MB CRUSHERS

YOUR NEW RECYCLING CENTER

A BF120.4 crusher bucket and an MB-S18 screening bucket mounted on any brand of excavator can give you a mobile recycling centre. Debris of an old building are processed directly on site, then reused it to build the new structure.

In the picture: the MB jaw crusher processed 9000 tons of demolition material, ensuring a daily productivity of 500 tons and the MB-S18 screening bucket separated and cleaned the material to speed up the crushing process.

The advantages? Reduced logistics costs, an organized and clean construction site, and self-sufficient production. » Get in touch!
