Atlas Copco Introduces New Attachment

Atlas Copco, a construction tools company headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, has added another unit to its line of Combi Cutter hydraulic demolition attachments. The CC 2500 offers faster jaw replacement, enhanced stability and shorter cycle times. 

Both universal and steel-cutting jaws are available for the new unit. Opening to a width of 34.6 inches, the universal jaws are suited for heavily reinforced concrete demolition, building demolition, secondary reduction and material separation. The steel-cutting jaws open 16.8 inches wide and are effective for steel structure demolition, secondary reduction and material separation. Both jaws deliver a maximum cutting force of 330 tons.

Further features of the CC 2500 include a single pin jaw retention design that improves tool visibility for the operator, decreases the total weight of the unit and reduces the time required to switch between the different sets of cutting jaws. The CC 2500 also comes with a coupling and positioning system (CAPS) that keeps each set of jaws connected after they have been removed and facilitates refitting through a special guide system.

The CC 2500 has been designed with an advanced speed valve and enlarged cross sections of hydraulic lines, allowing it to open and close in less than six seconds, according to the manufacturer. Additionally, the attachment is configured so that the single jaw passes through a double jaw, maximizing stability. With a maximum operating pressure of 5,075 psi, the CC 2500 is compatible with carriers in the 22 to 35 metric ton weight class.
