The DEMCO Hydrox series is built for heavy-duty hydraulic power, delivering maximum impact energy for high-production quarry, mining, demolition, excavation, and civil applications. When the job demands bigger force and longer work cycles, DEMCO Hydrox rock breakers utilise their in-built power valve and blank fire protection to they hit with power and precision, each and every time.

Designed to integrate seamlessly with carrier equipment, these breakers leverage the machine’s hydraulic system to generate industry-leading impact energy for tough jobs. This uncompromising power ensures the Hydrox series is ready to tackle everything from rugged quarry work to large infrastructure projects.

Uniquely designed pistons deliver maximum power at a lower operating pressure, reducing the carrier workload and saving fuel without compromising performance standards. The special hydraulic suspension system ensures blank-fire protection, preventing the piston from impacting the cylinder and prolonging component life.

High-strength steel and unmatched heat treatment and coating processes during construction deliver a hydraulic rock breaker of uncompromising strengths and durability. The heavy-duty housing locks out stress and locks in strength, and the fully silenced case protects the internal components from debris and abuse in harsh conditions.

The unique Isomax buffer system from DEMCO maximises breaker performance while minimising vibration and shock on the carrier. The impact absorbing buffers of this reinforced vibration dampening system helps reduce noise and increase for operator comfort

With a 36-month warranty, parts availability, and technical support on hand, you’ll have confidence your breaker will deliver an enduring performance. Service kits, wear parts, seals, bushings and tools are always ready for quick dispatch too.

MAINTENANCE

How do I store my rock breaker?

Keep it in a dry environment. If stored outdoors, position the chisel end low and the hitch end elevated to prevent moisture entry. Proper storage avoids internal corrosion. Keep in mind that long-term exposure to moisture increases the risk of internal corrosion inside your attachment.

Can I leave a rock breaker outside?

Short-term outdoor storage is acceptable if the breaker is stored with the chisel end pointing downhill. For long-term storage, indoor or properly sheltered conditions are recommended to reduce the risk of internal corrosion.

How do I select the correct size rock breaker for my excavator?

Breaker selection needs to account for carrier operating weight, hydraulic flow rate, working pressure and allowable back pressure. Specification tables can be found on the DEMCO website and DEMCO suppliers are always happy to help out with selecting the right sized rock breaker for your machine. 

What routine checks are important before and after using a breaker?

Operators should regularly inspect tool wear and check hoses and fittings for any leaks. Regular greasing is a must, as is ensuring hydraulic flow and pressure settings are verified. Early inspection and detection of any minor issues, prevents any major issues cropping up in the long-term.

Why has the breaker impact weakened?

Common causes include low nitrogen charge, high back pressure, restricted couplers or worn seals. Proper hydraulic testing is needed to pinpoint the issue.

How can I be sure my breaker is working to full capacity?

Check nitrogen pressure, supply-line pressure, return-line back pressure, and flow rates. Accurate measurement ensures consistent performance.

What does frequency loss with heavy blows indicate?

Usually excessive back pressure, which slows piston return and reduces blow rate. Inspect hoses, any partially closed valves and couplers to correct.

WARRANTY AND SERVICE 

What warranty coverage is available for DEMCO rockbreakers?

All breakers come with a three-year manufacturer warranty and access to a dedicated service network in your local area, including parts, service and technical assistance.

How long will I have to wait for new rock breaker parts?

Service kits, wear parts, seals, bushings and tools are held locally for quick dispatch when you need them. Shipping time will depend on your location.

How often does a rock breaker need to be serviced?

Daily inspections are a good maintenance habit to get into, along with regular greasing. Compact breakers also require a nitrogen pressure check at least once a year to maintain performance.
