The Atlas Copco RTEX 25 is a 40 lb-class pneumatic paving breaker that gets its work done on just 37-40 CFM at 90 psi a low air appetite that lets smaller compressors run a full-size breaker. Delivering 816-870 BPM depending on chuck, the 55 lb tool handles concrete slab and pavement demolition, road repair, asphalt removal, frozen-ground breaking and utility trenching, with a vibration-reduced handle measured at 4.8-5.0 m/s2.

Three chucks 1 x 4-1/4 in., 1-1/8 x 6 in. and 1-1/4 x 6 in. hex fit whatever steel your crew stocks. Because the RTEX 25 sips air, pairing it with a compact machine from the gas-driven air compressor range is realistic where conventional breakers demand more; it shares the Atlas Copco pneumatic breaker pedigree with the TEX series, and every class we stock is collected in the paving breaker category.

RTEX 25 FAQ

What size compressor will run the RTEX 25?
Only 3740 CFM at 90 psi depending on chuck roughly half to two-thirds of what conventional breakers in its class demand, so a compact portable compressor keeps it at full output.

What steel does it take?
Three chuck options cover the common inventories: 1 x 4-1/4 in., 1-1/8 x 6 in. or 1-1/4 x 6 in. hex shank, running standard paving-breaker points and chisels in the matching shank.

Can a crew run it all shift?
The vibration-reduced handle measures 4.85.0 m/s hand-arm vibration, engineered to keep exposure within OSHA limits on full-shift breaking work.

Is a 40 lb class breaker enough, or do I need a 6090 lb tool?
At 816870 BPM the RTEX 25 handles slab, sidewalk, asphalt and frozen-ground work; for thick reinforced concrete a heavier class earns its weight the paving breaker buyer’s guide walks the trade-off.
