Redesigned Atlas Copco Cobras PROe and TTe pack more punch

Atlas Copco has redesigned its range of Cobra PROe and TTe petrol breakers to deliver more power and less vibration. According to Atlas Copco, the percussion mechanism delivers engine power with minimum losses to the tool tip, resulting in impact energy of 60Joules for the PRO version and 40Joules for the TT version. The PROe is ideal for breaking, asphalt cutting and post driving. With 60Joules at the tool tip it can break silica rich rocks and reinforced concrete, according to Atlas Copco. The Cobra TTe i

Fewer vibrations from Cobra PROe and TTe petrol breakers
Atlas Copco has redesigned its range of Cobra PROe and TTe petrol breakers to deliver more power and less vibration.

According to 161 Atlas Copco, the percussion mechanism delivers engine power with minimum losses to the tool tip, resulting in impact energy of 60Joules for the PRO version and 40Joules for the TT version.

The PROe is ideal for breaking, asphalt cutting and post driving. With 60Joules at the tool tip it can break silica rich rocks and reinforced concrete, according to Atlas Copco.

The Cobra TTe is the most optimal punch for tie tamping. The unit’s 40Joules at the tool tip delivers high enough energy to push the ballast back under the ties and low enough to prevent the pulverisation of ballast.

Both versions are available with 25 x 108mm shanks, making them shorter and lighter which also diminishes vibrations. To dampen the tools further, both have improved hand-arm protection systems.They also run on alkylate petrol to reduce an operator’s exposure to harmful exhausts and also lower the environmental footprint.

    Atlas Copco is now introducing its Dynapac Remixer, which is designed to deliver a high quality, homogeneous asphalt mix The unit has been designed to fit inside the hopper of a paver and can help boost mat quality. Research shows that thermal and mechanical segregation of the asphalt mix can trigger problems in the mat including unevenness and irregular surfaces, a larger void content and reduced compaction. These issues can cause long-term problems and will shorten the service life of the paved surf

    A contractor in Texas has used equipment from Brokk to help out with a tricky highway project. Upgrading work has been carried out on a 6.4km-long stretch of I-35 in San Antonio between Loop 410 NE and Loop 410 S. This stretch of the route was carrying around 185,000 vehicles/day and was suffering increasing levels of congestion at peak periods. Travel times lengthened by 65% during rush hour, while ramps on opposite sides of the interstate caused additional congestion and safety issues. In one section, t
