Hydraulic breakers

The best tool for breaking rock, concrete and quarry faces. Our breakers are designed to balance impact energy and durability, which is what keeps productivity high.

PowerTrader box type breaker on a demolition site

Three housings, same power cell.

Every model comes as box, open or side type. Pick the housing for the job; the internals and the specification stay the same.

Box type series line-up from small to large

Box type series

A closed housing wraps the power cell. It keeps dust and debris out, damps noise and protects the body on demolition and urban jobs.

18 models, PB100 to PB7000. Weights in the table below.

What is inside

Each part is the result of long experience making hydraulic hammers. Depending on where the main valve sits, we use one of two power cells.

Valve inward: the main valve sits inside the cylinder block. Applied to 11 models:

PB100PB150PB200PB300PB350PB400PB1000PB1300PB1700PB2500PB4000
01

Through bolt

Holds the front head, cylinder and back head together. Check for loosening and re-tighten to the specified torque every week. The quality and tightness of the through bolts decide how long the breaker lasts.

02

Back head

Holds the cushion chamber charged with nitrogen (N2) gas. The gas compresses on the piston's upward stroke, absorbs the recoil and stores that energy for the next blow.

03

Control valve

Controls the reciprocating action of the piston by distributing hydraulic oil.

04

Cylinder

Houses the moving piston that strikes the tool. The upper piston seals sit in a removable seal retainer; the lower seals sit in grooves machined directly into the cylinder.

05

Accumulator

Absorbs surge pressure and spikes from the excavator circuit and adds impact energy. Fitted on PB1500 and larger models.

06

Piston

Delivers maximum energy to the tool and reduces recoil from it. The impact power of a breaker is decided by the energy the piston delivers.

07

Front head

Retains the tool with the tool pins. Remove the pins to change the tool.

08

Tool

Transfers the piston's impact to the material. We recommend the tool type by working condition.

A breaker is only as good as its tool.

Our tools are alloy steel, heat treated in several stages. A cheap tool with the wrong properties wears the bushes and chips the piston, and that costs far more than the tool.

Match the excavator operating weight to the applicable carrier weight in the specification table. A 20 t excavator, for example, sits in the range of the PB1700, PB2000 and PB2500. Use the finder on the home page or type your weight above the breaker table and the matching models light up.

It is where the main valve sits. Valve inward models carry the main valve inside the cylinder block; valve outward models have it attached to the cylinder block. Outward valves are used on PB1500, PB2000, PB3600, PB4200, PB4700, PB5000 and PB7000.

Yes. POWER tools are made for 61 breaker brands, from Atlas Copco and Rammer to Soosan and Furukawa. Check your make on the tools page, then send us the model or the tool diameter.

Inspect them for loosening and re-tighten them to the specified torque every week. Through bolt quality and tightness decide how long the breaker body lasts.

For crushers, pulverizers, shears and multi grabs, the total weight does not include the mounting bracket, which adds 30 to 100 kg depending on the model. The multi processor weight includes the bracket and pins.

Yes. Specifications may change without notice as we improve quality and performance. We confirm the current figures with every quotation.
