DARDA AND BROKK: MAXIMUM POWER IN VERY COMPACT MACHINERY

• The Darda C20 breaking cylinder has a breaking force of more than 1500 tons/m2. It is rotating and can be implemented in machines between five and ten tons.
• Brokk demolition robots offer the most power per unit weight and outperform excavators four times their size.

Madrid, 19/02/2019. The German company Darda is known for being the creator of the hydraulic wedge and counter wedge breaking system. Darda hydraulic breakers are distinguished by their ability to break rock and concrete, without producing shock waves or noise, and by their breaking power.

This equipment is commonly used for emptying and preparing soil for foundations in land whose subsoil is made up of granite and other very hard rocks and requires a very powerful machine to break it. Currently, its use is becoming more widespread in tunnels, urban works, high-rise construction and construction of single-family homes as a result of the advantages it provides over other means of demolition (such as the practically zero production of shock waves). Its application stands out in the areas of the Iberian Peninsula since this type of rock formations abound. Using Darda hydraulic breakers facilitates the deepening for foundations and the expansion of spaces for garages, often required by municipal regulations.

In addition, Darda has the breaking cylinder with the best weight/power ratio on the market: the Darda C20. This cylinder is capable of breaking rock, concrete or stone, cleanly, concisely and without emitting noise, vibrations or dust.

It is a very safe and productive hydraulic wedge, which stands out for its different mounting options, as well as its easy insertion into the machinery. The Darda C20 is rotating and versatile and can be used on machines between five and ten tons and has been designed to break materials in a controlled and precise way. Likewise, its breaking direction is adjustable and both the central wedge and its lateral counter wedges have automatic lubrication.

Brokk demolition robot

On the other hand, Brokk, the leading company in the manufacture of remote-controlled demolition robots, also stands out for the power of all its machines. Brokk demolition robots are used for all kinds of jobs: from demolition work, nuclear power plants, mines or cement.

They are the robots that offer the most power per unit weight and their arms, divided into three sections, can be fitted with different tools such as hammers, shears, buckets, clamshells, tongs, milling machines or even Darda hydraulic breakers. In addition, thanks to the remote control, the operators will be safer because they can direct the machine from a safe place. Despite their compact size, Brokk robots outperform excavators four times their size.

One of the big and powerful Brokk robots is the model 300, born to meet the growing demands of the industry. This model, which replaces the previous 280, incorporates a more powerful hammer and its hitting power is 40% greater. In addition, this powerful robot is equipped with the latest SmartPower TM technology, thanks to which the power output is increased to 37 Kw, providing the necessary flow and hydraulic pressure to power the heaviest and most powerful implements.

It only weighs 500 kg more than the previous Brokk 280 and retains compact measurements to access smaller or hard-to-reach places. This robot includes certain improvements such as a new arm system, which makes its vertical and horizontal reach reach 6,5m and 6,1m respectively.

The Brokk 500 demolition robot also stands out for its power, up to 40% more than its predecessor Brokk 400. This robot has a reinforced design, yet it retains the same measurements as the 400, in order to get into tight spaces. The Brokk 500 also comes equipped with the Brokk SmartPowerTM system – a more robust, intelligent electrical system that efficiently adjusts power and consumption for maximum performance and availability over the life of the machine.

On top of all that, the new robot also introduces a number of clever improvements that will make its daily maintenance easier.
