Hyundai earthmoving equipment’s sole local distributor, High Power Equipment Africa (HPE), recently launched the SU+ series as part of its range of hydraulic breakers manufacturer Soosan hydraulic breakers. The series has been designed with a higher power-to-weight ratio and increased impact frequency for greater production efficiency.

Applications for these hydraulic breakers include primary and secondary breaking in quarries, site preparation and foundation work, road construction, trenching, tunnelling and bench levelling, as well as general construction works.

The newly developed bounce-controlled percussion system decreases recoils during hammering work to reduce damage to the hammer and carrier, also improving operator comfort.

A thermal stress analysis system controls heat generation and protects the breaker from excessive heat. As a result, breakers maintain a constant percussion frequency at high temperatures. Greater accumulator capacity (extractable charge) ensures a stable hydraulic system, with reduced surges, while a valve adjuster enables oil flow to be altered to suit on-site working conditions.

A new antiscratch system enables safe operation and durability – even in harsh working conditions – and specially developed devices prevent foreign substances flowing into the cylinder. A pressure-resistant hydraulic hose reduces vibration, while extended tool bushing prevents damage to the piston and cylinder caused by misaligned tool hammering.

This range is compatible with tractor/loader/backhoe digger loaders, as well as 20 t to 36 t excavators.

Product Offering
HPE Africa distributes a wide range of earthmoving equipment, which includes mobile crushing and screening units, as well as hydraulic hammers and drills.

“MB crusher buckets, McCloskey mobile crushing and screening plants and Soosan hydraulic hammers and drills, available exclusively in Southern Africa from HPE Africa, ensure efficient performance and extended service life in harsh operating conditions,” says HPE Africa product specialist Dave Davel.

“This robust crushing and screening equipment is suitable for small, medium- and large-scale projects in mining, quarrying, construction, demolition, recycling and agriculture,” he adds.

MB jaw action crusher buckets are designed for on-site crushing of inert materials and, unlike other crusher buckets on the market, this range is also able to process and crush material containing rebar steel.

Iron separators efficiently divide various iron elements, including concrete, and steel, during the crushing process. For this reason, these crusher buckets are ideal for aggregate and demolition applications, where volumes of 35 m³/h to 50 m³/h are required.
