    How does it work?

    The crushing function of the CR 1100 is based on rotating axel and carbide crusher picks placed around the shaft. Picks press the material against counter blades and crush the particles into down to produce a size of 0-100mm. Two direct drive motors offer reliable power transmission.

    Choosing the Right Bucket Crusher for Your Excavator

    When it comes to material processing, demolition, and recycling, a bucket crusher is one of the most efficient, flexible, and cost-effective tools available today. Designed to be mounted directly onto an excavator, a crusher bucket turns your carrier machine into a mobile crushing unit, offering unmatched versatility at the job site. Whether you’re crushing concrete, rocks, asphalt, or demolition waste, an excavator crusher bucket can dramatically improve your operational efficiency and reduce transportation and disposal costs.

    Applications of Crusher Buckets

    An excavator crusher bucket finds applications across various industries, including:

    • Demolition: Crushing demolition waste, concrete slabs, and reinforced materials.
    • Recycling: Processing waste materials into reusable aggregates on-site.
    • Construction: Crushing rocks and stones for backfill, road bases, or foundation preparation.
    • Mining and Quarrying: Secondary crushing and downsizing oversize rocks.
    • Landscaping: Reducing rocks and boulders for site leveling and preparation.
    • Pipeline and Utility Work: Trenching and preparing aggregate for pipe bedding.

    Because a bucket crusher can handle a wide range of materials, it significantly reduces the need for additional machinery and lowers operational costs.

    Why Choose a Bucket Crusher?

    The growing popularity of the crusher bucket among professionals is no coincidence. Here are the main reasons why companies are increasingly investing in excavator crusher buckets:

    • On-Site Crushing: Materials can be crushed and reused directly on the job site, eliminating transport costs.

    • Cost Efficiency: Reduces expenses related to waste disposal, aggregate purchasing, and transportation.

    • Versatility: A single bucket crusher can process a wide variety of materials, from reinforced concrete to natural stone.

    • Time Savings: Immediate material processing speeds up project timelines and reduces project costs.

    • Eco-Friendliness: On-site crushing reduces the carbon footprint by minimizing the need for material transportation.

    An excavator crusher bucket transforms your excavator into a multifunctional tool that brings value to every stage of a construction or demolition project.

     

    How Does a Bucket Crusher Work?

    The working principle of a bucket crusher is both simple and ingenious:

    1. Loading: Material is scooped into the crusher bucket using the excavator’s arm.
    2. Crushing: Inside the crusher bucket, a powerful jaw mechanism crushes the material against a fixed surface.
    3. Output: Crushed material exits the bottom of the bucket, ready to be reused or stockpiled.

    Many modern excavator crusher buckets allow you to adjust the output size by modifying jaw settings. This ensures you get the right particle size for your specific needs, whether it’s fine gravel for backfilling or larger chunks for road sub-bases.

    Different Types of Crusher Buckets

    Not all bucket crushers are the same. Depending on the project requirements, different types of crusher buckets offer specialized features.

    1. Standard Jaw Crusher Buckets

    These crusher buckets use mechanical jaws powered by the excavator’s hydraulic system to crush material. They are ideal for general demolition and recycling tasks.

    2. High-Performance Crusher Buckets

    High-performance models are designed for heavy-duty applications, featuring stronger jaws, reinforced frames, and greater crushing power. These bucket crushers are often used in quarrying and mining industries.

    3. Dual-Action Crusher Buckets

    Some excavator crusher buckets offer dual-action crushing, meaning they have both a fixed jaw and a moving jaw to enhance crushing efficiency, especially with harder or reinforced materials.

    Each crusher bucket type offers advantages depending on the nature of your worksite and material. See our crusher buckets at work on YouTube!

     

    How to Choose the Right Bucket Crusher for Your Excavator

    Selecting the right excavator crusher bucket requires consideration of multiple factors:

    Carrier Compatibility

    First, check your excavator’s specifications:

    • Operating weight
    • Hydraulic flow and pressure
    • Coupling type

    Choosing a bucket crusher that matches your carrier’s capabilities ensures optimal performance and avoids damaging your equipment.

    Material Type

    Understand what type of materials you will be crushing. Softer materials like limestone can be handled by most crusher buckets, while harder materials like granite or heavily reinforced concrete may require a high-performance bucket crusher.

    Output Requirements

    Consider what particle size you need. Adjustable jaw settings on an excavator crusher bucket allow for flexibility depending on the project requirements.

    Productivity Needs

    Select a crusher bucket with a capacity that matches your productivity goals. Larger buckets can process more material faster but require a more powerful carrier machine.

    Maintenance and Support

    Choose a bucket crusher from a manufacturer that offers easy maintenance, spare parts availability, and strong technical support. Investing in a high-quality crusher bucket minimizes downtime and maximizes return on investment.

     

    How to Maintain Your Crusher Bucket

    Proper maintenance extends the life of your bucket crusher and ensures it operates at peak efficiency. Key maintenance practices include:

    • Daily Inspections: Check for cracks, loose bolts, and hydraulic leaks.

    • Lubrication: Grease pivot points and moving parts as per the manufacturer’s schedule.

    • Jaw Wear Monitoring: Inspect and replace worn jaws or wear plates to maintain crushing efficiency.

    • Cleaning: Remove debris and buildup after each use to prevent damage to moving parts.

    • Hydraulic System Care: Ensure hydraulic hoses are intact and pressure settings are within recommended ranges.

    Routine maintenance not only protects your crusher bucket but also improves safety and performance at the worksite.

    Q&A on our crushing buckets

    Where to use the crushing bucket?

    Save time and money by processing demolition waste onsite. In ideal case crushed material can be reused onsite, but even if the material needs to be transported for recycling facility, crushing reduces the volume and helps to save transportation costs. Crushing bucket is also affordable investment to recycling centres to process their material piles and turning those into valuable product.

    Why choose the crushing bucket over a crushing plant?

    Compared to a crushing plant, the bucket crusher is a more affordable investment and can solve a number of material handling needs. Also, the operating cost is only a fraction of that of bigger plants. You only need one excavator, one bucket and one operator.

    What is the production capacity of the bucket?

    The rotary crusher bucket offers a steady throughput and with number of materials a capacity of 60m3/ hour can be achieved.

    What happens if there is fine material mixed into material to be crushed?

    Excessive fine material does not interfere with the crushing process in this rotary crushing bucket. This type of crushing technique is particularly suitable for processing mixed materials.

    What wear parts does the CR 1100 have?

    Wear parts for the CR 1100 consist mainly of carbide crushing picks which are quick and easy to change. Compared to the wear parts of some other type of crusher buckets the picks are much more affordable and convenient to store, transport or take to site.

    What happens if something unbreakable goes into the bucket?

    If a material is too hard to process, the rotor simply stops, after which the rotor can be reversed and the unbreakable material dumped out of the bucket.

    What happens to steel wire / cables?

    According to our experience most of the wire / cables go through the bucket.

    Can it crush natural stone?

    There are different types of natural stone, and some are easy to crush while others are not. Sandstone, shale or claystone and soapstone are processable. The hardest natural stones, like granite, cannot be processed with our bucket.
