ATLAS COPCO DP 2000 HYDRAULIC PULVERIZER
Atlas Copco Construction Tools LLC has introduced the DP 2000 hydraulic pulverzier attachment.
• The new demolition pulverizer attachment offers 292 tons maximum cutting force and 94 tons of crushing force at the jaw tip.
• With a service weight of 4,520 pounds, the unit is suitable for carriers in the 18 to 27 metric ton weight class.
• Operating at a maximum pressure of 5,075 psi, the DP 2000 uses a straight jaw design that allows the pulverizer’s jaws to open 30.7 inches.
• The DP 2000 is constructed of components created through Finite Element Method (FEM) design. FEM is designed to ensure the attachment has the required strength to withstand the extreme loads of demolition applications while keeping the unit lightweight.
• An advanced speed valve on the DP 2000 allows shorter opening and closing cycle times.
• The unit hydraulically rotates 360 degrees.
• A built-in rotation protection system reduces wear on the carrier, and hydraulic cylinders are guarded for full protection from outside debris.

DOPPSTADT NEW TROMMEL OPTION
DoppstadtUS has announced the availability of its new auto stop/start sensor, the latest in its line of fuel-saving trommel options.
• The option involves an infrared sensor above the hopper that measures the depth of material in the hopper.
• When material in the hopper falls below a specific point, the trommel will automatically shut down the drum, feeder and conveyors, and power down the engine to an 800-rams-per-minute idle.
• As the hopper is reloaded, the trommel automatically powers up, restarting the machine to begin screening again.
• This feature can increase fuel efficiency, especially for facilities run by one or two persons, according to the manufacturer.
• As the operator loads material onto a truck, or retrieves new material to load for screening, the trommel will cycle down, rather than run empty and burn unnecessary fuel.
• In addition, by eliminating operation at low-load conditions, material spiking is significantly reduced, resulting in a much cleaner fines product and higher overall product quality, according to DoppstadtUS.

• Brush rakes are available with 11 or 13 tines.
• The rake design allows dirt to shake out through the bottom tines eliminating feeding large quantities of dirt into the grinder.
• These rakes take less than five minutes to attach to a user’s front-end wheel loader with two hydraulic hoses providing power to the top tines.
• The brush rake allows the user to bring material to the grinder, instead of bringing the grinder to the material.
