SB Solid Body Hydraulic Hammer – a powerful concept
What makes the Epiroc/Atlas Copco SB breakers so unique is the Solid Body concept, which integrates the percussion mechanism and guide system into one single block of steel. This unique design makes these breakers extremely compact and easy to handle and it also yields a weight reduction of 20% compared to other breakers. BA Equipment Group has been Australia’s supplier of the Epiroc/Atlas Copco SB breakers since 2013.
Due to their compact size and weight SB breaker hammers have a large variety of use cases from rock breaking, concrete breaking, construction, demolition and more. Because they are so compact they can fit the boom of smaller excavators to become the best option for concrete breakers in small or confined spaces. And the list of features makes them a fully featured versatile breaker hammer.
The SB range of hydraulic hammers optimise productivity through:
Automatic stroke-length switching AutoControl
optimises the output performance
reduces strain of idle blows
EnergyRecovery system
provides additional impact performance without increasing the hydraulic input
reduces vibration exposure to carrier and operator
Easy to Set Up
Installing an Epiroc/Atlas Copco SB breaker hammer is easy. The new SB breakers work with a wide oil flow range and can therefore be installed on a broad variety of carriers. In case of a hydraulic overload, the breakers are protected by an integrated protection valve which prevents damage to and downtime on the breakers.
Installing another chisel for a different application is a matter of minutes using ordinary hand tools available on the job site. Epiroc/Atlas Copco Solid Body breakers are always ready for action and require very little maintenance.
Easy to Service
SB breakers have been designed to be the most reliable on the market, and even when they do need attention, they are easy to service.
For example, the double tool retainer bars minimise stress and wear on the working tools. It’s easy to change the working tool thanks to the patented retainer bar lock system and replacing the floating working tool bushing can be done by the operator on-site with standard hand tools.
The length of the bushing also provides excellent guidance for the working tool, which means less wear. An oil drainage port has been added through which the oil of the breaker can bleed easily if needed.
