YOUR GUARANTEED CONDITION
SOCOMEC S.p.A., the leader in Italy in the production of hydraulic demolition
attachments, today boasts more than 40 years of experience in this industry. Indeed, in
1973, SOCOMEC was founded to be the first Italian company to manufacture
demolition hammers by the Parma land surveyor and businessman Maestri Ricciotti.

In these forty years, the company has continued to upgrade its technology and
production thanks to cutting-edge technical intuitions aimed at improving the
performance and reliability of its products.

In fact, it holds quite a few patents for demolition hammers.

After becoming the star in this industrial segment in Italy, over 15 years ago
SOCOMEC expanded its business to all five continents, to which today its exports over
75% of its output.

Based on these results, SOCOMEC has recently heavily invested in the improvement
of the quality of its products, obtaining Vision 2000 certification (ISO 9001/2015).

SOCOMEC has therefore entered the new millennium as a solidly organised company
possessing the ideal structure, means and equipment for guaranteeing its clientele
reliable and technically advanced products supported by a highly qualified and fast-
acting after-sales service.
Customer Service
In over 30 years of experience in the sector, SOCOMEC can provide its clientele with
excellent after-sales service for breakers on customer sites within 8 working hours.

SOCOMEC warehouse also keeps on stock spare parts for out of production breakers
models. It also organises courses for the mechanics of its dealers so as to make sure
they are capable of top efficiency assistance.
 Presentation of DMS Series
Hydraulic Breakers
The SOCOMEC light-weight DMS series of hydraulic breakers is designed to
represent the traditional features of all SOCOMEC products: reliability and technical
innovation.

SOCOMEC has been manufacturing monoblock DMS models for the last 17 years -
way back in 1997 it patented the monoblock structure fixed inside the casing with
polyurethane shells – with a range of 8 models structured from 60 to 950 kg of
operating weight. The DMS 950 breaker is the largest and only monoblock available
on the market of this size. This range of breakers are mounted on excavators class
ranging from 0.8 to 14 tons.

Special features:

 Monoblock structure without tie rods = absence break down

 Polyurethane shells = silent and low vibration
 Nitrogen-charged accumulator = no need for recharging
 The piston acts on various bushes inserted inside the
monoblock = in the event of damage, only the damaged
bush needs to be replaced, with minimum service costs
 Continuous motion of piston = immediate start
 The piston is equipped with an improved hydraulic brake
= maximum protection against blank firing
 Central hydraulic house connection = hoses are protected
during excavation process

The light-weight DMS series unique feature is the internal

structure and consisting of a single steel monoblock with absence
of tie rods : SOCOMEC has been the first company ever to introduce this
solution to the market.
The absence of tie rods has allowed SOCOMEC to eliminate one of the main
causes of service together with simplifying service operations. In fact, when
maintenance is required, after removing the accumulator, it is simple to remove
the piston and the guide bushes from the monoblock without extracting the
monoblock itself from the outter, thus allowing the entire operation extremely
easy and quick.
 Presentation of MDO Series
Hydraulic Breakers

The medium-weight MDO series of hydraulic breakers includes seven models from
1200 to 6200 kg of operating weight, capable of satisfying the requirements of clients
with excavator class weight between 15 ton to 90 ton, thus further confirming the
traditional features of all SOCOMEC products: reliability and technical innovation.

Special features:
 Nitrogen-charged accumulator = no need for
recharging
 Improved hydraulic brake connected with the =
maximum protection from blank firing
 Continuous motion of piston = immediate start
 Automatic lubrication system = constant
lubrication and tool longer life
 Stroke chamber preset for pressurization =
fundamental for tunnel and underwater work
 Latest generation pressure line control valve =
constant operating pressure
 Manual stroke variator = maximum performance
on all types of material
 New patented tie rod fixing system = absence of
break down
 Piston and guide bushes removal without
loosening the tie rods = simple and time saving
maintenance
 Unique shock-absorbing rubber upper buffer =
absence of vibrations to the excavator boom
Medium/Heavy-weight MDO range together with the DMS light-weight range share
the unique SOCOMEC feature allowing the removal of the piston and of the bushes
without loosening the tie rods.
This greatly simplifies maintenance and drastically reduces the time required for
service operations.

In 2012, SOCOMEC patented an innovative tie rod fixing system and, together with
the special tie rod design, makes the whole system more elastic and reduces the risk of
damage almost to zero.
 Presentation of RVS Series Ripper
The continuous quest for innovative solutions aimed at solving the issues linked to
demolition and rock excavation has led SOCOMEC to develop a new kind of
attachment: the RVS Vibrating Ripper.

Special features:

 Minimum noise levels

 Very low maintenance costs
 Very few consumable parts
 Underwater operation possible
 Easy to operate
 Continuous vibration tooth =
Immediate start
 Tooth holder made of hardox steel plate
and not of casting
 Possible horizontal application

Today the range includes models RVS

2200, RVS 3300, RVS 4900 and RVS
6000, that can be mounted on hydraulic
excavators from 21 ton to 90 ton weight
class. Made of special anti-wear steel,
thanks to the energy transmitted to the
tooth by the vibrating element, these
Rippers are ideal for the demolition of
medium-low hardness materials (up to a hardness level not greater than 3 Mohs
and mechanical compressive strength lower than 80 MPa, such as gypsum or
limestone, for example). With these materials, the Ripper easily beats the
performance of same class demolition hammers. Its extremely simple structure
and operating system reduce the need for maintenance to a minimum, and the
only consumable part, namely the tip of the tooth, is easily replaceable.

 Operation principle
The Ripper consists of two main parts: an external casing that, via the attachment plate,
is connected to the excavator, and an internal group that contains the vibrating
elements.

The two main parts are interconnected by means of:

- 4 lateral anti-vibration elements, the purpose of which is to allow the vibration

of the internal part while isolating the external part from vibrations;
- 2 front connecting rods, the purpose of which is to transmit to the Ripper the
driving forces coming from the excavator;
- the upper end stop group, made of various materials, the purpose of which is to
limit the excursion between interior and exterior.

A customized valve group protects the hydraulic motor from excessive delivery and
pressure as well as from cavitation.
