BAV Crusher Buckets

No more waiting for skips or tipper trucks to take rubble off site. No more waiting for crushed aggregates to be delivered to site. No need for mobile or mini crushers. Recycle small volumes, on site, on demand.

Designed, tested and manufactured by us in Great Britain, the BAV CB range of Crusher Buckets offer an intermediate processing option, between the primary demolition tools, like the BAV Alligator Crusher attachments and large stand-alone, recycling machines like tracked, mobile crushers.

Features:

• Removable grids (on CB5 and upwards) which enable two grades of output to be achieved; fine grade 0-50mm or coarse grade 0-100mm for faster processing speed.
  
• Powerful hydraulic jaw action is capable of crushing the hardest rock and concrete. On CB5 models and above, this is a twin-ram system.
• Replaceable tungsten carbide teeth give aggressive penetration and are also quick, cheap and simple to change.
• Hardened steel top-hat style bushings at the main jaw pivot, in both jaw and chassis fabrications, for long service life.
• Hardox® 450 construction for high wear resistance and yield strength.
• Uses standard hydraulic circuit at machine pressure and flow – no adjustment required. See below for more details.

Advantages:

Efficiency
Using an excavator mounted crushing bucket or attachments has a number of advantages over using a mobile mini crusher or jaw crusher.

• Only need one machine
• Less space required on site
• Smaller transport
• Lower fuel consumption
• Labour – no need for costly and hard to find personnel to supervise crusher
  

 
Safety
In their “Safe operation and use of mobile jaw crushers” guidance, the HSE make the following observations.
 
Key Risks:

• Machinery guarding
• Clearing Blocked or Stalled Crushers
• Slips and trips
• Transport – coming in to contact with excavators loading the crusher

 
 The HSE goes on to make a number of recommendations (se website for full details) including:

• Ensure pedestrians and obstructions are excluded from the bucket operating arc.
• A properly designed mobile crushing operation should not need any person to be present on the crusher access platform during normal crushing operations.

 
With a bucket crusher, there is no need for anyone other than the excavator operator. There is no loader.

If un-crushable material - wood or metal – find their way into the feed pile, most blockages can be dealt with easily, by inverting the bucket to empty.

These crushing buckets enable an excavator to produce a graded aggregate from site rubble and are currently available for any digger from 2.5 to 16 tonnes with either a two-way auxiliary hydraulics (standard attachment circuit) or basic hydraulic hammer/breaker circuit, using our Auto-Crush valve.
​
The powerful, low-frequency, high-force crushing action allows even the hardest concrete to be processed with ease and will even cope with rock. This crushing process is highly resistant to blockages - thereby minimising costly downtime - and enables use on the widest variety of materials. The design has no vulnerable parts or machinery on the bucket sides.
