What are Rippers
z
Working Of Ripper

The working member of the ripper i
s a 
tooth with a replaceable tip and a w
ear-
resistant protective covering. Mode
rn 
rippers usually have a hydraulic dri
ve to 
raise and lower the teeth, change th
e 
ripping angle of the tip of the tooth,
 
control the mechanism that position
s the arms, and change the spacing 
of the teeth.
Some rippers have shock absorbers

Types Of Rippers
Hinge-Style Ripper
The hinge-style ripper, also
known as the radial-type ripper is
fixed to the bulldozer with a pin,
around which the ripper arm
rotates. Because of its
maneuverability, this type of
ripper is best at creating sculpted
and natural-appearing rock cuts.
Parallelogram-Style
Ripper
The parallelogram-style ripper features
two hinged arms, which keep the shank
(the tang of the tooth) vertical and hold
the tooth at a constant angle as it is
lowered into the material. This provides
excellent penetration in many types of
rock. The parallelogram-style ripper
works best in easy to moderately
rippable materials.

foundation, pits, canals,
trenches etc.
 Used for removing deposits
of clay and gravel.
 Used in cutting of hills for
construction of roads.
 Used in removing the effect
of compaction.

Advantages Of Ripper

 Noise level are minimum

 Higher safety than Drilling or Blasting
 Better performance due to small
percentage of fines
 More precision for separation of rock
layers
 Ripping cost are generally 50% to 65%
less than Blasting

Factors Affecting Selection Of Rippers

 Downward pressure
on tip
 Horsepower of
Bulldozer
 Weight of Bulldozer
 Angle of tooth
Penetration
