The performance skid by Hartl, whose North American headquarters are in Henderson, Nevada, is a remote controlled drive unit and docking station for all hydraulic processing attachments, such as bucket crushers, screeners and shredders. According to the company, it optimizes the production rates of the attachments and offers high energy efficiency and minimal operating costs.
In combination with the Hartl bucket crusher, you get a high mobile crushing solution that approaches the performance of track mounted crushers, the company says. And the crushing unit can be detached from the skid frame and mounted on the excavator boom for “solo” jobs.
Advantages of the performance skid, in combination with a bucket crusher, according to Hartl:
- Improved performance: The bucket crushers’ continuous crushing action in combination with the skid is designed to nearly double the performance of the excavator driven by eliminating the “boom swing cycle.”
- Adjustable height: As attached to an excavator with the performance skid, the discharge height of the crusher can now be adjusted. Customers processing reinforced concrete, concrete slabs or ties will be particularly pleased, the company says. Low ceiling, cramped spaces, as in underground coal mines, can benefit from this advancement.
- Tipping function (crusher bucket purge function): The tipping function, operated by pressing a button on the remote control, is designed to stop lengthy blockages inside of the crusher.
The performance skid is available for startups and professionals at an attractive introductory price, along with the HBC 950 Crusher featuring an inlet opening of 37 x 21 inch.
The Hartl modular solution consists of several processing modules, that can be combined according to the needs of the customer, the company says. A typical layout for the recycling of concrete with rebar to gain 3 defined aggregates includes the following modules:
- performance skid containing a bucket crusher --> banana conveyor belt with magnet tower to sort out all metals --> two deck screening plant with 3 conveyor belts. The whole plant is electric operated
- according to the needs, the modular solutions can be used for processing natural rock or recycling. The modules are compact and are designed to be transported and set up easily, according to the company
