Epiroc Atlas Copco’s History

Epiroc has its roots in Atlas Copco and Krupp, the original creators of the common hydraulic hammer used around the world today, with its foundations dating back to 1873. In 2017, both divisions were split into separate businesses to hone in the focus on the different areas of the mining equipment division and infrastructure division respectively. Epiroc has its focus set on innovation in performance and increasing technological productivity to pass on to the end user, with maximum effectiveness. The company’s large size and scale mean that investment in the best engineering practices is second to none, with durability, efficiency and precision at the centre of all their products.

Applications Of The SB Hammer

Epiroc’s SB range is solid, reliable and hugely effective. It is perfect for demolishing concrete structures, asphalt pavement both indoors and outdoors, performing earthworks such as quarry duties on rock breaker boom systems, scaling in underground operations, tunnelling and cleaning ladles and converters in foundries. The SB hydraulic hammer’s slim and compact design makes it seamless to work within confined spaces such as inside buildings, along walls or in narrow trenches. The Epiroc SB range suits 0.7 to 24 tonne excavators, skid steer loaders, demolition robots, backhoes and small to medium rock breaker boom systems. This gives users tremendous flexibility and compatibility.

The SB Hydraulic Hammer’s Design

 Introduced over 25 years ago, the unique “solid body” concept utilises a patented internal component design that integrates the percussion mechanism and guide system into a single piece, eliminating the weakest components of traditional breakers. The end result is unmatched, outstanding durability, which means it’s users experience many years of reliable, safe and effective results.

Benefits of the SB range include:

• Energy Recovery
• Air & water inlet
• Floating bushing
• Pressure relief valve
• Dust wiper
• AutoStart
• Patented tool locking system
  

Small But powerful

The SB range of breakers are the most compact on the market within their respective carrier class. This allows for them to simply tuck underneath the carrier boom during transit between sites. It also means that the Epiroc SB hydraulic hammers are able to get into spots that other breakers aren’t able to, helping to stop the frustration of missing out on that inaccessible section. This means that you can do more with one attachment when compared to its rivals, increasing your productivity and enhancing your results.

Built Tough

Epiroc is recognised globally for engineering reliable and strong equipment for a wide range of tasks. The Epiroc SB hydraulic hammer range makes no exception to this, giving you more breaking power per kilogram than any other hydraulic hammer. Demolition tasks are easy work for the SB hammer, capable of both reinforced and non-reinforced concrete breaking, and built to the highest standards that you expect from Epiroc.

Access To Huge Amounts Of Information

Epiroc has a huge Australian based team which works in parallel with BA Equipment Group to ensure that our clients receive the best information and all the latest tips to make your jobs easier, more efficient and most importantly, safe.

With so many different capacities and sizes, the Epiroc SB hydraulic hammer allows for many jobs to benefit from the use of the Solid Body design and for users to improve efficiency and productivity over their competitors using inferior breakers.
