Commerce City, Colo.-based Atlas Copco has announced that its CC 3300 hydraulic CombiCutter now features a new box-shape jaw, which, according to the company, allows the recycling rate to be increased for demolition jobs and the recycling process within the crusher to be simplified.
“Our new box-shaped jaws have been designed to significantly streamline the demolition process by cutting the material on three sides simultaneously,” Kevin Loomis, Atlas Copco product line manager, hydraulic attachments, states. “As the jaws penetrate the concrete material, they also cut the rebar in the same motion, producing a box-shaped product ready for recycling.”
It also reduces the amount of fines and dust produced on the demolition site, the company says. “Reducing the material into blocks will slash demolition times while also limiting dust and fines produced by traditional cutter-jaw types,” Loomis adds. “The result is a better grade of material to be recycled and reduced stress on our environment.”
The box-type jaw “B” (for box shape) has been designed for the CC 3300 CombiCutter. A “U” type jaw (U for universal) for demolition work in reinforced concrete and an “S“ type jaw (S for steel) for cutting steel structures also are available.
