Concrete Processors
What are Concrete Processors?
Concrete processors are heavy-duty, mobile attachments used in primary and secondary demolition to remove and/or downsize concrete and separate the rebar for recycling. They mount onto, and can be removed from, a variety of excavator models and sizes, and most operate hydraulically, although there are some mechanical models.
Concrete processors are used in an array of demolition projects including buildings, bridges, piers and walls, as well as in concrete recycling applications, so there is a wide variety of models available.
Some processors have a dedicated jaw, which makes them better suited for specific applications, while others are multi-jaw attachments that have interchangeable shear, concrete processor and concrete pulverizer jaws that allow for application flexibility. Additionally, jaws differ by type and number of crushing teeth and blades.
Important Features and Benefits
Key considerations when choosing concrete processors are:
- The excavator onto which it will be mounted
- If it will be second- or third-member mounted
- The type and amount of material that will be processed
- Jaw opening and depth
- Attachment reach
- Attachment weight
- If rotation is required
- Max cutting/crushing force
- Jaw change-out process
- Maintenance requirements
- Jaw geometry that reduces ground contact wear
