Construction job sites often present several challenges. One of those typically is determining what to do with unusable rocks and chunks of concrete and asphalt. The MB-S18 S3 crushing and screening attachment from MB Crusher America tackles that problem head-on.
“When we talk about being more efficient and productive, what we are doing is eliminating traditional steps in the site preparation process for contractors,” says Max Ravazzolo, CEO of MB Crusher America. “How great would it be to crush and screen material in one step, and be able to use the material immediately on site? That’s where we come in.”
Designed for large excavators between 44,000 and 77,200 pounds, the MB-S18 S3 can be used for screening various kinds of material on both pre- and post-crushing jobs. The screening bucket can reduce crushing time up to 60 percent by screening the material before crushing. It also allows for the screening of natural material (quarry residue, dry soil, and river stone) of any kind and makes it convenient for on-site processing. When contractors can crush and screen on site, they produce reusable material for base or fill, optimize their productivity on the job, and eliminate the need to transport material to a third-party processing facility and buy back processed material.
“When customers ask us about using our screens, we tell them you can get the job done with one scoop and one machine, rather than touching the material several times before it is ready to be used,” Ravazzolo says. “It’s simple and quick.”
The screening bucket can be equipped with a magnet and/or a dust suppression kit. The magnet allows for the separation of iron and the dust suppression kit allows the attachment to be used in inhabited centers. MB Crusher America screening buckets are equipped with baskets formed by interchangeable modular panels that are available with holes
of different sizes based on requirements.
MB Crusher America offers a range of trommel screening attachments to sift through mixed material and clean superficial powder from natural stones. These attachments are design to work with a range of excavators, skid loaders, loaders, and backhoes, regardless of brand. MB Crusher America also manufactures jaw crushing attachments that will crush down reinforced and nonreinforced concrete, natural stone and asphalt, railway sleepers, and hollow core walls.
“We have a customer who works in the excavation/grading industry. He purchased one of our larger crushers to eliminate transportation and buyback costs. Later in the year, he was subcontracted for a project to remove 5-inch concrete from an old skating rink,” Ravazzolo says. “Our crusher saved the contractor’s company 30 percent!”
