High throughput and long wear life are claimed by 161 Atlas Copco for its latest bucket crusher attachments. The new BC 2500 and BC 3700 are said to offer higher output and better reliability than previous models.
The new units can process up to 80% more material than earlier designs due to new hydraulic drives. The BC 2500 is suited to carriers weighing from 24-33tonnes while the larger BC 3700 can be fitted to excavators weighing from 30-42tonnes.
The firm claims that the new bucket crushers allow contractors to increase the versatility of carriers on demolition, recycling and road construction applications. The units are said to benefit from powerful drive systems and high reliability and offer contractors an alternative to the use of mobile jaw crushers for cramped worksites. The units are also versatile as they can process a wide range of materials such as aggregates, asphalt and concrete, according to the firm.
High power means that operators can crush up to 110tonnes of material/hour. The drive system features two hydraulic motors and a timing belt and this design is said to deliver the high torque needed to power the jaw. The attachments also feature a reverse function, allowing a user to safely remove any blockage by pushing material back through the inlet.
Crushing material onsite allows contractors to save on transportation costs to a landfill or processing centre, as they can fit more material into each truck load. Contractors can also reuse crushed material onsite as backfill, which reduces the costs associated with hauling in material.
The firm says that the attachments have been designed to offer high reliability and maximum uptime in tough worksite conditions. The internally mounted drive system eliminates protruding components and minimises the risk of dust entering the hydraulic system, while protecting key components from flying debris. In addition, operators can control the diameter of the crushed materials by adjusting the jaw outlet without the need to use special tools. This keeps set-up times to a minimum and allows operators to create varying material sizes.
