Korea’s largest and old-est hydraulic hammer man-ufacturers has establishedits business footprint in theUnited States to supportsales within the UnitedStates and Canada. Butwhile the name of this man-ufacturer may be relativelyunknown, the product like-ly isn’t: Soosan had builtand supplied Stanley’s for-mer MB-EX Seriesmid/large hammers beginin late 1990s.Soosan’s current breaker

product lineup consists ofthe SB compact series, theSB TS-P series and the SQ series. Hereare some of the features and benefits ofeach of these lines:

SBII Compact Series• High power-to-weight ratio• Built-in valve system and accumu-

lator-free design• Two moving parts and minimal

components decrease mainte-nance costs • Light and simple side plate

frame • Maximum hydraulic effi-

ciency which generates lessheat • 10 models ranging from

200-2,000 ft./lb. impact energyclass

SBII TS-P Series• Shock-mounted housing

limits vibrations and reducesoperator fatigue, plus elimi-nates through bolt concerns• Superior gas and percus-

sion design increases hittingpower

• External charge port provides easyaccess for pressure monitoring andnitrogen gas charging• External air valve access eas-

ily connects compressed air for under-water applications• Optional auto-lube is available to

extend durability of critical compo-nents• 12 models ranging from 750

to 12,000 ft./lb. impact energy class• Fits all skid steer loaders, tractor

loader backhoes and mini-excavatorsthrough large excavators up to 55 tons

SQ Series• Anti-blank firing protection

and easy-start reduces operating costsand lowers maintenance expenses• Variable speed and power maxi-mizes production by adjusting thestroke of the piston to controlenergy per blow or blows perminute• Breaker mounted auto-lube is

standard• Swivel hose adapters reduce

hose twisting and increase hosedurability• Anti-dust protection safe-

guards internal components fromairborne particles• 8 models ranging from 3,000

to 15,000 ft./lb. impact energyclass• 9 models ranging from 3,000

to 15,000 ft./lb. impact energyclass and fit all carriers from 15 to90 tons see CONEXPO page 46

Maximus ‘StrikesGold’ With Crushing,Screening Line

Maximus North America is setting the gold standard forthe Mobile Crushing & Screening industry by introducingthe Irish based Maximus Crushing and Screening productline into North America in 2015. This statement proved to betrue and ironic when one of the stars of the DiscoveryChannel’s hit TV show “Gold Rush” noticed the bright redMaximus MXJ-1000 Jaw Crusher at an industry trade showin 2016.Dave Turin, who oversees mining and production for 316

Mining LLC, otherwise known as The Hoffman Team,stopped by the Maximus North America stand as he wasleaving the trade show because the quality, fit and finish ofthe machine caught his attention and he was interested to seewhether there might be any synergies between the 316Mining Team and the Maximus brand.Stu Gamble, president of Maximus North America, and a

few of the MNA dealers struck up a conversation with Turinabout the product line and it was discovered that Maximusdid indeed have a machine in its product line that could fit inthe gold mining operation.The 316 Mining Team’s set up at the time included a trom-

mel screen that could separate material but did not have ahopper which would allow material to be fed into it.Maximus builds a TFC-80 360 degree swivel feed hopperstacker that would have the capability of remotely operatingon a 90 degree angle. This technology would allow TheHoffman Team to feed pay dirt directly into the hopper onany terrain angle, which then would feed directly into thetrommel that the team was using to separate the rocks fromthe fines of the pay dirt.The Maximus TFC-80 not only increased the team’s pro-

duction ability but also was used to return the dredged landback to its original condition after the gold was mined, whichis something that the mining team holds as a top priority.In the world of gold-mining, there are very few things that

are predictable. Adverse weather conditions, rough terrain,the threat of wild animals always very real and present, andthe hurdle of mounting expenses with no guarantee of a payout, all could very well turn away the average miner to giveup their dream of finding real gold. The 316 Mining Team’s

(L-R) are Dave Turin and Darlene and Stu Gamble.
