Atlas Copco Introduces Hydraulic Breaker HB 4100
January 13, 2012
Atlas Copco
presents the new Hydraulic Breaker HB 4100, which has less weight, better
performance and higher efficiency.
“Reduced
weight and better performance of a hydraulic breaker means that performance and
efficiency, the improvement in comparison to the predecessor model, is
considerable,” explains Gordon Hambach.

Hambach says “The follow-up costs of an investment in a hydraulic breaker are
many times greater than the pure acquisition costs. The reduction of these
total cost of ownership involves the conserving of resources, such as energy
and work time, as well as durability and simple maintenance concepts.”
Against
this background, the guide system of the hydraulic breaker was also changed in
order to make it even more stable and resilient. “Hydraulic breakers are
ultimately subjected to use under the most extreme conditions,” Hambach adds. “A
new covering for the retaining bar offers more protection, especially in the
lower part of the hydraulic breaker which has to take a lot of wear and tear.
We have also reinforced the service window and the recesses for the lateral
swivel threaded connections. There is also circumferential wear protection,
which has proven its worth with all heavy hydraulic breakers from Atlas Copco.”
With a
service weight of 4,100 kg, the HB 4100 is suitable for carrier machines from
40-70 t.
All proven
features of the heavy hydraulic breaker series from Atlas Copco are also found
in the new HB 4100: the VibroSilenced system to protect operators against noise
and vibrations; PowerAdapt, which switches off the breaker in the event of a
hydraulic overload; AutoControl, for the adjustment of the blow frequency and
blow energy to the hardness of the stone; and ContiLube II, the integrated,
automatic lubrication apparatus. With StartSelect, the operator can influence
the start-up and shutdown behavior of the hydraulic breaker. And with the
optional DustProtector, the hydraulic breaker is protected against the
penetration of dust and rock particles into the lower part of the breaker.
