How it works

NXbursT™ break rock and concrete with greater control due to minimal fly rock, low vibration, reduced noise and requires only localized clearance of equipment and personal.

How does it work?

The NXbursT™ technology is based on a non-detonating chemical compound enclosed in a cartridge, which reacts very quickly when ignited to produce high volumes of harmless gas, mainly consisting of nitrogen, carbon dioxide and steam.

When the cartridge is sealed in a drill hole, the gas generated by the ignition of the propellant enters into the micro-fractures created from the percussive drilling process and into the natural fractures and planes of weakness of the rock to produce a shearing of the rock or concrete often called splitting.
