Hydraulic breaker technologies in mining and aggregate applications have evolved rapidly to include advancements that are focused on optimizing breaking efficiency, reducing operating costs and minimizing downtime on the job.
In an effort to deliver maximum performance and reliability options for this growth trajectory, Toku America Inc. recently developed its STRIKER Rock Breaker System comprised of Heavy Duty, Mid-Range and Mobile system options. The efficient and robust systems feature a versatile boom that allows the powerful hydraulic breaker to reach into the crusher’s mouth − effectively reducing oversized boulders and clearing any blockages in the hopper.
By incorporating Toku’s STRIKER Rock Breaker Systems, mines and quarries around the world can significantly improve safety, productivity and profitability in their crushing operations. All systems are custom engineered to meet specific crusher and aggregate material application demands in a wide range of sizes and reach− Nominal Max Horizontal Reach FT (M), Max Horizontal Reach FT (M), and Max Vertical Reach FT (M).
Products include:
Heavy Duty Rock Breaker: Essential for permanent rock breaking in demanding environments, these systems provide the safest solution for managing bridging, material build-ups and oversized rocks.
Mid-Range Rock Breaker: Designed to strike an optimal balance between lightweight construction and high capacity. The boom pedestal’s larger footprint enhances stress distribution and strengthens the foundation structures. Generally installed above the opening of a primary crusher.
Mobile Rock Breaker: Compact design ideally integrated into portable crushing plants – attaching directly to the mobile crusher’s structure. By clearing bridged rock and breaking oversized materials in the hopper (without the need to halt operations or reposition equipment), these versatile boom systems can boost productivity by up to 30%.
Toku America/Hydraulic Breaker: Installed at the end of the boom system, Toku’s STRIKER TNB hydraulic breakers feature a uniquely simple yet efficient design with only two moving parts − requiring no maintenance. Its advanced “accumulator free” technology delivers exceptional impact energy, long life, and low operating costs. Based on the same design philosophy, it also features a complete range of 15 breakers to match a myriad of demanding aggregate application needs.
According to Toku America President Matt Gruden, “Toku’s STRIKER Rock Breaker Systems boast three models with a wide array of sizes, reaches and capacity configurations. By customizing these system parameters, mine and quarry operations can easily matchup to their unique aggregate demands − optimizing performance, safety and material output.”
