Mini crushers vs large scale crushersThere has been a viewthat crushing concreteis only for large-scalestationary crushers.Mini crusher manufacturerRed Rhinoclaim that yet neverhas that been furtherfrom the truth thannow. “Crushing concreteon site with amini crusher makessound financial sense.Mini crushers canget into the smallestof places and crushthe concrete exactlywhere it’s needed. Theportability of the RedRhino mini crushermeans that a 10tpayload lorry can nowtransport the crusherfrom site to site,” saysJason Purllant at RedRhino.58 PDi • Issue 2 • May - June 2011Red Rhino mini crushers can work in smaller spaces than atraditional large-scale crusher, yet still achieve up to 45t/h.The Red Rhino mini crushers as their name suggests, arestrong, tough, and capable of crushing even the hardestrubble. Red Rhino owners have recognized that purchasingand maintaining a mini crusher can really save them money.The running costs of a mini crusher are in the £100’s not£1000’s per year. This is now a genuine alternative to atraditional larger crusher.Opportunities for aRed Rhino Mini crusherThe construction and demolition industry currently produces120 million tonnes of waste every year. Around 20million tonnes of this waste ends up in landfill with no reuseand no intrinsic value. The UK is spending £4bn to dumpwaste in a landfill site.In terms of sales, Red Rhino sales and marketing managerJason Purllant reports that the increasing pressure torecycle demolition waste in the most cost efficient way hasled to sales volumes rapidly increasing. Waste transfer stationsare also becoming increasingly aware that there reallyis a genuine alternative to large scale crushing. This rubblereally does have a value. Why are we dumping it?Red Rhino 7000 series in DemolitionRed Rhino products work on a very simple action that callsfor two jaws, set in a vee. Material entering the top becomesprogressively crushed as it slips down into the ‘V’ until theyare small enough to fall through the gap at the bottom. Thesize of the finished material is governed by the width of thejaws. Output can vary from 10mm to 140mm dependingon the settings of the hydraulically adjustable jaws. The RedRhino 7000 series offers a fully wireless control system. Thisallows operators to be clear of the machine or alternativelyto operate the crusher from the comfort of their own excavatorcab. Operating machinery from a safe distance is soimportant on large-scale demolition sites.“Our 7000 series crusher represents a genuine alternativeto it’s a bigger brother but at a fraction of the costs.The little brother however is far more portable weighing inat just 10t and an overall length of 6.7m and 2.2m wide.With a 700mm x 400mm jaw size this crusher can be sat inthe smallest of gaps and crush even the largest rubble. Therecession is biting and every company should consider howit disposes of its rubble and the costs associated with thisoperation,” says Jason.The Future“The use of smaller crushers in the demolition industry isset to grow as people realize that big isn’t always better. Minicrushers like the 7000 series will provide cheaper owning andoperator costs compared to the more traditional large-scalecrusher,” says Jason.www.redrhinocrushers.com
