ImpulsTec GmbH products

The shock wave or electrohydraulic fragmentation process is currently only used to a limited extent in Germany. It can be classified in the field of pulsed power technology, which represents a largely new technology in Germany. Previous applications at research institutes were mostly limited to the homogeneous fragmentation of old concrete. Commercial applications exist in the form of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (“lithotripsy”), sheet metal forming or sanding of sand castings in the casting industry. The material-selective electrohydraulic fragmentation process (EHF) from ImpulsTec GmbH offers a convincing solution for the material separation of complex material composites. The method uses mechanical shock waves, which are generated in a fluid medium, in order to bring about an energy coupling and thus a separation of the composites.
