Atlas Copco has introduced a new box-shape jaw for the company’s CC 3300 Hydraulic CombiCutter. The company says that the new jaw will allow users to increase the recycling capabilities in demolition jobs.
"With the box-shape jaw we are able to achieve defined sizes of demolished material, which are ideal for the crusher plant next in line," says Wolfgang Hohn, Atlas Copco’s product line manager for its Silent Demolition Tools. "We cut the demolished material on three sides in one go to prevent too-long pieces of rebar, substantially simplifying the separation of the different materials."
In a release, Atlas Copco notes that the jaw provides a positive effect on the amount of fines and dust produced on the demolition site. "More high-grade material can be recycled, and the environment is better protected by the reduced dust emissions," Hohn continues.
The box-type jaw "B" has been designed for the CC 3300 CombiCutter. Apart from this, the "U" type jaw for demolition work in reinforced concrete and the "S" type jaw for cutting steel structures are available.
