High efficiency heavy-duty breaker Atlas Copco's HB4100 is said to provide better performance and higher efficiency than its predecessor while weighing less. With a service weight of 9,039 pounds, and designed for carriers in the 88,185- to 154,324-pound weight class, the manufacturer says it is as powerful as heavier breakers and features double-digit increases in power and efficiency. The lighter weight also allows for a smaller excavator to be used, saving both capital and operating costs. Atlas Copco | www.atlastcopco.us Productive and profitable Surestrike hammers are said to be the most productive and economical solution for oversize rock breaking. With models ranging from 10,000 foot-pounds to 75,000 foot-pounds, they can easily break materials including limestone, basalt, granite, traprock, iron ore, slag, and more. The high single-blow impact energy, coupled with low maintenance and low wear part costs, helps to ensure productivity and profitability for quarry owners and operators. Surestrike International, Inc. | www.surestrike.biz Designed for low noise FRD Furukawa's Qt line of hydraulic breakers is designed for environments that demand a reduced noise level. The breakers are encased with a onepiece enclosure to protect critical components. A higher back head pressure and larger piston diameter create a 20-percent increase in impact energy over previous models, while a patented dust intake prevention system prevents dust from entering the front head during piston upstroke to improve the life of the piston. FRD Furukawa | www.frdusa.com World's largest rockbreaker BTI offers the TRX64 stationary rock breaking system. Said to be the world's largest rockbreaker, the unit weighs more than 110,000 pounds. Booms for the TRX series range from 48 to 64 feet carrying breakers in the 8,500- to 20,000 foot-pound class, depending on reach.
