TEX pneumatic breakersWhen quality counts

If you have rented, bought or operated a TEX pneumatic breaker somewhere around the globe you must likely know it for its performance and reliability. The reason that it keeps performing, day in, day out, year after year is simplicity. Our machines are used on the toughest of jobs and often in very difficult condi-tions. And they keep coming back for more. Because of that word ‘simplicity’.

SimplicitySimplicity of design means fewer parts, less hassle, easier on-site service and maintenance and therefore less down–time. Good news for everyone who buys, rents, or operates our machines.

When we first introduced the TEX range we raised the bar for the industry and it became a global leader. And still is.

The most recent additions to the TEX range include new design features that live up to the TEX breakers’ reputation for excellent handling, performance and reliability. Simplicity, in the design and the function of the eight most recent models – TEX 140 - 280, sets a new standard for pneumatic breakers – again!

In each series, and in some cases also between the series, TEX breakers

have many common parts. This helps you keep your parts stock to a mini-mum.They not only share parts, but they have a lot more in common:

Valve parts of glass-fibre reinforced polymer eliminate corrosion prob-lems

When the machines are running off-load, the piston turns on air-cushions at either end of the cylinder, virtually eliminating metal-to-metal contact and reducing vibrations and wear

Streamlined silencer profile does not obscure the chisel and work-piece from the operator

Low centre of gravity gives good balance, considerably reducing ope-rator fatigue

Design eliminates need for side bolts1)

Unique swivel coupling, which rota-tes even when pressurized, makes the TEX breakers easier to manoeuvre1)

The TEX range

�

TEX 140-280 series TEX 140-280 is our latest range of light and medium sized breakers.They are ideal for service jobs and general demoli-tion, but not in very hard materials or heavily reinfor-ced concretePage 4-7

TEX 20-21 series TEX 20PS and TEX 21PE are medium sized service/general demolition breakers.They are characterized by a long piston stroke, giving them a harder impact than similarly sized standard breakers. They are the best choice for applications in medium hard materials and where you need lower weight or low air consumption.Page 8-9

TEX P60-P90 series TEX P60 and TEX P90 were developed to meet the tough requirements found, for example, in the rental industry. TEX P60 is ideal for breaking asphalt, while the TEX P90 is our most powerful demolition breaker, especially suitable for breaking hard reinforced concrete or other tasks where real power is required.Page 10-11

TEX 32-40 series The TEX 32-40 models are heavy duty, general demolition breakers, used in a number of applications on medium hard to hard materials. They are well proven in both asphalt and concrete.Page 12-13

The latest TEX series is a marriage of the best and most useful features, characteristics and performance of the breaker range it replaces, and a number of new, but well-proven features such as Atlas Copco’s solid body concept and the two-step trigger, SOFSTARTTM.

Solid body conceptThe solid housing design contains fewer parts – and that means greater reliabi-lity. It also allows for fast and exceptio-nally easy on-site service – a few basic tools are all you need.

Existing Atlas Copco products that feature the solid body concept have enjoyed great success, winning broad market acceptance.

PE vibro-reduced breakersFor the new PE breakers, with spring-mounted handles, we have further improved the vibration characteristics, decreasing the vibration emissions. The new breakers are still as hard-hitting and

reliable as the previous TEX series, but with greater operator comfort and more productivity.

PS breakers – noise-reduced, standard breakersThese fixed-handle breakers feature all the advantages of the PE series except the vibro-reducing handles. They are as hardy, reliable and productive as ever.

TEX 140-280 seriesSolid body, solid performance and ease of use

SOFSTARTTM trigger – full chisel controlThese breakers come with a two-step trigger that gives you full control when starting a cut – even under difficult conditions.

Handling made easierThe air inlet swivel rotates easily, even when pressurized.

Noise reduction The wear-resistant polyurethane silencer cuts noise emission by up to 75 % (as com-pared to the same machine without noise reduction, ISO 3744). Its slim profile lets the operator see the point of the chisel and the work-piece.

Solid body concept – no side bolts, great reliabilityThe one-piece solid housing means fewer parts for greater reliability.The housing has also been made shorter in all brea-kers except the TEX 140 and TEX 150. This together with a low centre of gravity gives good balance.

Air cushioningTo reduce vibration and wear, the pis-ton turns on air-cushions at either end of the cylinder. When the machines are working off-load, this practically eliminates metal-to-metal contact.

Atlas Copco’s HAPS® systemBy reducing the in-use vibration value of the machine, Atlas Copco’s HAPS system decreases the negative effects of harmful vibration at a given trigger time. The PE series machines allow up to 7 times the trigger time of con-ventional fixed-handled machines at a given level of vibration-expo-sure for the operator.

The integrated lubricatorhelps minimize tool wear and is excellent for cold conditions, when it can be used for anti-freeze, such as Atlas Copco AIR-OIL. It holds enough lubricant for an entire shift.

TEX 20-21 seriesThe hard-hitting all-rounder

Most of the time you want a reliable all-rounder. The fighting weight of the TEX 20 and TEX 21 at around 20 kg, is about 5 kg lighter than most breakers in the same class. But with their long pis-ton stroke they deliver the extra punch needed for breaking materials that are a bit harder. This makes them ideal for general purpose service or demolition jobs.

Easier on your hands – and your earsThe TEX 21 comes with spring-dampe-ned handles that reduce vibration. The slim profile silencer gives the operator a good, full view of the chisel. The silen-cer cuts the noise from the machine by up to 75%, making working life for the

operator easier and quieter; and more productive.

There is also a standard, noise- reduced model with fixed handles in the range, the TEX 20.

Both models are equally easy to ser-vice and come with a standard hexago-nal shank, or a special round shank with a square collar.

By improving the vibra-tion characteristics of the machine, Atlas Copco’s Hand and Arm Protection System (HAPS) reduces the negative effects of harmful vibrations.

Air cushioning – reduced vibration and wearWhen the machine is running off-load, the piston turns on air cushions at both ends of the cylinder, virtually eliminating metal-to-metal contact and reducing vibrations and wear.

With the TEX P60 and TEX P90 we concentrate on two key factors for de-manding customers: Performance and reliability. The TEX P60 and TEX P90 are designed, just like the TEX 140 – 280 series, from a one piece, solid-cast housing, which eliminates the need for separate frontheads, backheads and si-debolts. This design means 30 % fewer parts than in traditional breakers. And fewer parts mean fewer breakdowns.

The TEX P90 is the most hard hitting breaker in the TEX range and ideal for demanding demolition jobs in hard ma-terials. For TEX P60 the focus is on high

productivity when cutting softer mate-rials like asphalt and therefore it has a high blow frequency.

Minimal parts inventory and easy serviceAll but three parts in the TEX P60 and TEX P90 are interchangeable, so your spare parts inventory can be kept to a minimum. These heavy-duty breakers allow extremely fast and easy on-site service. A hammer and a mandrel are all you need for almost any service task, wherever you are.

TEX P60-P90 heavy breaker seriesBig on power. Big on performance.

Easy to manoeuvreWith a low centre of gravity, these breakers are well balanced and easy to handle. The unique air inlet swivel, which can be rotated even when pressurized, makes the TEX breakers still easier to manoeuvre.

Reduced wearThe anvil block, a tried and tested design from earlier heavy models, not only helps handle the great impact energy, but also helps avoid damage to the hammer me-chanism from worn out chisel shanks.

Optional silencerThe silencer, available as an option, signifi-cantly reduces the noise level. Thanks to its slim design, it provides a full view of the chisel and work-piece for maximum control.

Controlled powerThere is power in abundance, but it is easy to control. Thanks to the SOFSTARTTM two-step trigger, the operator can begin to hammer slowly, set-ting the chisel where it’s needed, without a lot of wasted effort.

Air-cushioned actionTEX P60 and TEX P90 feature air-cushioned piston return. This means less vibration during back hammering and blank ham-mering, which reduces stress on man and machine.

Full-shift lubricatorThe built-in lubricator ensures sufficient lubrication to minimize tool wear. It is easily accessible, accepts both mineral and synthetic oils and holds enough oil for an entire shift.

Solid body concept – no side boltsThe one-piece housing means fewer parts and great reliability.

TEX 32-40 heavy demolition breaker series No weaknesses here

What more could you want from a class of heavy pneumatic breakers: good power-to-weight ratio, reduced noise and vibration, and extremely durable and productive. For years, these heavy TEX breakers have been proving their value to customers worldwide, under the most demanding of conditions.

This series incorporates the TEX 33PE and TEX 40PE with spring dampened handles allow up to 7 times the trigger time of conventional fixed-handled machines at a given level of vibration-exposure for the operator. By reducing the in-use vibration value of the machine, Atlas Copco’s HAPS system decreases the negative effects of harmful vibration at a given trigger time. Coupled with the slim silencers, which reduce the noise level by up to 75%, while still providing full view of the chisel, you have machines that can be used for a prolonged period and are extremely productive.

The TEX 32PS and TEX 39PS offer state-of-the-art noise reduction in combina-tion with an efficient and well-proven design. These reliable workhorses are at work all around the world. They have fixed handles, but are otherwise identi-cal to the vibro-reduced units.

The various models in the series have many common parts and therefore your parts inventory can be kept to a mini-mum.
