Higher-performance Hydraulic Breaker
Atlas Copco says the newest addition to
its heavy hydraulic breaker line, the HB
4100, provides better performance and
higher efficiency than the preceding
model and weighs less. According to the
supplier, the HB 4100 has a service
weight of 9,039 lb (4,100 kg) making it
suitable for carriers in the 88,185- to
154,324-lb [40,000- to 70,000-kg]
weight class, but is as powerful as other,
much heavier breakers. The new breaker
features a guide system that makes the
breaker more stable and resilient, with a
new cover plate for the retaining bars
that offers more protection in the lower
part of the breaker. Along with increased
wear protection at the bottom of the
case, other standard features include the
VibroSilenced system that protects oper-ators against noise and vibrations;
PowerAdapt, which switches the breaker
off in the event of a hydraulic overflow;
AutoControl, to adjust the blow frequen-cy and blow energy to match the hard-ness of the material; the ContiLube II
integrated, automatic lubrication system;
and StartSelect, which allows the opera-tor to influence the startup and shutdown
behavior of the hydraulic breaker. An
optional DustProtector protects the lower
part of the hydraulic breaker from dust
and rock particles.
