This innovative non-explosive technology features a rock breaking method that utilizes propellant cartridges in a water filled drill hole. With this tool it is easy to break oversized boulders without having to evacuate the immediate area. This hard-rock excavation tool is appropriate for boulder breaking, concrete demolition and secondary breaking in civil engineering projects, quarries, and mines. For utility installation work, using patented hydro-fracturing technology, this rock-breaking tool has enabled more efficient rock removal in trench excavations. The next generation Magnum Buster has replaced the original Boulder Buster with an advanced user-friendly rock splitting design that delivers significantly increased productivity and lower cartridge consumption. Rock fragmentation is now safe and practical in congested urban settings and at crowded construction sites.

McCarthy Industries Limited is a leading practitioner in the art and science of mechanized NON-EXPLOSIVE rock fragmentation systems and has been at the leading edge of developing the technology platforms required to move successfully from technical vision to commercial viability and operational reality.

Rock excavation systems and rock fragmentation technologies have been dominated by the drill and blast method for more than a century. Our new propellant based non-explosive technology employs a small propellant charge that fractures rock in an efficient tensile-hydro-fracturing breakage mechanism - a true advancement in state-of-the-art rock fragmentation technologies.

Non-explosive rock fragmentation offers great advantages to the mining and construction industries of the present and will become the essential technological building block of fully automated rock excavation systems of the future.
