MB Crusher announces new hydraulic drum cutter

MB Crusher, with U.S. headquarters in Reno, Nevada, has released a line of hydraulic drum cutters with a number of new features.

“In addition to existing patents on MB equipment, we've recently dedicated ourselves to drum cutter machinery, designing a highly evolved and innovative new product. The line of MB Crusher drum cutters are, in fact, the only ones on the world market utilizing a Direct Drive Twin Motor System,” says Diego Azzolin, MB Crusher’s production manager. “This direct transmission dual motor system is protected by our unique patent, allowing for a differentiated distribution of force on the two drums. This provides an enormous advantage, since the power force is managed autonomously by the drum cutter according to the toughness and resistance of the material."

Customers can opt for a variety of drum and tooth kits according to the type of material being processed. This new generation of standard drum cutters also adopts an integrated power boost feature to augment the power of the cutter head, which requires more force and is designed to obtain better results.

MB Crusher says the drum cutters also feature automated control to absorb and reduce structural stress on the excavator’s arm. It is also designed to increase precision and durability while saving money and time.

The company has also designed dust suppression and drum cover kits to reduce dust emissions and allow work to be carried out in closed environments and areas with high vibration restrictions, such as in historical centers and highly populated areas.

The drum cutter heads are designed to be easily replaced onsite in less than an hour, MB Crusher says.

Special wear plates were also integrated to protect the machine’s central casting, along with a protective high-temperature reduction kit to lower the machinery’s oil temperature while running.

The cutter rotation kit is designed specifically for road work and trench digging, allowing the machine operator to rotate the cutter directly from the cab without stopping the excavation work: an extremely beneficial operation in terms of time and effectiveness. What's more, the cutting depth adjustment kit allows operators to set the trench depth, to remove only the necessary amount of material and nothing more, providing a significant reduction in waste disposal costs.
