We have just launched a new product that will allow users of Dig A Crusher to make an even higher quality material. Now crushed demolition material and concrete can have all the metal removed by one man, one machine.
Dig A Magnet picking up steel from crushed concrete
Dig A Magnet is an electro magnet that attaches to the end of the Dig A Crusher. It is powered by the battery of the excavator and so does not require an expensive generator as with other magnets. The magnet simply has an on/off switch that allows the operator to pick up the steel when required.
Two key benefits. First the material crushed will be of better quality as tyres are less likely to suffer punctures. Second the steel recovered can be sold and so creating another money earning source.
This can be fitted to all older models of Dig A Crusher as well as new models.
Doosan 300 Crushing Slag with Crusher Bucket
Taylor Site Services of Cardiff has recently taken delivery of a Doosan DX300LC excavator equipped with a 900 Dig A Crusher bucket in order to tackle a back-log of oversize slag produced by the nearby Celsa steelworks.
A small mobile crusher was the initial choice of machine but a demonstration showed it to be totally unsuitable for the job as every time a piece of metal was inadvertently loaded into the hopper, the crusher jaws became jammed and the process had to be halted until the offending item had been retrieved by hand.
However, the new excavator/crusher bucket combination has proved perfect for the task because if any metal is scooped up, the excavator operator immediately senses a different sound from the attachment and can simply rotate the 3.5 tonne unit to empty out its contents with minimal delay and without leaving the cab.
Once the back-log of some 3000 tonne of material has been dealt with, the machine will only need to be used for a couple of days per week to keep pace with oversize material and for the rest of the time the excavator will be put to work as a conventional machine elsewhere on site.
The 30 tonne DX300LC is the sixth Doosan machine to be purchased by Taylor Site Services, all of which have been supplied by local dealer Construction Plant Services, also located at Cardiff Docks.
We hold live demonstrations each week near our yard at Middlewich, Cheshire.
