VK 117 Paving Breaker-80lbs
VK 117 Paving Breaker-80lbs is built by Vikay Mining Equipments in India and is technically equivalent to the CP 117. It is used for a variety of construction and plant maintenance applications such as breaking heavy concrete, reinforced concrete, frozen ground, macadam, boulders and pavement. Spare parts for this machine are supplied to original specification. Ask for pricing and delivery.
Paving Breaker VK 117 (80 lb)
The VK 117 is a 36 kg paving breaker, technically equivalent to the Chicago Pneumatic CP 117. It is the conventional heavy breaker in the range: a low blow frequency of 1,200 blows per minute and a long 165 mm piston stroke put high energy into each blow while holding air consumption to 35 l/s. Drop forged alloy steel body parts, a built in automatic oiler and a spring type retainer suit it to sustained breaking of asphalt, rock outcrop and hard clay.

VK 117 Paving Breaker FAQs
Can the VK 117 replace a CP 117?
Yes, that is the duty it is made for: the VK 117 is technically equivalent to the Chicago Pneumatic CP 117. A 57 mm piston on a 165 mm stroke gives 1,200 blows a minute at 36 kg on 35 l/s of air at 6 bar. It takes the same 32 x 160 mm shank, so moil points, chisels and asphalt cutters already on site will fit.
Will Vikay parts fit my CP 117?
Yes. Vikay manufactures the VK 117, which is technically equivalent to the Chicago Pneumatic CP 117, and the replacement parts alongside it. The same parts serve both, so a machine already in service can be kept running on them. The listing, with part numbers and the assemblies they belong to, is on the CP 117 Chicago Pneumatic Paving Breaker Parts page.
Which Vikay paving breaker do I need?
This page is the VK 117 at 36 kg, at the heavy end of the range. Vikay manufactures breakers from 13.5 kg to 42 kg and the weight is the job: 13.5 kg for light construction and plant maintenance, 20 to 30 kg for general breaking, asphalt and pavement, 36 kg and above for reinforced concrete, frozen ground and thick pavement. The lightest machine that will do the work is usually the right one, because a heavier breaker breaks faster but tires the operator sooner. Silenced versions are manufactured alongside most models where noise is regulated.

Will my compressor run the VK 117?
The VK 117 needs 35 l/s at 6 bar (74 cfm at 87 psi), delivered continuously. The inlet is 19 mm, so run at least that hose bore: anything narrower throttles the machine before the compressor does. At 1,200 blows a minute the draw is constant rather than intermittent, so allow headroom for hose length and for worn couplings.
Will my existing moil points, chisels and asphalt cutters fit the VK 117?
The VK 117 takes a 32 x 160 mm shank (1¼" x 6¼"), with 28 x 160 mm available as an option, so any moil point cut to that shank fits, whatever machine it came off. If the shank does not match, the tools are the cheaper thing to change.
