VK 1230S Paving Breaker-66lb

Paving Breaker – VK 1230S ( 66 lb )

The VK 1230S is the silenced VK 1230, technically equivalent to the Chicago Pneumatic CP 1230S. It delivers 1,300 blows per minute on 30 l/s of air with a 140 mm piston stroke, muffled for work in towns and inside structures. Alloy steel forgings, a four bolt back head and an integral oiler carry over unchanged from the standard model.

Features 

• Alloy steel forgings – for excellent durability 

• Four-bolt back head – withstands rugged use 

• Integral oiler – provides continuous lubrication 

• Reversible piston – reduces maintenance cost 

• Air inlet swivel – for easy manoeuvrability 

• In addition to the standard units, there are also silence versions (S models)* and versions with extra vibration dampening (SVR models)*.

VK 1230S Paving Breaker FAQs

Can the VK 1230S replace a CP 1230S?

Yes. The VK 1230S is Vikay's technical equivalent of the Chicago Pneumatic CP 1230S, made in India. A 60.3 mm piston on a 140 mm stroke gives 1,300 blows a minute at 30 kg on 30 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 1230S at 30 kg, in the middle 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 1230S?

The VK 1230S needs 30 l/s at 6 bar (64 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 1,300 blows a minute the draw is constant rather than intermittent, so a compressor shared with a second machine has to be sized for both.

Will my existing moil points, chisels and asphalt cutters fit the VK 1230S?

The VK 1230S 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. Order tools against the shank, not against the machine.
