Blue Diamond Attachments has introduced a 12-model line of hydraulic breakers, designed for demolition and quarry applications, including underwater jobs.
The breaker line is compatible with excavators, mini-skid, skid steer and compact track loaders.
Blue Diamond’s line enables contractors to select specialized breakers engineered specifically for their machines, with models available for equipment ranging from 680-kg mini track loaders to 55-ton class excavators, providing the ideal match for any application.
Blue Diamond breakers feature a solid mono-block design milled from a single piece of steel rather than assembled sections held together with tie rods, eliminating most common maintenance issues.
As well, the breakers feature a unique vibration dampening system consisting of a polyurethane shell that wraps around the mono-block and sits inside the Hardox steel outer casing. The design reduces noise and significantly reducing vibration transfer to the host machine, protecting hydraulic components, pins and bushings from excessive wear while improving operator comfort.
For versatility, many of the breaker models feature interchangeable mounting brackets, allowing a single breaker to be moved between different host machines including excavator to skid steer, by simply transferring the unit to a compatible mount. This flexibility increases utilization rates and return on investment.
The breakers are also built with a self-regulating valve that protects them from over pressurization, excessive flow and back pressure. This increases productivity when switching between host machines or in rental applications, eliminating the need to test the machine’s hydraulic pressure and flow before operation.
As well, anti-blank firing means Blue Diamond Breakers will not operate unless pressure is applied to the tool. This feature prevents internal damage from dry firing while the attachment is not engaged with material.
The hydraulic breakers feature four tool configurations – a moil point, a chisel tool, a pyramid tool and a blunt tool. Each tool type is manufactured from high-grade, heat-treated steel with precision machining to ensure proper fit and maximum energy transfer from the piston to the material being broken. Tools are easily interchangeable with minimal downtime, allowing operators to select and change the tool in the field without additional wrenches or keys.
