New Prodem PCB Crusher Bucket
BPH Attachments is expanding its Prodem hydraulic attachments portfolio in the UK with the addition of a new crusher bucket. Designed to crush and convert waste material including brick, concrete, rock and wood into reusable hardcore or infill, the Prodem PCB Crusher Bucket will be available to hire or purchase from BPH Attachments from Thursday January 9th 2020.
Industry users have estimated the attachment, which features a patented auto-reverse crushing drum, can increase productivity to anything between 34-45 ton per hour on site by reducing operator input and increasing utilisation of site machinery. It also has intuitive jaw adjustment, high displacement radial piston hydraulic motors, wear resistant teeth, and easy forward-facing or reverse-facing loading.
The attachment can be utilised to reduce the volume of a variety of materials on construction or demolition sites, recycling, excavations, pipelines and road works, and in quarries. As the crusher bucket can be fitted to excavators already working on site, it negates the need for additional machinery, and also saves cost by cutting down on transport requirements, as materials can either be reused on site or the bulk will be reduced.
Suitable for 8 to 55 ton excavators including skidsteer and backhoe loaders, the Prodem PCB Crusher Bucket has a loading capacity of 0.4m3 to 1.8m3, requires oil flow of 80 to 550L per minute, and crushes up to 70m3 per hour (PCB400).
