New hydraulic breakers
Breakers still have an unchanged value in construction, mining and demolition. There is a trend whereby suppliers tend to concentrate on breakers that fit the growing rental industry with lighter models and easy to maintain. Sandvik Rammer is a good example.
Sandvik Rammer
The Rammer Company is now known as Sandvik but the tools are still marketed under the Rammer brand. For Sandvik Bauma will mark the official worldwide launch pad for a new range of Sandvik Rammer hydraulic hammers designed specifically for use with backhoe loaders. Known as the BL range, the new hammers utilise proven Sandvik Rammer technology together with a number of new innovations to make the four new hammers ideally suited to rental, trenching and other backhoe loader duties. Sandvik Rammer is also introducing a number of new features to enhance its proven RAMONA remote monitoring system. Originally launched in 2003, the RAMONA system is designed to help minimise unscheduled downtime, prolong hammer life and maximise hammer productivity.
Atlas Copco
Last year Atlas Copco launched their SB series and in addition to the recently launched models, the smallest breaker in the range the SB 52 will replace the SB 50. It has an exceptional power-to-weight ratio compared with its predecessor and fits a far greater range of carriers. The old SB 50 (SBC 60) was a very light, specialist breaker, suitable only for a small number of carriers in the 0.35 to 0.7 t class. The SB 52 features a completely new design. It is much stronger and more powerful, and is suitable for use with all micro carriers from 0.7 to 1.2 t. ¡±The benefits we are most proud of are the very compact design and the unique power-to-weight ratio of the SB 52 breaker,¡± says Chief Designer of light hydraulic breakers Jan Erenius. Atlas Copco also is launching their heaviest SB breaker, SB552 weighing 550 kg. Atlas Copco is confident that the new SB 552 breaker will meet the customers¡¯ expectations, offering the same benefits as the other SB breakers, such as high hitting power, all-round robustness, and unique design.
Montabert
Montabert is widening their Silver-Clip series with two new models, SC-6 and SC-50. SC-6 is weighing 65 kg but is shorter then a metre and therefore easy to work with. The models is developed for carriers between 0.7 to 1.2 t and has an oil flow between 12 to 23 l/min. SC-6 is available as standard and as silenced version. SC-50 completes the heavier models of Silver Clip and is suitable for carrier s between 7 and 14 t and has an oil flow of 75 to 125 l/min.
Tabe
Before the end of 2006 TABE started marketing four new hammers, the AGB10, AGB 95, AGB 15 and AGB 575. From the light weight range, the new 100 kg AGB-95 model is recommended for carrier machines of between 1.5 and 3.5 t and is able to produce between 1,000 and 1,4000 strikes per minute. It has the traditional pure hydraulic technology with diaphragm accumulator and without tie bolts that characterise this type of TABE hammer. In the medium weight range, TABE has two models. The AGB-10, which weighs 921 kg, including bracket and is recommended for machines of between 10 and 16 t. This is the first model from the new GP family, which incorporates new hydraulic technology based on pure gas and allows for an impact energy that is 20% greater than with current technology. TABE is also launching the new AGB-575, which weighs 600 kg, has the new pure hydraulic technology and is aimed at excavators of between 8 and 15 t. In the heavy weight range for carrier machines of between 21 and 28 t is the new AGB-15, which weighs 1,470 kg, uses hydraulic and gas technology and improves the hammer¡¯s impact energy by reaching between 450 and 700 strikes per minute. TABE is also launching the new 4,000 kg AGB 40.
Caterpillar
Caterpillar is introducing the H35Ds hydraulic hammer as an extension of the line of D-series hammers and an ideal match for Caterpillar 301 machines and other makes of similar sized excavators. The H35Ds hammer has been designed with focus on reliability and ease of serviceability. The lower busning and upper bushing and thrust ring have all been incorporated in a 3 in 1 service part, which allows easy access and visibility of the entire tool guidance system for quick inspection in the field. All core wear components can be changed in a matter of minutes without the need for special tooling. The single piece design power-cell eliminates the need for tie-rods and is more resistant to bending compared to the three-piece body section design. The hammer has a 6-piece isolation system to isolate the power cell and hammer housing against mechanical vibrations being transmitted to the carrier.
