Sandvik

Sandvik Mining and Construction unveiled many exciting products at the show including its first representative of a brand new range of Basic Breaker BA2424 specially designed for the Indian market.

bC India 2011 was not only seen as the perfect opportunity for Sandvik to launch its Basic Breaker line in India but also to showcase recent developments with a particularly Indian flavor and to highlight commitment to the Indian sub-continent market place as a whole, and to India in particular, said R Srinivasa Raghavan, Vice President Construction Segment, Sandvik Mining and Construction Limited.

Simple in design, Sandvik’s new Basic Line utilises fewer working parts for reduced maintenance, together with lower ownership and operating costs. The Basic Line Breakers includes many innovative design elements; they possess a sealed nitrogen piston type accumulator in order to protect the carrier’s hydraulic pump during operation from pressure peaks in the breakers hydraulic circuit. The design also incorporates a long and heavy piston that is aligned with a genuine Sandvik tool, there-by ensuring optimum impact energy transfer with less recoil, in order to minimize carrier wear.

Available in three different housings – Box type, Side plate, and Pin on type – the Basic Line Breakers are easy to mount and operate. Silenced box type housings offer increased noise reduction, making them specifically suitable for urban applications. Although simple, the Basic Line benefits from proven technology, the use of genuine Sandvik parts produced from only the highest quality raw materials, all manufactured to Sandvik quality control standards.

In order to highlight commitment to India, Sandvik’s impressive stand also had different product lines, interactive presentations and unprecedented access to key people within the Sandvik Mining and Construction organization. Some of the products shown include: Breakers (BR3288, BR4099 and BR2155), Basic Line breakers (BA2424), crushing (the Indian produced UJ300/310, US310/UH310 and UV310 semi mobile plants & CJ 411 Jaw Crusher, SV1262 Grizzly feeder), Tunnelling (DT820 Booms), Drilling (DQ500 drill rig).
