Breaker Technology (BTI), the world-leading manufacturer of rockbreaking technology, and Creighton Rock Drill Ltd., an industry-leading Eastern Ontario distributor of aggregate and mining equipment, announce their distribution partnership for BTI mining equipment in Ontario. BTI's move to partner with Creighton Rock Drill Ltd. comes in an effort as both companies strive to improve their customer service and support in the mining industry.

Under the terms of the agreement, Creighton Rock Drill will sell capital equipment and parts, as well as service BTI underground mining vehicles, rockbreaker systems, and hydraulic breaker attachments from their location in Lively, Ontario.

"After 18 years of working with our good friends at BTI, having the chance to get more involved with them and their mining products was a great opportunity for us," says Al Creighton, Senior Vice President of Creighton Rock Drill (CRD). "We've had a location in Lively now for over three years and are looking to grow our team with people that can understand our key values of service first as a way to promote sales. We will do that through attention to detail, local parts stocks for fast turnarounds on order fulfillment and by listening to our customers. It is important to us to build the BTI and CRD brands together as a symbol of quality and reliability in the mining sector. "

Creighton will be promoting BTI's line of underground equipment including their extensive range of rockbreaker systems. BTI's MRHLP model Rockbreaker System is a low-profile design for the underground mining environment. Additionally, BTI's PB Series Rockbreaker Systems offers rockbreaking capabilities directly at the grizzly ore pass. All systems offer options for remote rockbreaker operation with BTI's Breaker Intel system. Creighton Rock Drill will also be promoting BTI's mining vehicles including its latest mechanical underground scaler, ScaleBOSS 3D/ 3DE, the Mine Runner Underground Utility Vehicle, RMS Scaler, Vibratory Pick Scaler and Hammer Feed Scaler.

"Creighton Rock Drill has been our distributor for Construction and Aggregate Equipment for the past 18 years," says Terry McKague, BTI Director of Sales. "During this time, we have seen how they provide outstanding customer support. They engage with their customers, and we appreciate this kind of relationship. We are looking forward to extending our product offering as Creighton expands into the Mining Markets in Ontario Canada. "

Breaker Technology Inc. (BTI) received the second-class prize in China Gold Association's 2017 Science and Technology award for its contribution to improving underground productivity and safety, through its latest version of the Breaker Intel System at Shandong Gold's Xincheng Gold Mine.

"We appreciate being recognized for our contribution toward improving the safety and productivity at our customer's operation," says BTI President Don Sissons.

BTI's Breaker Intel System is a multi-faceted control system that maximizes rockbreaking operations and creates a safer, more secure working environment while easily connecting to the mine's existing process control system. The system not only includes long distance controls but also offers an abundance of other features such as force and speed control, automated movements, collision avoidance, monitoring and diagnostics and the ability to operate multiple rockbreaker stations with a single remote. 

The Shear Eagle II from Breaker Technology will be on display at the largest Scrap and recycle show in North America, Institute of Scrap & Recycling Industries (ISRI) trade show, from April 16-19, 2018 at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.

When it comes to maintaining your hydraulic rockbreaker, absolutely the most important thing you can implement into your routine is lubricating the tool. This preventative maintenance routine can you save you time and money.

As part of Breaker Technology’s initiative to better serve its worldwide markets, BTI hired Filipe Bispo from Montreal to manage its French and Portuguese speaking territories.

Filipe has a License in Engineering Automotive (B.A.) from the Aeronautic and Automotive Mechanic Institute in France and 16 years of International Sales experience including heavy equipment sales. He speaks three languages, English, French and Portuguese.
