Toku America offers pulverizer attachment series

The Willoughby, Ohio-based Toku America Inc. business unit of Japan’s Toku Pneumatic Co. Ltd. recently advanced its Striker FPV series of fixed hydraulic pulverizers with a focus on making recycling easier by separating steel rebar from concrete, delivering what the company says is reliability, precision and "optimal crushing force.

Toku says the demolition market has witnessed significant growth in recent years because of factors such as urbanization, infrastructure development and renovation projects.

“Toku’s Striker FPV is uniquely designed to work on the ground to meet the needs of secondary processing, such as recycling and crushing of the loose materials,” Toku America President Matt Gruden says. “Given the boom in secondary demolition tools, the FPV series engineered configuration of structural strength and crushing efficiency performance features can meet these heavy-duty/long-haul demands."

The housing of attachments in Toku's FPV series are made from high-strength, wear-resistant Hardox steel, while the hydraulic cylinder is engineered to provide optimal crushing force while protecting the rod from accidental impacts and damage during use.

A pressure relief valve is present to protect the pulverizer from hydraulic system high-pressure spikes while a speed valve situated in medium and large models increases the opening and closing speed of cylinders to provide fast and efficient cycle times, according to Toku.

The pulverizer’s teeth have a patented cutting profile that increases penetration and crushing of the material, says Toku, while reversible blades can increase the life of the teeth.

Additionally, the FPV series has been designed with what Toku calls a “bold-on” wear plate for fast, easy maintenance, according to the company, adding that the plate also can prevent wear of the structural components, increasing the life span of the attachment.

Toku America has an engineering team with a combined more than 40 years of experience to provide guidance to customers. The company is based in a 15,000-square-foot warehouse and office facility in Willoughby, Ohio, near Cleveland, and has a West Coast branch in Riverside, California, that serves the western United States.
