Based in Gipuzkoa, Spain, Topac manufactures pneumatic hammers for the mining, construction, quarry and other industrial sectors. The product range includes pick hammers, mini pick hammers, rock drill hammers and concrete breakers, as well as related tools and accessories.
Topac is the brand of the pneumatic hammers division of Elcoro Decoletaje, a Spanish industrial group founded in 1892. All Topac hammers are manufactured at the Gipuzkoa facility and comply with European CE standards.
According to Topac, its hammers are exported to numerous markets such as Colombia, Brazil, Cuba, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay, as well as Europe, North Africa, Indonesia and the Philippines. The brand is currently present in 25 countries and continues to expand its distribution network globally.
Topac hammers feature a functional and ergonomic design, with a reduced number of parts and an air chamber system. They require no in-line lubrication, except for the drill hammers.
The pick hammers, with weights of 5.5 kg and 8 kg, are lightweight and small in size. They are suitable for use in mining, construction of tunnels, demolition of concrete, and more.
The mini pick hammers weigh only 5 kg and offer low air consumption. Designed for ease of operation, they are excellent for construction, mining, rehabilitation and other industrial applications.
The concrete breakers comprise two models. The T-275 with a weight of 30 kg is well suited for heavy demolition works. Its exclusive ‘air chamber’ system allows users to overcome the vibration tests without additional tools, like antivibration handles. Meanwhile, the T-103 has a weight of 10.5 kg and is ideal for light demolition works.
The rock drill hammers, weighing 17 kg and 25 kg, are specially designed for high speed drilling. They feature low air consumption and can be supplied with a water jet. The air-line lubricator T-5000 should always be used to ensure a proper running, efficiency and long life of these drill hammers.
All Topac hammers have a pressure of between 5 bar and 7 bar. They provide reduced maintenance costs due to less wear and tear on parts. This also makes them highly durable.
