Indeco Tests New Product Improvements

Indeco’s testing program improves Productivity and Reliability in Secondary breaking reports STEPHEN MORRIS.

ELFIE’S Plant Hire owner David Alford has been contracted by Boral for approximately ten years for secondary breaking requirements at their Colac Quarry. Equipped with an Indeco HP 5000 whisper breaker it has proved to be very productive and successful.

With Indeco’s constant pursuit to improve performance and reliability, David has been chosen to test the new range of retaining axles in a secondary breaking application. His testing over a period of two years has enabled Indeco to provide customers a far superior product.

Indeco believe that they have developed the optimum retaining axle for increased longevity and reliability. Having the right combination of specially selected metal and heat treatments has significantly extended the working life of the retaining axles in a secondary breaking application. This has reduced maintenance costs and possible downtime in a quarry application where blank firing can be a major concern.

Another major development has been the Anti Blank Firing system (ABF). The ABF system eliminates the necessity to install a dump valve on the return to tank oil line in certain applications.

Without the ABF system, oil in the line can fire the Rock Breaker after it has broken through the rock, resulting in blank firing. This can have a detrimental effect on the life of the retaining axles and the top of the chisel.

Indeco has also found with the improved components and ABF fitted to their larger breakers, maintenance of our breaker range has been significantly reduced. This in turn has increased the customers’ productivity and has enabled them to maximise the breaker to its full potential.

Indeco has also equipped automatic greasing units on their rental breaker fleet so they can be easily fitted to excavators that don’t have an existing automatic greasing system. This saves the operator from manually greasing the breaker and guarantees chisel lubrication as well as preventing premature wear on the top and bottom bush.
