SOOSAN PANDA FORCE Hydraulic Breaker — 42 Expert FAQs

Question 1

What is a hydraulic breaker and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

A hydraulic breaker is an excavator attachment that converts hydraulic pressure into high-frequency impact energy to break rock, concrete, and hard ground. The excavator's hydraulic pump supplies oil flow and pressure, driving a piston to strike a chisel at 400–1,200 blows per minute depending on model size.

Question 2

What excavator weight classes do PANDA FORCE breakers cover?

Accepted Answer

The PANDA FORCE series covers excavators from 1.5 t (SB10) to 150 t (SB220), with 18 models in total. Each model is matched to a specific excavator weight range for optimal hydraulic compatibility and maximum blow energy.

Question 3

What materials can PANDA FORCE hydraulic breakers demolish?

Accepted Answer

PANDA FORCE breakers are effective on granite, basalt, limestone, reinforced concrete, asphalt, and frozen ground. They are used for rock breaking, concrete demolition, road construction, quarrying, mining, and trenching.

Question 4

Are PANDA FORCE breakers compatible with all excavator brands?

Accepted Answer

Yes. PANDA FORCE breakers are compatible with Caterpillar, Komatsu, Hitachi, Volvo, Doosan, Hyundai, Sany, XCMG, Liebherr, JCB, and all other major brands. Mounting brackets and hydraulic connections are customised to your specific excavator model.

Question 5

How many models are in the PANDA FORCE series?

Accepted Answer

The 2026 PANDA FORCE series consists of 18 models: SB10, SB20, SB30, SB35, SB40, SB43, SB45, SB50, SB60, SB70, SB81, SB100, SB121, SB130, SB140, SB151, SB175, SB195, SB200, and SB220.

Question 6

What hydraulic flow and pressure are required?

Accepted Answer

Small models (SB10–SB30) require 20–60 L/min at 100–140 bar. Mid-range models (SB50–SB100) require 60–150 L/min at 130–160 bar. Large models (SB121–SB220) require 150–400 L/min at 140–180 bar.

Question 7

What is the impact energy of PANDA FORCE breakers?

Accepted Answer

Impact energy ranges from approximately 150 J (SB10) to over 18,000 J (SB220). The SB70 delivers around 2,500 J and the SB121 approximately 4,500 J.

Question 8

What chisel sizes are available?

Accepted Answer

Chisel diameters range from 45 mm (SB10) to 200 mm (SB220). Standard types include moil point, blunt, flat, and wedge. All chisels are high-grade alloy steel with surface hardening.

Question 9

Does the PANDA FORCE breaker have an auto-stop feature?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All PANDA FORCE models include automatic blank-firing protection that stops the piston when the chisel loses contact with the material, preventing dry-fire damage and extending service life.

Question 10

Can the blow frequency and energy be adjusted?

Accepted Answer

Yes. PANDA FORCE breakers feature an adjustable energy/frequency control valve for high-energy/low-frequency mode (hard rock) or low-energy/high-frequency mode (softer materials). Adjustment is made via a valve on the breaker body without tools.

Question 11

Are PANDA FORCE breakers CE and ISO certified?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All 18 PANDA FORCE models carry CE conformity certification (Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC) and ISO 9001:2015 quality management certification, both renewed for 2026. Full documents available on request.

Question 12

What is the warranty period?

Accepted Answer

SOOSAN provides a 12-month or 1,000-hour warranty (whichever comes first) covering manufacturing defects in the main body, piston, cylinder, and valve assembly. Wear parts such as chisels and bushings are excluded.

Question 13

Is SOOSAN an OEM manufacturer?

Accepted Answer

Yes. SOOSAN Heavy Industries offers OEM manufacturing (private label) with custom colour schemes, logo engraving, custom chisel markings, modified specifications, and custom packaging. Minimum OEM order quantities apply.

Question 14

How do I become an authorised SOOSAN dealer?

Accepted Answer

Visit our Become Agent page and submit the application form. Our team reviews applications within 3 business days. Approved dealers receive exclusive territorial rights, factory-direct pricing, co-branded marketing materials, and a dedicated account manager.

Question 15

Is exclusive territory protection available for dealers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Authorised dealers receive exclusive territory rights for their designated region. Territory boundaries are defined in the dealer agreement and reviewed annually. We do not appoint multiple dealers in the same territory.

Question 16

What is the minimum order quantity for standard models?

Accepted Answer

There is no strict minimum order quantity. Single-unit orders are accepted. For 5 units or more, preferential pricing is available. For 20 units or more, additional discounts and priority production scheduling apply.

Question 17

What payment terms are accepted?

Accepted Answer

We accept T/T (bank transfer), L/C at sight, and Western Union. Standard terms are 30% deposit upon order confirmation, 70% balance before shipment. Authorised dealers may qualify for net 30 payment terms.

Question 18

How long does production and shipping take?

Accepted Answer

Standard stock models: 15–20 business days. Custom configurations: 25–35 business days. Sea freight to Europe: 25–35 days; Africa: 20–30 days; South America: 30–40 days. Air freight available for urgent orders.

Question 19

How often should hydraulic breaker maintenance be performed?

Accepted Answer

Daily: apply chisel grease every 2 hours. Weekly (50 hours): inspect hydraulic hoses, check nitrogen pressure, inspect chisel and bushing wear. Monthly (200 hours): replace seals if leaking, inspect piston. Every 500 hours: full internal inspection recommended.

Question 20

What type of grease should be used for the chisel?

Accepted Answer

Use dedicated hydraulic breaker chisel grease — high-pressure, high-temperature lithium complex grease, NLGI Grade 2. Standard automotive grease is not suitable. Apply every 2 hours of operation. Insufficient greasing is the most common cause of premature chisel and bushing wear.

Question 21

What are the most common causes of hydraulic breaker failure?

Accepted Answer

The five most common causes are: (1) insufficient chisel greasing; (2) blank firing without material contact; (3) incorrect hydraulic flow or pressure; (4) operating with a worn or cracked chisel; (5) using the breaker as a lever causing side-load damage.

Question 22

What is the best hydraulic breaker for a 20-tonne excavator?

Accepted Answer

The PANDA SB121 is recommended for 20-tonne excavators. It delivers approximately 4,500 J at 450–650 BPM, requires 130–180 L/min at 140–160 bar, and is widely used in quarrying, road construction, and urban demolition.

Question 23

What is the best hydraulic breaker for mining and quarrying?

Accepted Answer

For mining and quarrying with 50–150 t excavators, we recommend the SB151, SB175, SB195, SB200, or SB220. These deliver 8,000–18,000 J at low frequency, optimal for hard rock such as granite and basalt.

Question 24

What is the PANDA IoT monitoring module?

Accepted Answer

The PANDA IoT module is an optional telematics system monitoring real-time impact count, operating hours, hydraulic pressure, and temperature. Data is transmitted to a cloud dashboard via mobile app or web browser for predictive maintenance scheduling and remote diagnostics.
