MB Crusher has rolled out the fourth generation of its smallest model of crusher buckets, the BF60.1, capable of crushing basalt while fitted to machines with operational weights of as low as eight tonnes.
The BF60.1’s structural layout has been restyled to offer greater agility and increased speed during crushing operations, while parts subject to the most stress have been reinforced.
MB has also installed a centralised greasing system to simplify and speed up onsite maintenance operations.
Diego Azzolin, head of design and production at MB, said: “All our products undergo continuous testing and experimentation in order to improve them and render them more efficient in the various types of work sites that our clients deal with every day.”
One end user, the owner of the German company Schäuble Hoch- und Tiefbau, commented: “After having purchased a BF60.1 crusher bucket in September 2016, something finally changed. I began to think freely about my business, free to programme my work and earn more.
“We mainly deal with materials from demolitions, which we then re-use for other kinds of work, such as filling excavations or for road beds. However, I would never have imagined that such a small bucket applied to my 12-tonne Komatsu PC118 excavator would also allow for such highly efficient crushing of basalt.”
The BF60.1’s ability to recycle construction materials on site reduces contractors’ reliance on specialised equipment rental and third-party operators, according to MB.
Schäuble Hoch- und Tiefbau’s owner added: “I was already aware of the advantages of MB in terms of cost reduction. Another advantage resulting from the possibility to recycle materials on-site without having to dispose of them in a dump is the opportunity of selling the same materials as new aggregates for the building industry.
“I am very satisfied with the reliability and productivity of this piece of equipment, just as I am satisfied with the after-sales service.”
