The EC 60 hydraulic breaker hammer is part of the Atlas Copco EC series, which is a lineup of top-quality hydraulic breakers built to withstand demanding applications.
The "EC" in the name stands for "Epiroc," a leading global supplier of mining and construction equipment, which merged with Atlas Copco's mining and rock excavation division.
One of the key features of the EC 60 is its exceptional power-to-weight ratio, making it suitable for use on a wide range of carriers, such as excavators and backhoe loaders. This feature allows operators to achieve higher productivity and reduce operating costs without compromising on performance.
The hydraulic breaker hammer operates by utilizing the hydraulic power from the carrier to pressurize oil and store it in the hydraulic accumulator. When the operator triggers the hammer, the pressurized oil is released into the piston chamber, driving the piston downward with tremendous force. This force is then transferred to the chisel, which strikes the material, creating the breaking effect.
The EC 60 is designed with robust components, including a high-strength housing and a durable chisel, ensuring long-lasting performance even in the most demanding conditions.
Additionally, the hammer features an innovative "PowerAdapt" system, which automatically adjusts the impact energy and striking rate based on the hardness of the material being worked on. This not only improves efficiency but also reduces wear and tear on both the hammer and carrier.
To protect the hammer from damage during operation, the EC 60 comes equipped with an integrated "AutoControl" system. This feature stops the hammer from striking when it is not in contact with the material, preventing unnecessary stress and wear. Furthermore, the "StartSelect" function allows the operator to adjust the hammer's startup behavior, making it easier to customize the tool's performance to suit specific applications.
Maintenance is made simple with the EC 60, thanks to its user-friendly design. The hammer's components are easily accessible, enabling quick and hassle-free servicing. Regular maintenance, such as lubrication and inspection, is crucial to keep the hammer in optimal condition and extend its lifespan.
