MB will launch its second generation of bucket crushers at Intermat
283 MB S.p.A. of Italy has launched the first of a new generation in its bucket crusher range following the successful launch of the units in 2007.

According to the company, which currently exports to more than 100 countries, applications for MB bucket crushers, which fit a variety of excavator sizes (and which also include an iron separator) are many. They include demolition, general construction, excavation work, earthmoving, quarry and mines, vineyard deep ploughing and environmental remediation. However, one of the main tasks is crushing stones, and here the units allow crushing on site, thus offer the possibility of reducing costs.

One granite quarry in France can process 35 to 40m³/hour using MB's largest bucket crusher despite the hardness of the rock.

MB has said that the lighter unit weight and higher capacity opens up bucket crusher technology to a wider market but the real innovation is the development in the system. Although the BF 90 is the first in the new range, the company has said that it will develop other new models on an individual basis.

According to MB the main development with the second generation has been the reduction in vibration transferred to the excavator, which makes it more comfortable for the user.

The company's new units will be shown at the upcoming 242 INTERMAT 2009 exhibition in France, a market in which it says it "has always taken a special interest."

MB says: "MB visited France during Intermat 2006 with a small team mainly for exploratory purposes: and the results were pretty impressive, with more than 15 units sold in the period immediately after the event. After an initial period of surprise for this level of interest, it soon proved to be a major incentive, persuading MB to set up a permanent team in France."

The French team started operating in 2007 and sales gradually started to rise.

In April, 2007 MB took first prize in the Geneva (Switzerland) inventions exhibition Salon International des Inventions (inventors and manufacturers section), and a few days later it exhibited at 688 Bauma 2007, which "proved to be a real springboard for the company and for the French staff." In just over a year the staff managed to sell more than 130 units.
