Brokk 280 Increases Power, Upgrades Electrical System in Tougher Design

Brokk introduces the new Brokk 280. The machine features increased demolition power over its predecessor, includes the all-new Brokk SmartPower electrical system, and incorporates additional hardened parts for extra durability in tough environments. The improvements increase the reliability and versatility for Brokk customers working on harsh jobsites in industries such as construction, metal processing, mining and nuclear. The Brokk 280 features:

• A 20-foot (6.2-meter) reach and weighs 6,945 pounds (3,150 kilograms).
•  Delivers a significant boost in productivity by generating as much as 25 percent more breaking performance — a combination of impact power and blow frequency — over its predecessor.
• Improved maneuvering capabilities with softer, smoother movements.
• Brokk SmartPower system which optimizes machine performance based on a number of factors, including power supply quality and ambient temperature. Brokk SmartPower senses when a power supply is poor or faulty, making it suitable for generators or unreliable power supplies. The electrical system can also be set to work on worn fuses.
• The SmartPower intelligent motor control uses smart dynamic effect control to monitor temperatures of the electric and hydraulic systems. It also tracks the electrical motor’s power usage and adjusts the machine to use more power in cold environments and less power in hot environments.
• The Brokk 280 boasts a 60 percent increase in cooling system capacity over the Brokk 260 it replaces.
• The machine sports a new design that adds hardened parts and details to almost the entire unit. This includes LED headlight protection, reinforced machine corners and a new steel gray color coating in strategic areas to add an additional level of resistance to dirt and scratches.
• The Brokk 280 can be used with the same variety of attachments as the Brokk 260, including breakers, crushers, scabblers, buckets, grapples, drills, shotcrete nozzles, beam manipulators and rock splitters.
