Saudi Arabia: EPCC hydraulic breaker

Atlas Copco Middle East has commissioned the regions first HB10000 hydraulic breaker at EPCC in Dammam, Saudi Arabia.

The HB10000 weights 10t and is mounted on a Komatsu PC1250 excavator, making it the world’s largest commercially-available hydraulic breaker, according to a company issued statement. EPCC will use the HB10000 for hard limestone deposits.
