MB adds five new high-hardness, abrasion-resistant demolition pulverisers to its range

MB’s new range of five pulverisers

MB has developed a series of five demolition pulverisers, designed to fit excavators from 1.5 tonnes up to 25 tonnes. This is the first primary demolition attachment to be launched by the Italian manufacturer.

“It is something our customers were asking for,” says Giulia Riboni, communications specialist at MB.  

“We have crusher buckets and sorting grapplers, but for primary demolition, pulverisers are needed. It’s not a new concept but it is something that was missing from our range.”

The MB pulveriser range includes two models for lighter work, the MB-P160 and the MB-P380 and three heavy-duty models, the MB-PT650, the MB-PT1150 and the MB-PT1650.  

The pulverisers can be fitted with three different types of teeth: a crusher kit, a pulveriser kit or a shear kit.

The pulverisers are made of Hardox 550 which is high-hardness, abrasion-resistant steel plate designed for heavy-duty operations. The blades and teeth of the jaw can be reversed and interchanged to give longer life and less downtime.

Before officially launching the new range in April 2025, some of MB’s local customers put the pulverisers through their paces so that the research and development engineers could refine the design where necessary and ensure that the attachments were sufficiently robust.  

The pulverisers were even deployed on a project for MB itself: the demolition of a building to make way for the construction of a third warehouse for the company.
