Sandvik breakers Parts and tools
Parts and toolsSandvik Mining and Construction recognises that all our breakers and attachments are
only ever as good as the parts and tools they use.
Which is why our genuine parts and tools utilize the best raw materials and heat
treatment characteristics to ensure optimum durability across a broad range of
industries, materials and applications.
These parts and tools are available through a highly experienced global dealer network
that is unparalleled within our industry and which ensures that you get the right part or
tool, to the right place, at the right time.
During recent years Sandvik has researched tool design that will provide our customers
longer service life and better value. Sandvik's innovative tool design and world wide
testing programs have resulted in improved wear characteristics and greater durability
for our tools for a broader range of applications. Several new tools have been designed
with job specific requirements in mind.
Breaking application - Impact breaking
Impact breaking applications include boulder breaking and heavily reinforced concrete
breaking. The tool will typically not penetrate the material, as the material is broken by
destructive stress waves generated by the breaker, being transmitted through the tool
into material. (granite boulders, diorite, quartzite, heavily reinforced concrete, etc.)
Breaking application - Penetrative breaking
Penetrative breaking applications include general concrete demolition, removal of soft
rock, and frozen and hard ground. The material is broken by a combination of impact
energy and a `wedging' effect which forces the material to be separate as the tool
penetrates. (concrete, pudding stone, marl, etc.)

Choosing the right toolSeveral factors must be identified in the process of choosing the correct tool for
any specific job application. First one must determine if the job is an `impact' or
`penetrative' breaking application. Sandvik has introduced several tool models designed
with `job specific' work requirements, providing excellent value, long life and maximum
performance.
In the `impact' applications, one must identify the level of abrasive characteristics in the
material. The Sandvik Super Blunt tools provide excellent wear characteristic and long
life in applications breaking highly abrasive oversize materials, for example.. high silica
content boulders.
Primary breaking of hard rock will require the Sandvik Hard Rock Chisel. This tool is
geometrically designed for the highest production possible and long service life. In the
event the rock is very hard and homogenous, re-sharpening of the contact point may be
required.
Penetrative applications such as the breaking of limestone and non-reinforced concrete
require the Sandvik Limestone Chisel. Compared to standard chisel tools, the Sandvik
Limestone Chisel is specially designed for faster penetration while reducing the idle
blow effects caused by soft materials applications.
Correctly matching the right tool to the job application is critical to achieving the
highest level of production with lowest possible operating costs.
Use always original Sandvik tools. Any breaker failures caused by the use of pirate tools
are not covered by warranty.
Training
Sandvik also offers product specialist training on all its products as well as operator
training to ensure that you and your investment are achieving the best results.

Demolition tools Wear parts
Just like the tool for a breaker, Sandvik's range of demolition tool attachments also have
wear parts.
The Sandvik BP range of pulverizer and Sandvik BC cutter-crusher range of demolition
tools are essential additions to any demolition application and Sandvik offers a complete
range of spare parts to ensure that your productivity is maintained at it's highest level at
all times.
With 4 different jaw types and various other teeth options that can be attached
Sandvik's BC multiprocessor range can cut, crush, pulverize and tear down even the
most reinforced structure, which is something that can be achieved by using the highest
quality wear parts.
For more information on Sandvik's full range of demolition tools and replacement wear
parts please contact your local dealer.
