New Furukawa Hydraulic Breaker: discover the FHB range!

After equipping demolition sites worldwide since 2013, the renowned FXJ series of hydraulic breakers is stepping aside. Furukawa is innovating and unveiling its brand-new FHB series. More powerful, equipped with built-in intelligence, and as reliable as ever, these new hydraulic breakers redefine the standards of rock breaking and earthmoving.

Nouvelle gamme BRH FHB Furukawa

A complete range of breakers for 9 to 55-ton excavators

To perfectly match the tonnage of each excavator, the FHB breaker range is expanding and now offers 7 distinct models, one more than the previous FXJ generation.

The FHB18: the ideal breaker for 20-ton excavators

The major highlight of this launch is the FHB18 (1,200 kg) model. Specifically designed for the European market, this breaker meets the expectations of construction professionals operating 15 to 26-ton excavators. It is the perfect, highly anticipated tool to dominate the strategic segment of 18 to 21-ton excavators.

Furthermore, the FHB20 model has been redesigned: its length has been reduced by 150 mm compared to the old FXJ225, which gives it a much better balance once mounted on the carrier.

Power and innovation: the exclusive technologies of the FHB series

To maximize productivity on your demolition sites, FRD engineers have redesigned the interior of the breaker using three-dimensional fluid analysis. This technology reduces the internal resistance of the hydraulic oil. The result on the job site is immediate: the impact rate is increased by up to +14.3% depending on the model, while reducing the load on your excavator's engine.

The FHB range also integrates one major innovation to protect your job site equipment: the Quick Switch Valve (QSV). Equipped on the FHB16 to FHB45 models, this manual selector allows the operator to quickly adjust the piston stroke (long or short) and activate the idle blow prevention mode

Reliability and simplified maintenance : the DNA of the monoblock breaker

The FHB series retains what makes the Furukawa brand's strength: the legendary monoblock structure without through bolts.

  • The absence of through bolts eliminates the risk of loosening and metal-to-metal contact, significantly reducing the risk of breakdowns.
  • The outer body has been widened by 10 mm to offer maximum rigidity against the hardest rocks.

The daily maintenance of the breaker is greatly facilitated. Grease supply is done directly on the housing, and the addition of the SenciLube automatic lubrication system ensures optimal lubrication of the tool's guide bushes without human intervention.

Eco-efficient demolition equipment

Environmental constraints are becoming increasingly strict in the construction sector. The optimized internal design of the FHB range reduces the load on the carrier, leading to a decrease in fuel consumption. These developments allow for a global reduction in CO2 emissions estimated at 5,720 tons per year.

In addition, these breakers are designed for sensitive urban job sites: 

  • They are equipped with enlarged side dampers that effectively absorb vibrations and reduce the noise level at the source.
  • They are perfectly compatible with the SencioWhite rod grease, a rapidly biodegradable grease certified by the EU Ecolabel.

The perfect alliance with hushtec noise control shroud

For hyper-urban job sites subject to extremely strict noise regulations (city centers, night work, proximity to hospitals or schools), we recommend pairing your Furukawa breaker with the Hushtec noise control shroud.

While the dampers of the FHB series already significantly reduce the machine's acoustic nuisance, adding a Hushtec acousting barrier helps muffle up to -20dB. It is the ultimate combination to work peacefully and at full power, while meeting the most demanding standards of your clients!
