Atlas Copco R TEX Breaker

Atlas Copco’s R TEX pneumatic breaker offers rental centers and contractors a cost effective and powerful solution for a variety of demolition projects. The R TEX requires just 37 cfm to operate, about 50 percent less air energy than conventional breakers in the same weight class. This gives contractors the option to run multiple breakers off of a compact air compressor, resulting in greater efficiency and a high return on investment.

Contractors will notice the R TEX difference after one use. Since the R TEX air consumption is essentially cut in half, contractors are able to run two 60-pound R TEX breakers off a 90-cfm compressor.

• The R TEX has the breaking capacity of a 66-pound breaker or greater, but weighs only 55 pounds. Its Sofstart two-step trigger lets the operator start the breaker slowly for full control over the chisel’s starting position and placement.
• The R TEX operates with a constant pressure control that features improved energy transfer from the breaker to the new R HEX power chisel. The R HEX chisel generates a powerful breaking force and features a concave tip profile to significantly reduce jamming and promote operator productivity.
• The constant pressure chamber sits at the top of the breaker and serves as an advanced pneumatic suspension, which minimizes vibrations.
• The breaker’s minimal vibrations also minimize stress on its internal components, which means fewer spare parts replacements and less maintenance.
• The R TEX features a long piston design that delivers double the interaction time — 100 milliseconds — of the tool with the surface than conventional pistons. This results in higher impact energy per blow and faster results than what can be achieved with conventional breakers in the 60-pound weight class.
