SSP12 Wire Storage Editorial Review
Product Positioning: Braun SSP12 Wire Storage for Building Demolition
The Braun SSP12 Wire Storage is a demolition wire saw for controlled cutting of reinforced concrete, steel, masonry and other building materials.
Unlike stone wire saws that focus on surface quality, demolition saws emphasize cut-through capability, portability and adaptability to complex work faces.
Key Specs
Main motor/power pack output is Not published, wire speed is Not published, cutting range is Not published, main unit weight is 44kg and control is Not published.
Demolition usually requires variable wire speed to match concrete strength and rebar density, plus enough tensioning force for efficient cut-through. Lighter units suit frequent relocation and confined spaces.
Cutting Performance and Material Compatibility
Key seven-dimension scores: efficiency 7.4, material compatibility 7.1 and wire-break control 6.7.
Whether the SSP12 Wire Storage can handle high-rebar concrete or steel depends on power output and diamond-wire selection. A higher wire-break score indicates more stable long continuous demolition runs.
Who It Suits: Demolition Contractors and Specialty Engineers
The SSP12 Wire Storage suits contractors handling building demolition, bridge and tunnel retrofitting, chimney/foundation cutting and similar projects.
For urban retrofit and interior demolition, light, modular machines have a clear advantage. For large foundations or bridges, higher power and more wire storage are needed.
Four Pre-Purchase Reminders
- Clarify power type and site supply: electric models need stable three-phase power, hydraulic models need a compatible power pack; confirm site conditions.
- Confirm whether it must work with another system: some demolition saws are extension modules for wall saws or drill rigs and cannot run independently.
- Request cutting process parameters: although wire-speed ranges are published, recommended feed rates and tension forces require a process sheet from the distributor.
- Confirm service and spare-part network: demolition equipment wears quickly; guide wheels, wire and seals need fast replacement, so local support matters.
SSP12 Wire Storage Pros & Cons
Pros
- Low-cost upgrade of existing drill rigs to wire-saw capability
- Patented wire-storage system, max. 12m wire, approx. 8m² cutting area
- Kit weighs only 44kg for easy on-site transport
Cons
- Wire-storage/conversion kit only; does not include main machine or power unit
- Requires BRAUN drill rig and electric/hydraulic tool drive

About BRAUN
BRAUN Maschinenfabrik is an Austrian family-owned manufacturer founded in 1848 and headquartered in Vöcklabruck, Upper Austria. The company operates in four fields: hydro steel structures, steel cutting/grinding machines, concrete cutting/drilling machines, and nuclear decommissioning technologies. Its wire saw portfolio (SSP2.0, SSP12, SSP15, SSP15 Hydraulic and wire-storage kits) features a patented wire-storage system and is mainly used for cutting and demolishing concrete, reinforced concrete and masonry structures, sold globally via the Austrian headquarters, USA and China subsidiaries, and distribution partners.
SSP12 Wire Storage Buyer FAQ
The SSP12 Wire Storage is mainly for controlled cutting of reinforced concrete, steel, masonry and brickwork. By adjusting wire speed and diamond-wire type, it can handle members of different density and hardness.
It is not suitable for stone processing or quarrying.
Some demolition models are standalone hosts; others must work with a wall saw, drill rig or power pack. This depends on the specific configuration.
Confirm before purchase whether the SSP12 Wire Storage includes a complete power system or requires an additional power pack/control cabinet.
Electric models are quieter and cheaper to run but need stable power, suiting indoor urban demolition. Hydraulic models are more powerful for large sections and off-grid sites.
Choose based on site power supply, section size and noise restrictions.
Confined-space suitability depends on main unit weight, dimensions and modularity. Lightweight, split-transport designs are better for elevator shafts, door/window openings and other restricted areas.
Request dimensions and site-layout proposals from the distributor.
In demolition, diamond wire, guide wheels and seals wear quickly. High rebar density in reinforced concrete demands higher wire speed and tension, accelerating wire wear.
Ask the manufacturer for wire-life estimates and consumable lists for typical demolition scenarios.
Demolition wire-saw work requires a safety zone, operators at a safe distance, remote or extended control, and regular inspection of wire, tensioning and guards.
Confirm structural stability before cutting to avoid sudden collapse or flying debris.
SSP12 Wire Storage Buying Recommendation
The Braun SSP12 Wire Storage is a well-positioned German demolition wire saw with an overall rating of 6.9/10.
It suits Converts existing BRAUN drill rigs into wire-saw systems for concrete, reinforced concrete and masonry demolition scenarios, with brand backing and structural maturity as key strengths. However, some core specifications are not fully published, so request a full datasheet from an authorized Braun distributor and confirm service coverage, spare-part supply and site-installation conditions. If budget is tight or higher automation is required, evaluate comparable domestic models and CNC options side by side.
