Paving Breaker - VK 117S (81 lb)

The VK 117S is the silenced version of the VK 117, technically equivalent to the Chicago Pneumatic CP 117S. It keeps the same 1,200 blows per minute, 165 mm stroke and 35 l/s air consumption, with a muffler for work near occupied buildings. Buyers choose it for demanding breaking where a traditional low frequency machine is preferred to a high speed one.

VK 117S Paving Breaker FAQs

Can the VK 117S replace a CP 117S?

Yes. Vikay manufactures the VK 117S in India as the technical equivalent of the Chicago Pneumatic CP 117S. A 57 mm piston on a 165 mm stroke gives 1,200 blows a minute at 37 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.

Which Vikay paving breaker do I need?

This page is the VK 117S at 37 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 117S?

The VK 117S 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 the compressor has to hold the figure under load, not merely reach it.

Will my existing moil points, chisels and asphalt cutters fit the VK 117S?

The VK 117S 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. Check the shank on the tools already held before ordering.
