Efficient Coal Handling in Indonesia with just one MB Crusher unit
A new machine setup is gaining attention at coal sites across Indonesia. The MB-HDS523 Shaft Screener, mounted on a Hitachi EX302 excavator, is being used to handle coal with a GCV of 3500–4000 GAR — and it's doing the job in a simple, effective way.

The standout feature? With just one scoop, the excavator picks up raw coal, crushes it and loads it directly into the truck bed. There’s no need for a separate crusher or extra loading steps.
This setup brings a number of practical benefits:
1. Saves Money
Since crushing and loading happen in one motion, there’s no need for extra machines or additional operators. This cuts fuel use, reduces labor costs, and lowers maintenance bills — helping site owners keep expenses in check.
2. Simplifies the Work
By doing everything in one place, this system removes the need to move coal back and forth between machines. It keeps the work area clean and reduces the time trucks spend waiting to be loaded.

3. Improves Safety
Fewer machines on-site means less movement and less chance of accidents. Workers can focus on one process without dealing with multiple machines working in tight areas.
4. Lowers Fuel Use
Because the coal is crushed and loaded in the same step, there’s less need for transport and handling, which helps cut down on fuel and emissions.
5. Easy to Adapt
The MB screener works well with different materials, not just coal. Its rotors can be swapped out quickly, so the same machine can handle other types of material if needed.
This setup is especially helpful in remote coal sites or locations with limited space. By combining several tasks into one machine, operators can keep things moving smoothly without bringing in more equipment.
In short, the MB-HDS523 helps coal operations in Indonesia get more done — with less hassle, lower costs, and better safety.
