Sandvik launches new Basic Breaker

Sandvik Mining and Construction unveiled the BA2424 – the first representatives of the new Basic Breaker product line specifically developed for the requirements of the Indian market.  Simple in design, Sandvik’s new Basic Line utilises fewer working parts for reduced maintenance, together with lower ownership and operating costs.
 
The Basic Line Breakers includes many innovative design elements; they possess a sealed nitrogen piston type accumulator in order to protect the carrier’s hydraulic pump during operation from pressure peaks in the breakers hydraulic circuit. The design also incorporates a long and heavy piston that is aligned with a genuine Sandvik tool, there-by ensuring optimum impact energy transfer, with less recoil, in order to minimize carrier wear. The basic breaker weighs 1,617 kg and can deliver up to 525 blows per minute.
 
Available in 3 different housings – Box type, Side plate and Pin on type – the Basic Line Breakers are easy to mount and operate. Silenced box type housings offer increased noise reduction, making them specifically suitable for urban applications.  Where noise is not an issue then side plate housings with both top and side mounts can be used. Although simple, the Basic Line benefits from proven technology, the use of genuine Sandvik parts produced from only the highest quality raw materials, all manufactured to Sandvik quality control standards. Key features of BA2424 include: simple designs that use fewer working parts for reduced maintenance, lower ownership and operating costs.
 
According to Dr Thomas Schulz, President Construction at Sandvik, “The Indian market has tremendous potential and we are fully geared up to meet the market’s demands”. Sandvik considers India to be one of its top 10 markets globally.
