Rajasthan's Smart Move: MB BF90.3 Crusher Bucket Turns Basalt into GSB On-Site, Slashing Costs and Delays!
In a brilliant strategic move that significantly cut costs, time, and fuel consumption, a road contractor in Rajasthan made a game-changing decision. Instead of hauling excavated basalt or purchasing GSB (Granular Sub Base) from external quarries, they deployed the BF90.3 crusher bucket, mounted on a Hyundai R215 excavator, to crush the rock directly on-site. The result? On-site production of 60mm down GSB, making the operation not just faster and more efficient, but also remarkably more sustainable.

Basalt Transformed into GSB: Right on the Job Site
The primary challenge on this Rajasthan site was managing hard basalt, a dense volcanic rock notoriously difficult to process. Traditional solutions would have involved costly transportation to remote crushing facilities or purchasing GSB from outside vendors. Instead, the contractor equipped their Hyundai R215 excavator with the MB BF90.3—a heavy-duty jaw crusher bucket designed to tackle even the toughest rock types.
With this setup, the team was able to:
-
Crush basalt blocks up to 300mm.
-
Produce uniform 60mm down GSB.
-
Completely eliminate transportation costs.
-
Recycle materials directly at the job site.

Why the MB Crusher BF90.3 is the Go-To Solution
The BF90.3 crusher bucket is a proven performer for excavators in the 21–32-ton class. It attaches with extreme ease and uses the host machine’s hydraulics—no additional power source needed.
Key features include:
-
Output adjustment from 20mm to 140mm.
-
Handles materials like basalt, granite, limestone, and demolition debris.
-
Significantly reduces transportation costs.
-
Perfect for recycling materials directly on-site.
This unit enabled on-site crushing, with just one operator and no secondary machines required. Plus, there was no additional fuel consumption, as the bucket ran entirely on the excavator’s existing systems.

Big Gains in Cost and Sustainability
Using the MB Crusher BF90.3 led to a measurable drop in project costs. Here’s how:
-
No GSB purchase needed.
-
No material transport required.
-
No disposal of excavated rock.
-
Lower diesel use = smaller carbon footprint.
By producing GSB on demand, the team avoided project delays and kept production synced with on-ground needs.
Compact, Mobile, and Extremely Versatile
This one-machine setup gave the contractor full control. No dependency on outside quarries or hauling contractors meant fewer delays and tighter project management.
What this really means is:
- Faster project timelines
- Lower daily operating cost
- Improved logistical control
- Environmental compliance made easy
