New Bucket Crusher Attachments from Atlas Copco

Atlas Copco Construction Equipment introduced new bucket crusher attachments that offer higher output and greater reliability than previous models. The new models, BC 2500 and BC 3700, process about 80 percent more material due to their hydraulic drive system.

“The new bucket crushers allow contractors to increase the versatility of carriers, especially on demolition, recycling and road construction applications,” said Rich Elliott, Atlas Copco product manager, hydraulic attachments. “The powerful drive systems and high reliability make them an ideal alternative to mobile jaw crushers for cramped worksites. Plus, they can process a wide range of materials, including aggregate, asphalt and concrete.” 

The attachments feature powerful components that allow carrier operators to crush as much as 110 tons of material per hour. The drive system — two hydraulic motors and a timing belt — generates the high torque needed for powering the crushing jaw. The attachments also feature a reverse function to easily remove any blockage by pushing material back through the inlet.

Atlas Copco’s internally-mounted drive system eliminates protruding components to minimize the risk of dust entering the hydraulic system and to protect key components from flying debris. Operators can control the diameter of the crushed materials by adjusting the jaw outlet without any special tools. This keeps set-up times to a minimum and allows operators to create varying material sizes.
