The combination of extremely long “time between rebuilds” and the affordability and availability of replacement parts translates into a low cost of ownership that continues to win the approval of customers—especially those who have experience with other units. There are three Impactor models: **65H**, **100H** and **200H**. They are designed to replace sledgehammers in removing risers made with break-off style cores. All operate best at 80~150psi and are equipped with our patented cushion cylinder for excellent protection against dry-firing. Impactors are operator-friendly (ergonomic grips, shock cushioning), and are built to withstand the rigors of continuous foundry use. Manually operated Impactors are typically suspended by a chain-fall hoist, supported by a jib crane, bridge crane or similar device. **Product Summary: Manually Operated Impactor** | ***Model*** | ***Sledgehammer*** ***Equivalent** **@ 100psi*** | ***Suggested Applications*** | | --- | --- | --- | | 200H | 12~16 lbs. | Steel, White, Gray and Ductile Iron; large risers | | 100H | 8~12 lbs. | Gray and Ductile Iron; medium risers | | 65H | up to 8 lbs. | Gray and Ductile Iron; smaller risers/gating |   **[![Download Action Impactor Material](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2643763/2acb483c-b373-4f0f-a3dd-7b08ed797cc9.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2643763/2acb483c-b373-4f0f-a3dd-7b08ed797cc9)** **Available Options** - Air Quality System (highly recommended): Protects your investment and helps to assure peak performance. - Handlebar-mounted Hoist Control: Allows the operator to control a customer-supplied hoist (electric or pneumatic) without removing his hand from the grip. - Pneumatic Intensifiers are also available for boosting supply pressure up to 2X, providing up to 150psi to the Impactor for increased power. **The Impactor** is also available in the form of a manipulator-mounted attachment, either alone or in combination with other tools. Our patented **Combination Grapple/Impactor** attachment is the most productive riser removal and casting handling package available.   [![CONTACT US](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2643763/0dd42161-f18d-4695-896a-9d7cd8384bff.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2643763/0dd42161-f18d-4695-896a-9d7cd8384bff) [←Previous Post](https://blog.vulcangroup.com/vulcanturns50) [Newer Post →](https://blog.vulcangroup.com/sand_cooling101) #### Call Us: 1 (205) 663-0732 **Located outside of the US?
