07.08.2008 MB 1500: Ideal for demolition

The MB 1500 hydraulic breaker attachment from Atlas Copco Construction Tools LLC (Sweden) is ideal for demolition, road work, trenching and secondary rock breaking. The new unit joins four existing models to complete Atlas Copco`s medium-duty range of hydraulic breakers.

The MB 1500 offers exceptional breaking performance through the combination of high single blow energy and an impressive impact frequency of up to 640 blows per minute. Additionally, the new breaker was engineered with fewer components for reduced maintenance and longer service life. At a service weight of 3,310 pounds, the MB 1500 is suitable for carriers in the 17 to 29 metric ton weight class.

The MB 1500 includes the AutoControl monitoring system, which allows the breaker to adapt its frequency and power output to match operating conditions. It then adjusts the power output to match the density of the specified material to be broken. This reduces excess shock on both the breaker and carrier and lengthens the service life of tension bolts and retainer bars. To further maximize efficiency, the MB 1500 features the StartSelect system, which allows start-up and shut-off to be adjusted to fit jobsite conditions. In AutoStop mode, the breaker will not fire until the operator applies down pressure on the working tool.
