CRUSHER BUCKET ATTACHMENTS
Crusher bucket attachments are designed to transform an excavator into a mobile crushing machine. These buckets are mounted directly onto the arm of an excavator and used to crush and recycle a variety of materials, including concrete, brick, asphalt, and natural stone. Their versatility and efficiency have made them popular across construction, demolition, quarrying, and mining industries.
At the core, a crusher bucket operates by using powerful hydraulic systems to compress and crush materials between two jaws—one fixed and one moving. As the excavator’s boom positions the bucket over a pile of rubble or debris, the bucket breaks it down into smaller, reusable pieces. This on-site crushing capability offers several advantages, especially in jobs where space is limited or transport of materials is costly.
One of the biggest benefits of crusher buckets is cost-efficiency. By crushing materials on-site, contractors can reduce the need to purchase new aggregate or transport waste to external recycling facilities. This not only cuts disposal fees but also lowers fuel costs and reduces project timelines. The material crushed can often be reused immediately as backfill, road base, or construction fill, eliminating delays and reducing environmental impact.
Italdem GF-45 Crusher Bucket
The GF-45 crusher bucket is a jaw crusher which can be mounted on excavators from 28 to 40 tonnes, being connected to the hydraulic hammer line. An eccentric shaft is moved by a flywheel which is connected by several belts to a pulley of the hydraulic motor. The eccentric shaft moves the mobile jaw. Rocks with hardness up to 500 kg/cm2 and with a maximum size of 700 x 500 mm can be crushed to size varying from approximately 30 to 150mm.
