HammerHead Introduces XRP High-Performance
Pneumatic Hammers

HammerHead Trenchless released its new XPR series of
pneumatic hammers for pipe ramming and pipe bursting
applications. XPR features a newly designed high-flow valve
system that enhances its impact. The first model to utilize this
new technology, the 26XPR is the most powerful pneumatic
hammer in its class.
XPR technology is a modification of the patented Air
Reverse (AR) valve system that is standard on all HammerHead
pneumatic hammers larger than seven inches. Both systems
allow for the reverse function to be controlled above ground,
greatly simplifying tool removal from pushing collets and
burst heads, saving valuable time on the job. The 26XPR has
replaced the 24-inch AR model in the HammerHead line of
pneumatic hammers.
"While our 24-inch hammer has proven to be durable and
effective, we identified a need for a more versatile and higher performing tool," said product manager, Josh Hood. "By designing a system that
maximizes the air flow, we were able to increase forward horsepower, while maintaining the highly desired functionality of the Air Reverse feature.
We chose the 26XPR to be the first model to utilize the new technology to better bridge the gap between our 20- and 34-inch AR models."
The 26XPR is capable of installing casing 24 to 84 inches in diameter and is suitable for use in drainage culverts, pipeline work and HDD assist
methods, such as wash over casing installations, pipe assist or pipe extraction, and guided pilot bore ramming. It is also effective in pneumatic pipe
bursting applications of pipes ranging from 15 to 36 inches in diameter.
Other sizes of hammer will be equipped with XRP technology in the future.
The hallmark of all HammerHead pneumatic hammers, including the new 26XPR, is easy serviceability to minimize costly downtime due to
tool maintenance. It features HammerHead's patented clamped rear anvil and tail bolt designs; one-piece body and striker; and high-temperature,
replaceable wear rings.
HammerHead Trenchless, a Charles Machine Works Company, of Lake Mills, Wis., manufactures and delivers a unique combination of rehabilitation, replacement and installation equipment and consumables, field support and project consultation for the underground construction market.
