A bucket crusher is essentially a jaw crusher fitted inside an excavator bucket. It connects to the excavator’s hydraulic system and turns the machine into a mobile crushing unit.
How it works?
- The crusher bucket attaches to the excavator boom Powered by hydraulic oil flow from the excavator Contains two jaws (one fixed, one moving)
- material enters from the top and is crushed between jaws Crushed material exits from the bottom
Typical specifications
Excavator size: 8 – 70 tons Working pressure: ~25 MPa Capacity: 0.5 – 1.0 m³ Weight: 1,500 – 3,500+ kg Hydraulic flow: ~150 – 220 L/min
Key features
- On-site crushing → saves transport cost Adjustable output sizeReversible operation (clears blockages) Wear-resistant steel (e.g., Hardox) for durability Dust suppression system (optional water spray)
Applications
- Construction & demolition waste recycling, Road construction (crushing asphalt), Quarry and mining operations, Pipeline and trench projects, Landscaping and site preparation.
Advantages
- No need for separate crusher machine 💰 Lower transport & disposal cost ⚡ Faster project completion 🌱 Eco-friendly (material reuse) 📦 Compact and easy to move
