FRD produces Fx Series scaling breakers for tunnel construction

Furukawa Rock Drill (FRD) has developed the Fx Series of small hydraulic breakers with a scaling version for tunnel use. Using a mono-block cylinder with replaceable wear parts, the Fx Series breakers are said to provide increased power with reduced operating noise. There are four Fx models available with weights of 112-300kg, they are intended for excavators with operating weights of 1.5-7 tonnes.

    February 5, 2013
    Atlas is now offering its own range of hydraulic breakers. These units are offered with operating weights from 135kg--5.7tonnes and can be used on machines right across the firm’s own excavator range. The firm says that its breakers are designed to absorb impact, reducing wear and tear on the carrier and absorbing vibration, lengthening hose life. A system regulates the number of blows to keep working frequency constant under all conditions. A lubrication system extends component life while all the units ca

    January 6, 2017
    Engcon has introduced a new range of tilt-rotators, using a cast housing to greatly increase capacity. The EC218 and EC226 replace the EC15 and EC20 respectively. The former is suitable for machines up to 18tonnes in operating weight, while the latter is designed for excavators up to 26 tonnes. The cast housing incorporates internal lubrication channels for centralised greasing, reducing the risk of dust ingress or damage while operating. Larger bushes are used to reduce the chance of play in the housing
