Paratech"s Pakhammer is designed for forcible entry during fire fighting and rescue operations. They are used for cutting metal and composites, breaking masonry walls, penetrating concrete floors, forcible entry and digging during tunneling operations. Paratech"s Pakhammer consumes air only on the power stroke. This unique, patented design provides a pneumatic impact and penetrating device with an adjustable power output and very low air consumption.
The combined features of light weight, very low air consumption and a wide range of power settings make Paratech"s Pakhammer extremely effective for rescue and fire fighting operations. Rescue workers may find themselves temporarily blocked by a masonry wall or faced with the need to penetrate a concrete floor. Building collapse often requires power assisted digging for access to victims.
Conventional pneumatic, hydraulic or electric power tools always require a hook-up to a bulky remote power source. Only Paratech"s Pakhammer is designed for situations where the power source must be as portable as the tool. Designed to operate intermittently for up to 15 minutes on a single SCBA cylinder, there is
nothing to stop a Paratech Pakhammer from being where the action is. The Pakhammer is designed to operate from any compressed air source at a pressure range of 40 to 200 psi / 2.7 to 13.7 bar.
