Why choose the MB Crusher Bucket?

13-06-2024

When it comes to crushing and/or volumetric material reduction work on the construction site, the choice of equipment can make a big difference in efficiency, cost, and versatility. Among these, one of the most beneficial choices is to install an MB Crusher Bucket to the heavy equipment already on site.
But why opt for an MB Crusher Bucket, even if you already own a classic crusher/mobile or fixed plant?
Here are some key reasons that can help guide your decision.

1. EASE OF TRANSPORTATION

MB's Crusher Buckets are extremely versatile and can be installed on different types of construction equipment, such as excavators, loaders and backhoes. This flexibility allows the equipment to be used in a variety of projects and applications, from construction sites and demolition sites, to mining sites.

In addition, MB Crusher Buckets are:

  • Compact and easy to use, especially useful on small construction sites or in urban areas where space is limited
  • Does not require complex installation
  • Can be transported along with heavy equipment. So, they do not need extra or exceptional transport. Even in remote areas where roads often do not exist

Such is the case with a construction site on an island. The island is very rocky, making it almost impossible to get a mobile crusher on site. The ideal solution was to use the BF70.2 Crusher Bucket with the existing excavator. The client was able to crush the material directly on site and reuse it for different projects.  Since it was an island, the BF70.2 Crusher Bucket allowed the client to process the material on site, instead of having to transport materials to mainland treatment plants, which would have taken a lot of time and money.

Do you have hard-to-reach construction sites? Remote areas or city centers that are difficult to access? Discover the solution that's right for you.

 

2. REDUCING COSTS AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

Using an MB Crusher Bucket can result in significant cost savings on the construction site

  • The initial investment is often less than purchasing a traditional crusher
  • Crusher Buckets require little maintenance that can be done by a single operator
  • Can be operated with the same heavy equipment already on site, so no additional machines are needed to feed the system
  • You can process the material directly on the construction site without the need for additional transportation to the recycling center
     

 

The Crusher Bucket requires only one operator; thus, reducing labor costs.Using MB jaw crushers can also help reduce the environmental impact on construction sites. By crushing materials directly on site, the need to transport waste to landfills is reduced, and crushed materials can be reused for new construction or land reclamation. This method promotes recycling and sustainability in the construction industry. For example, the BF90.3 Crusher Bucket equipped with the 24-Volt Iron Separator, was used for separating iron reinforcement and crushing concrete on site. The material from the demolition of this old factory was 100 percent reused for the construction of the new commercial complex near a major stadium.

3. PRODUCTIVITY AND DESIGN

Crusher Buckets can crush a wide range of materials, including concrete, asphalt, natural stone, demolition waste, piles and sleepers directly on site. Therefore, eliminating the need to transport materials to a crushing plant or landfill, reducing transportation time and costs and increasing overall project productivity.

In addition, the unique design of the MB Crusher Bucket’s mouth allows for easy and safe recovery of sleepers, vineyard poles, light poles, and concrete pipes from the comfort of the heavy equipment.

Any iron reinforcement does not create damage to the Crusher Bucket, so there are no problems with downtime and loss of money, as there might be with a conventional crusher, where iron can damage the conveyor belt. The iron comes out during crushing, then can be collected and heaped with the Iron Separator, which is installed directly on the MB unit.

Concrete poles, such as old railway sleepers or light poles, are no longer just waste that needs to be disposed of; they become material that can be reused for new applications or resold. Our customer had 1,000 railroad sleepers that were crushed with a BF90.3, without the need for any replacement.  The accuracy of the size of the output material also allowed the customer to prepare and sort the material into homogeneous pieces, giving new life to a material that was previously considered only waste.

But even those who have a stationary crushing plant can benefit from using the Crusher Bucket. Here's how:

  • Savings in transportation costs; the crusher bucket is transported directly with the excavator, so no special handling is needed
  • Reduced fuel consumption: you use only what you need for the excavator
  • No need to buy new material
  • Ability to crush any material including piles, columns and concrete sleepers. In a stationary plant, rebar could damage the conveyor belt and cause downtime.
