what is crusher plant?

a revolutionary new product that combines the flexibility of an excavator with the latest crushing technology, all in the form of one heavy duty attachment.

a lean, mean, brute of a machine specifically designed to simplify crushing, recycling and screening!

crusher plant is a loader, hopper, feeder, crusher, and conveyor, all in one!

crusher plant digs, crushes and stockpiles all in one swoop!

one man one machine does it all! for many projects, crusher plant will eliminate the need for a complex and costly multiple component crushing spread.

how does crusher plant work?

crusher plant replaces the excavator’s bucket. operate the excavator as you normally would using crusher plant as a bucket. once material to be crushed is scooped in, curl the bucket upward and swing the excavator arm to the stockpile area. crusher plant starts by pressing a foot pedal. the provided joystick allows you to regulate the rate of feed. crushed material will discharge out the bottom. it’s that easy!! the dust suppression system comes on automatically when it senses crusher plant is ready to crush. once empty, close feeder, shut off crusher plant and start over.

the built in tramp iron relief system allows un-crushable material to pass freely. in the case of a jam up, simply turn crusher plant upside down until the piece falls out. sounds easy? it is!

when crusher plant is not required, simply remove crusher plant and replace it with a regular bucket attachment or other attachment.

innovative features – awesome capabilities

an excavator operator has full control over crushing plant feed by using its metering system. all crushing is done in a controlled environment using the full power of an excavator to maximize efficiency and product sizing. crusher plant handles chunks and slabs of recycle material, demolition debris, and various types of stone.

for example: within the guideline size limitations, the following material can be processed: concrete, concrete with re-bar, asphalt, brick, cinder block, stone, rubble, demolition debris, bottom ash, coal, slag, and glass.

crusher plant is highly adaptable and versatile, and it can be installed on most excavators. crusher plant comes in various sizes to match your excavator. crushing plant feed opening and recommended feed size rivals that of many portable and mobile crushing plants at a fraction of the price.

crusher plant also works well in combination setups!

for example, it is an unbeatable combination when used in conjunction with a screening plant. other attachments that prepare (crunch) oversize material and finish (screen) material also work well before or after crusher plant to compliment its incredible capabilities.

crusher plant is environmentally friendly!

one diesel, one machine means less fuel consumed and exhausted. recycling material that would otherwise be dumped at a landfill not only makes sense, it is the most cost effective solution. crusher plant also comes standard with its own dust suppression system to reduce dust discharge. guard panels for the excavator are supplied to protect the windows and the operator.

how do the costs of operating crusher plant compare with other crushing systems?

the “less is more” principle applies to crusher plant. less parts = less expense! the design of other crushing systems is complex. these crushing systems require multiple components in order to operate. for instance, a hopper, feeder, auxiliary power, conveyors and more are required. not with crusher plant! the beauty of crusher plant is that, unlike other systems, crusher plant combines these features into one machine, making crusher plant extremely efficient. since crusher plant is an attachment, it does not require a loader to feed material in, and it does not require a conveyor or loader to stock pile. thus, the simplicity of crusher plant makes it significantly less expensive to operate and maintain and its rugged design provides for durability and longevity.

what about maintenance and parts?

ground based. all of the crusher plant can be accessed from the ground. crushing plant design is based on simplicity and accessibility of parts. most portable crushing systems require ladders and cranes to service and access internal parts. therefore, more time is spent trying to service, access and maintain portable crushing systems. crushing plant simplicity of design translates into easier maintenance and less parts. less parts = less potential problems = less cost. most crushers require several hours, even days to replace simple wear parts, not crusher plant! less maintenance time means more run time. also, crusher plant’s modular design allows it to be disassembled in large pieces allowing the moving parts to have greater exposure. modular means it is not cast on one piece, but rather several larger pieces. if the machine is damaged or wears in one area, simple replacement of a component can be done rather than replacing the entire frame. crusher plant utilizes similar material for its wear parts as that of other industry standard crushers. this proven material ensures maximum life with the least expense.

finished product:

crusher plant produces a beautiful cubical product and is fully adjustable to size material down to inches. for example, crusher plant is capable of crushing concrete slabs down to 11/2″ minus base product and also makes a wonderful decorative stone from brick. the applications and products it produces are numerous.
