Cut Rock Without Blasting
or Hydraulic Hammers
Chain cutter attachments that trench, excavate, and remove rock up to 5x faster — with precision, no permits, and zero flying debris. Built for contractors who can't afford delays.
KEMROC Chain Cutter vs. Hydraulic Breaker
Same rock. Same conditions. One clear winner. Watch the side-by-side comparison.
Are You Losing Time & Money to Outdated Rock Removal?
Traditional methods are holding your projects back and eating into your margins. If any of these sound familiar, you need a better tool.
- ✕Blasting permits taking weeks — and you still can't blast near utilities, structures, or populated areas
- ✕Hydraulic hammers that vibrate everything loose, crack adjacent concrete, and break down constantly
- ✕Ragged, over-excavated trenches driving up backfill costs and creating rework headaches
- ✕Flying debris, noise complaints, and safety liabilities that slow down your crew and schedule
- ✕Blasted rock that can't be reused — crushed, hauled off, replaced with expensive imported fill

Contractors Are Seeing the Difference
From Kentucky distilleries to utility trenching jobs across the country — here's what happens when contractors ditch the hammer and pick up a chain cutter.
"We saved over 200% in costs compared to traditional blasting and hydraulic breaking methods. The precision and speed of the Kemroc attachment was beyond what we expected."
"The cutters turned out to be a solution for multiple issues. Not only did they extract the stone in a fraction of the time, but the extracted stone was perfect size for backfill — no further processing."
"The Kemroc EKT-220 drum cutter has produced precision cuts with high quality material that is usable, and a major time savings compared to blasting."
Bourbon Distillery — Shelbyville, KY
T&C Contracting removed 60,000 cubic yards of solid rock from a hillside using KEMROC chain and drum cutters. Zero blasting. Zero crusher. 100% of material reused on-site for roads and drainage backfill.
