Epiroc has recently unveiled the new EC 122
hydraulic breaker, engineered to deliver improved handling, extended service
life, and simplified maintenance. The EC 122 is designed for a wide range of
tasks, including demolition, rock excavation, quarrying, and utility work.
Maintenance has been streamlined through Epiroc’s
new wear insert. The lower wear bush now features a turn-able insert, allowing
operators to rotate the component to distribute wear evenly, extending its
lifespan. This design eliminates the need for special tools and enables quick
field replacement, minimizing downtime.
Additionally, the replaceable piston liner enhances
repairability, ensuring cost-effective maintenance, and longer operational
life.
The updated EC 122 is 80 kg lighter than its
predecessor, reducing overall carrier load and improving manoeuvrability. With
a service weight of 1.120 kg, the EC 122 is designed for carriers in the
15–24-ton range, making it an ideal choice for operators seeking efficiency
without compromising power.
The EC 122 integrates hybrid technology with a
nitrogen piston accumulator, delivering consistent impact energy and smooth
operation. Epiroc’s VibroSilenced Plus system further reduces noise and
vibration by isolating the percussion mechanism and sealing all openings,
creating a safer and more comfortable working environment.
Equipped with an integrated control valve and
EnergyRecovery system, the EC 122 optimizes hydraulic efficiency while reducing
vibrations. Active percussion chamber ventilation minimizes internal wear,
ensuring the breaker remains in peak condition for extended periods.
