Atlas Copco Construction Tools Introduces MB 1500 To Complete Medium-Duty Hydraulic Breaker Line
Designed with fewer moving parts for optimal reliability, the MB 1500 hydraulic breaker attachment from Atlas Copco Construction Tools LLC is ideal for demolition, road work, trenching and secondary rock breaking. The new unit joins four existing models to complete Atlas Copco's medium-duty range of hydraulic breakers.
Featuring industry-leading technology, the MB 1500 offers exceptional breaking performance through the combination of high single blow energy and an impressive impact frequency of up to 640 blows per minute. Additionally, the new breaker was engineered with fewer components for reduced maintenance and longer service life.
At a service weight of 3,310 pounds, the MB 1500 is suitable for carriers in the 17 to 29 metric ton weight class. The breaker accepts hydraulic input flow of 32 to 41. gallons per minute at operating pressures of 2,320 to 2,610 psi.
The MB 1500 includes the AutoControl monitoring system, which allows the breaker to adapt its frequency and power output to match operating conditions. It begins by firing the first stroke at half power to create a pilot notch that helps to center the working tool and prevent unnecessary tool slippage. It then adjusts the power output to match the density of the specified material to be broken. This reduces excess shock on both the breaker and carrier and lengthens the service life of tension bolts and retainer bars.
To further maximize efficiency, the MB 1500 features the StartSelect system, which allows start-up and shut-off to be adjusted to fit jobsite conditions. In AutoStop mode, the breaker will not fire until the operator applies down pressure on the working tool. AutoStop eliminates blank firing by circulating the hydraulic oil internally under low pressure when down pressure is not applied to the tool. This feature is ideal for safely circulating and warming the hydraulic system before breaking in cold climates.
