How to choose the right SOOSAN hydraulic breaker hammer model?

Hydraulic breakers have long been a standard tool in excavator construction. Whether it's municipal construction, road maintenance, mining, or infrastructure demolition, the efficient operation of a breaker is essential.
Among the many brands, the Korean SOOSAN breaker is one of the most widely used in the domestic market due to its powerful striking force, excellent durability, and high cost-effectiveness.
However, faced with dozens of models in the SB series, many customers often struggle with choosing the right one.

1. Main Model Classifications of SOOSAN Hydraulic Breakers
SOOSAN hydraulic breakers are primarily selected based on excavator tonnage and workload. Common models include:
1) Small Soosan Hydraulic Hammer (suitable for excavators weighing 0.8–8 tons)
---Representative models: SB10, SB20, SB30, SB35
---Features: Lightweight and flexible, high impact frequency, low noise.
---Applicable applications: Municipal engineering, indoor demolition, trench excavation, and working in confined spaces.

2) Medium Soosan Excavator Breaker (Suitable for 8–20 ton excavators)
---Representative models: SB40, SB43, SB45, SB50
---Features: Moderate impact force, balanced efficiency and durability, and highly versatile.
---Applicable applications: Road construction, general demolition, and medium-hard rock crushing.

3) Large Soosan Hammer Breaker (Suitable for 20–50 ton excavators)
---Representative models: SB60, SB70, SB81, SB100
---Features: High impact energy and extremely high efficiency, capable of tackling complex rock and hard concrete.
---Applicable applications: Mining, large-scale infrastructure projects, and tunnel construction.

4) Super-Large Hydraulic Rock Breaker (Suitable for excavators over 50 tons)
---Representative Models: SB121, SB151, SB200
---Features: Heavy-duty impact force, capable of handling high-intensity mining operations and special working conditions.
---Applicable Working Conditions: Large-scale mining, large-scale demolition, and special engineering projects.

2. Three Key Factors for Choosing a SOOSAN Breaker Model
1) Excavator Tonnage Compatibility
--The breaker must match the excavator's hydraulic system.
--For example, for a 12-ton excavator, the SB40 or SB43 is recommended, while for a 35-ton excavator, the SB81 or higher is recommended.
2) Construction Environment and Working Conditions
--Urban Low-Noise Operations → Small SB20–SB35
--Road and General Demolition → Medium SB40–SB50
--Heavy-Duty Mining Operations → Large SB81–SB121
3) Budget and Maintenance Costs
--Small Hammers → Low Investment, Simple Maintenance.
--Large Hammers → Higher Investment, but Higher Efficiency, and Greater Long-Term Returns.
--Selecting a breaker requires a balance between project lifecycle and economic viability.

3. Recommended Popular Models
---SB40: Suitable for excavators weighing 8–12 tons, it offers a wide range of applications and is a versatile tool for small and medium-sized projects.
---SB50: A classic, best-selling model with a high cost-performance ratio, suitable for excavators weighing 12–18 tons.
---SB81: A star model for large-scale projects, offering powerful impact and relatively low maintenance costs.
---SB121: An essential tool for mining, ensuring high efficiency in high-intensity construction.
