In March 2026, a quarry operator from Rizal Province, Luzon Island, the Philippines, contacted YG Machinery for a more efficient solution for hard rock excavation. The customer needed to control rock fracture direction, reduce reliance on blasting, and complete quarry operations within a limited working time.
Using a separate rock drilling machine and hydraulic rock splitter required additional handling, coordination, and labor. To simplify the process, YG Machinery recommended a YG1000 Drilling and Splitting All-in-one Machine matched to the customer’s 30-ton excavator, together with a diesel air compressor for outdoor quarry operations.
After receiving the equipment, the customer reported positive feedback on its directional rock splitting, operating convenience, and working efficiency.
Customer Requirements: Controlled Rock Breaking with Less Handling
The customer wanted a machine that could:
- Control rock fracture direction for more predictable quarry excavation.
- Reduce reliance on blasting where site conditions and project requirements made mechanical splitting suitable.
- Combine drilling and splitting to simplify equipment coordination.
- Adjust to different working angles, including vertical drilling and other suitable positions.
Solution: YG1000 Drilling and Splitting All-in-one Machine with a Diesel Air Compressor
After evaluating the customer’s requirements, YG Machinery product manager Nina recommended the YG1000 Drilling and Splitting All-in-one Machine, configured for the customer’s 30-ton excavator and supplied with a diesel air compressor.
The configuration was selected for outdoor quarry work, where mobility and a suitable air supply were important.
Key Features for Quarry Operations
1. Integrated drilling and hydraulic splitting
The YG1000 combines drilling and splitting functions in one machine. Compared with coordinating separate machines, this integrated design reduces equipment changes and simplifies the drilling-to-splitting workflow.
2. Multi-angle drilling and splitting
The operator can adjust the working angle to suit the rock face and excavation requirements. This flexibility helps guide rock fracture development according to the drilling pattern and site conditions.
3. Two-stage hydraulic splitting system
The two-stage splitting cylinder system is designed to increase hydraulic splitting force, helping the machine tackle demanding hard rock applications. Actual results depend on rock properties, drilling parameters, and operating conditions.
4. Diesel air compressor for outdoor use
The additional diesel air compressor provides an air supply for suitable outdoor operating conditions, supporting deployment in quarry areas without a convenient fixed air supply.
5. Wireless remote control
Wireless remote operation makes it more convenient to control the machine during work, while helping the operator maintain an appropriate working distance in accordance with site safety procedures.
Customer Feedback: Better Control and Easier Operation
After receiving the equipment, the customer reported positive feedback on its performance and operating convenience.
The main benefits highlighted were:
- Better control of rock fracture direction through adjustable working angles.
- More convenient operation when working vertically or at other suitable angles.
- Less equipment handling and labor coordination thanks to the integrated drilling and splitting design.
- Convenient wireless control during quarry operations.
For this project, the key benefit was a more integrated approach to controlled rock excavation without relying on separate drilling and splitting machines.
No specific production increase or time-saving percentage is claimed because verified on-site measurements were not provided.
