Efficient breaking with Epiroc hammers

Epiroc says that its latest premium SB series hydraulic breakers are the only hammers on the market equipped as standard with an integrated channel for water spraying. This integrated water channel means that operators can spray water at the source of dust generation to keep dust levels down. The system improves the working environment, boosts visibility and prevents dust from seeping into the bushings. The SB breakers also reduce noise and vibration.

8737 Epiroc says that its latest premium SB series hydraulic breakers are the only hammers on the market equipped as standard with an integrated channel for water spraying.


This integrated water channel means that operators can spray water at the source of dust generation to keep dust levels down. The system improves the working environment, boosts visibility and prevents dust from seeping into the bushings. The SB breakers also reduce noise and vibration.

Designed for carriers weighing from 0.7-24tonnes, the SB series breakers are suitable for a wide range of applications. The SB series breakers are said to combine efficiency and performance with high durability in a compact design. The range includes models with service weights from 55kg for the SB 52, the smallest breaker of the SB series, to 1,060kg for the SB 1102.

The units benefit from the Epiroc EnergyRecovery technology, which absorbs recoil energy, increasing overall performance. The firm says that this allows a higher impact rate from the same hydraulic input with less vibration. The SB SolidBody concept uses a patented internal design integrating impact mechanism and guide system into a single piece. This eliminates the weakest components of traditional breakers: damping and guiding elements, tie rods, parting lines and stud bolts.
