Mining Tools for Light and Medium-Duty Mining Operations

Mining operations require tools that deliver controlled power, precision, and durability in demanding environments. Madido focuses on light and medium-duty mining tools used in drilling, rock breaking, scaling, and on-site maintenance—applications where hand-held pneumatic tools and drilling components play a critical role.

Our expertise centers on jackhammer tools, rock drilling tools, rock drilling bits, rivet busters, and demolition accessories, supporting mining teams working in surface, underground, quarry, and specialty mining environments.

Mining Applications Where Madido Tools Are Used

Not all mining relies on large extraction machinery. Many critical operations depend on portable impact and drilling tools to prepare rock, support blasting, maintain infrastructure, and improve site safety.

Madido tools are commonly used in:

  • Rock preparation prior to blasting
  • Secondary rock breaking after blasting
  • Drill hole creation for anchors and explosives
  • Scaling and loose rock removal
  • Concrete and reinforced structure demolition
  • Equipment and facility maintenance

  • Surface and Quarry Mining

    In surface and quarry mining, hand-held tools complement heavy equipment by addressing precision tasks that machinery cannot handle efficiently.

    Workers rely on jackhammers and drilling tools to manage oversize material, refine rock faces, and prepare drilling patterns. These tools are especially important during production delays, maintenance windows, or site adjustments where flexibility is essential.

    Typical surface mining tasks

    • Secondary fragmentation of blasted rock
    • Trimming and shaping rock faces
    • Utility trenching and access preparation
    • Concrete and foundation demolition

  • Underground and Tunnel Mining

    Underground mining environments place higher demands on tool reliability, safety, and ergonomics. Space constraints and ventilation considerations often make compact pneumatic tools the preferred solution.

    Jackhammer tools, rock drilling bits, and rivet busters are frequently used for drilling, scaling, and maintenance work where controlled impact energy is required.

    Key challenges addressed

    • Limited working space
    • Hard, abrasive rock formations
    • Continuous tool usage
    • Operator fatigue and vibration exposure

  • Specialty and Small-Scale Mining Operations

    Exploration drilling, quarry testing, and specialized extraction projects depend heavily on portable rock drilling tools. These operations value tools that are easy to transport, simple to maintain, and compatible with standard pneumatic systems.

    Madido tools are well suited for these environments due to their durability and versatility across multiple applications

  • Jackhammer Tools for Mining Applications

    Madido’s jackhammer tools are designed to deliver consistent impact force while maintaining operator control. These tools are commonly used for rock breaking, concrete demolition, and scaling tasks across mining environments.

    They are compatible with a wide range of tool steels and accessories, allowing crews to adapt quickly to different materials and job requirements.

    Common jackhammer applications

    • Rock and concrete breaking
    • Trenching and access creation
    • Scaling loose rock
    • Site preparation and maintenance

Rock Drilling Tools and Rock Drilling Bits

Rock drilling is a foundational activity in mining operations. Madido supplies rock drilling tools and rock drilling bits engineered for penetration efficiency and wear resistance.

These tools are used to create precise holes for blasting, anchoring, and structural support.

Rock Drilling Bit Comparison

Bit Type Best Suited For Key Characteristics Typical Mining Use
Cross Bits Medium to hard rock Stable drilling, good hole accuracy Blast hole drilling
Chisel Bits Soft to medium rock Fast penetration Quarry and surface mining
Button Bits Hard and abrasive rock Long service life Underground and hard rock mining

Rivet busters provide higher impact energy than standard jackhammers, making them ideal for heavy demolition and maintenance tasks in mining operations.

They are commonly used in processing facilities, underground structures, and surface infrastructure where reinforced materials must be broken efficiently.

Typical rivet buster uses

  • Breaking reinforced concrete
  • Removing steel fixtures and supports
  • Heavy-duty demolition work
  • Maintenance of mining facilities

Pneumatic Demolition and Chipping Tools

Madido also offers a range of pneumatic demolition tools that support lighter demolition, scaling, and finishing work. These tools are frequently used in preparation and clean-up phases of mining operations.

They complement jackhammers and rivet busters by offering greater precision and reduced impact energy for controlled applications.
