Epiroc starts with another first in hydraulic breaker technology. Many of the company’s rig mounted heavy hydraulic breakers now feature the patented Intelligent Protection System (IPS). Seamlessly combining Epiroc’s popular AutoControl and StartSelect functions, this fully automated system provides simpler, more efficient, and more economical operation than ever before.
IPS makes the breaking process even simpler for the operator by automatically adapting the breaker’s operating behavior to any working condition. Uptime is higher since, with its fully automated functionality, IPS requires no operator intervention or reaction and thus there is no interruption of the working process.
The system permits more accurate and significantly faster positioning of the breaker, thanks to the centering effect, and avoids blank firing that often results in tool damage. This also eliminates mechanical strain on the carrier and the life of all wear components is extended. The physical load on the operator is minimized as well.
