock type
Hardness level
Natural fracture structure
Borehole diameter & depth
Drilling pattern
Water conditions
Site access
Work volume
Fragmentation target

That is why a technical evaluation or site survey is needed before determining the most suitable application method and cost estimate.
