MB Crusher, a manufacturer of equipment for crushing and recycling materials, has outlined the key the benefits of selecting a crusher bucket as the primary crusher on quarries and the principle elements to take into account when taking this decision
According to MB Crusher, reliable, durable, easy-to-use and safe equipment that can guarantee high productivity are essential for quarries which can really put heavy machinery to the test through the hectic pace of work. Aside from these essential qualities, the company has identified key elements that are a must and that has prompted customers to choose an MB Crusher as the primary crusher for their operations.
Cost effectiveness
For one customer running a quarry in Egypt, a large amount of unused basalt was presenting a challenge as storing the huge piles would be a costly endeavour. To solve this issue, the customer was faced with the options of taking the material to another quarry where there was a large mobile crusher present or bring a mobile plant to quarry.
Both were expensive alternatives and so, instead, an MB Crusher BF120.4 jaw crusher was installed on a Doosan 340 excavator. This was able to crush the stockpile directly in the quarry, allowing it to be reused on site for maintenance work on internal haulage roads.
Versatility
Elsewhere, in Italy, a customer is utilising an MB Crusher jaw crusher as the primary plant to crush the extracted talc to be reused for the production of concrete. The crusher bucket is also used for the preparation of the aggregates for the concrete necessary for the underground cultivation of the mine.
MB Crusher reported that by installing the BF135.8 crusher bucket on a Cat 365 excavator that was present on the quarry, the work became much more flexible as the machine is able to easily reach different areas of the site without needing to transport other vehicles or materials. This has saved significant time and therefore costs, with the adjustment of the jaws to change the outgoing particle size taking less than an hour and completed without the need to go to a workshop.
Flexibility and quality
In India, another example has been provided by a client who was working with basalt. By installing a BF90.3 crusher bucket on a Komatsu PC200 excavator, the customer managed to obtain a final product of excellent quality. This was achieved by adjusting the size of the output material as needed and resulted in an increase in commercial demand.
Such examples from across the world serve to demonstrate the viability of attachments as an alternative. As MB Crusher put forward, installing a new crusher or replacing a fixed system involves significant expensive factors such as long installation, increased maintenance costs and several processing phases. All of these can be mitigated by alternative solutions such as MB Crusher’s crusher buckets, real portable jaw crushers that operate using hydraulic system of machines. Reliable and robust, MB Crusher suggests they are practically the ideal solution for any quarrying need and present a tangible option for operators.
