Heavy series Screener Crushers is 80 kW. The Allu Heavy
Series functions well for crushing light to medium heavy
demolition debris.
In addition Allu has the stronger Monster Series suitable
for 22–40t excavators and 13–26t wheel loaders. The maximum
driving output of Monster series Screener Crushers is
140 kW. The features also include double power transmission
and two heavy-duty engines. The range can take on heavier
demolition debris then the Heavy Series.

MB first with the Bucket Crusher
Another manufacturer that has proven to be a world-class
supplier of crushing buckets for heavy use in demolition
and recycling applications is the Italian company Meccanica
Breganzese. MB has specialised in construction and sales
of jaw-action bucket crushers and manufactures four basic
models. These are BF 60.1, the smallest in the range, suitable
for excavators in the 8-14t class, BF 70.2 for excavators from
14-20t, BF 90.3 for excavators from 20-28t, and the largest
model, BF 120.4, for excavators weighing more than 28t.
According to MB they produced the world’s very first bucket
crusher. By using an MB crusher the crushed material can be
recycled directly on site resulting in a significant reduction
of costs. The equipment is versatile and all that is needed is
a standard excavator in order to work efficiently.
The benefits with the MB crushers are the facility to
crush any type of material insitu and in any type of situation,
with a significant reduction of operating costs. Thanks
to their production capacity, MB bucket crushers can be
utilised in small, medium-sized and large worksites, thus
dispensing with both plant hire and transport costs. The
bucket crushing solution eliminates the problem of waste
disposal. Product output can be received in the required size
just like a standard crusher.
MB’s models
The smallest BF60.1 in the range weighs 1.5t and is recommended
for excavators in the 8-12t class. Crusher jaw
opening is 600 x 450 mm and bucket capacity is 0.5m 3 . The
material size is adjustable between 20 and 100mm, while
average hourly production is between 9.1 and 19.8 m3,
depending on the required product size.
The second smallest model, BF 70.2, weighs 2.25t and
is recommended for excavators weighing between 14 and
20t. Crusher jaw opening is 700 x 550 mm and bucket
capacity is 0.6m 3 . The output size is adjustable between
20 and 120mm, with average hourly output of between
12 and 30m 3 , depending on the required product size.
The first bucket crusher to be manufactured and
marketed was the Bf 90.3 weighing 3.5t and recommended
for excavators of 20-28t. Crusher jaw opening
is 900 x 450mm and bucket capacity is 0.75m 3 . The
output size is adjustable from 20 to 120mm, with average
hourly output of between 18 and 40m 3 , depending on
the required product size.
The largest bucket in the range is BF 120.4. It weighs
4.9t and recommended for excavators from 28t. Crusher
jaw opening is 1200 x 450mm and bucket capacity is 1m 3 .
The output size is adjustable between 20 and 120mm
with average hourly output between 25 and 50m 3 , depending
on the required product size.
MB has also an iron separator system that was
unveiled at the end of 2007 at the SAIE trade fair in
Bologna. Available for all MB bucket crusher models,
this device is composed of a 250kg magnet, a magnet
support, and an installation kit. The device is easy to
install on the bucket and allows the separation of ferrous
materials from inert material to be crushed.

VTN Europe - Three different series
The Italian manufacturer VTN Europe is manufacturing
three series of crushing and screening equipment, the SB, FB
and SR series. The SB Series is commonly used for screening
demolition material and quarry residues. The material
is screened using the innovative vibrating and alternating
movement of the screens fitted longitudinally inside the
bucket. Thanks to the vast range of screen sizes available
and their interchangeability, the same model of bucket can
be used to screen materials of different sizes.
The heavier FB series is a full size crushing bucket,
which has been designed and built to meet the increasing
necessity for immediate on-site recycling and reuse of waste
material deriving from construction and demolition work.
The high performance levels of the FB crushing bucket,
available in two models, make it the ideal solution, not
only for small and medium-sized construction sites with
limited amounts of waste material, but also for extremely
demanding work conditions, such as quarries. It is made
entirely of Hardox 400 and equipped with a fixed and a
moving jaw. The adjustment of the moving jaw allows the
size of the crushed material to be adapted to the different
operating needs.
VTN also produce a rotary screening bucket called SR.
The SR series is made in five models for use on excavators
with capacities ranging from 7-35t and has widespread application
in screening natural material, such as river beds,
quarry residues, sand and dry soil, as well as all situations
where fine screening is required.

The CB-line from Simex
Simex has expanded its operations into producing crushing
buckets, which were shown for the first time at the exhibition
SAIE in 2006. The new Simex CB line of crushing
buckets, contain nine different models in sizes from 1.4 to
2.4m in width, bucket weights from 800 to 3500kg and
crushing sizes of the material from 10 to 80mm. They are
suitable for use on wheel loaders and skid steers. What makes
the Simex crushing buckets different from other brands
is the rotating function instead of jaw crushing. As in all
other Simex products the main details and the functions are
patented. The body of the teeth in the rotating crushing
unit is made of Hardox.
