Diesel Hammers

Modern-day diesel hammers are a must-have in the foundation industry. Diesel pile hammers are used to drive piles into a supporting soil layer. The mode of operation is similar to that of a hammer used to drive a nail. The piston activates the pump lever during its fall. The diesel fuel is in that manner sprayed onto the surface of the impact block. The air in the cylinder is compressed as soon as the piston runs past the exhaust openings. The modern hammers come with an increased compression pressure that drives the piston and the impact head below it on the material to be driven. Modern diesel pile hammers are equipped with adjustable fuel pumps for regulating the stroke of the piston and therefore the impact energy. This is a particular advantage when soil formations change. Optionally a hydraulically actuated fuel pump with infinite settings is available.
