Develon’s HB-Series Hydraulic Breakers Launched in North America
Develon is expanding its attachment offering and launching its HB-Series hydraulic breakers — the HB06H and HB15FH — in North America.
The breakers are engineered for high-performance, long-lasting durability and easy maintenance in punishing demolition, mining and quarry, and general construction applications. The HB06H and HB15FH are compatible with the DX62R-7 and DX63-7 mini excavators, the DX140LC-7 and DX140LCR-7 crawler excavators and the DX140W-7 wheel excavator.
“The HB-series breakers offer a new concept with high performance and a simplified design,” says Jacob Sherman, product and dealer marketing manager, Develon. “They are specifically optimized and fully certified for select Develon 6-metric-ton mini-excavators and 14-metric-ton crawler and wheel excavators. The HB-series breakers provide the highest possible productivity, whether the excavator operator is breaking concrete or rock.”
High quality, simplified design
Develon HB06H and HB15FH breakers feature high-quality materials and components, ensuring a long lifespan. The breakers’ durability is enhanced through an advanced heat treatment process and the use of quality materials for key components, such as the cylinder and piston.
How a breaker works: The energy of the piston stroke is collected by charged nitrogen gas, and the breakers use an inward valve system with a simple structure and fewer internal parts. A urethane damper prevents vibrations that can damage the breaker and improves operator comfort. The front head supports the breaker and assemblies with a bushing, which absorbs the impact of the tool. The low-noise housing is designed for excavators working in urban areas where noise levels must be controlled or where local regulations require damped breakers.
One-year warranty, local support
The new Develon breakers are backed by a one-year warranty. Like all Develon machines and attachments, the new HB-Series breakers are supported by a Develon dealer service network and expert product specialists, who provide a one-stop service for all customers.
