An attachment from Finnish firm ALLU is proving itself in Brazilian extraction operations


Máquina Solo is the 2180 ALLU distributor for its Transformer and Processor ranges of equipment throughout Brazil.

As the Transformer is essentially designed to fit an excavator or loading shovel, this has made the equipment ideal for large scale surface extraction operations, where transportability and productivity are essential requirements of material handling equipment. With many units now working throughout Brazil, one such application has seen the ALLU Transformer M-Series being used to screen material. This particular model was chosen due to its high mobility and functionality in screening the material in-situ, instead of loading onto trucks, transporting the material to stationary screening plant, and then re-transporting the material back to where it originally came from. This has meant the company has been able to replace its stationary screening equipment, freeing up resources as well as enjoying greater flexibility in its operations.

The ALLU M-Series can transform the wheeled loader or excavator it is mounted on into a high capacity mobile material processor. The ALLU Transformer M-Series attachment is able to crush soft and brittle material, separate hard unwanted impurities in the rock mass, while loading a dump truck or conveyor system. This makes it ideal for processing of soft rock and other minerals in often hard to get to areas, with the M-Series delivering simultaneous mobile crushing, separating, enrichment and loading.

Efficiency is transformed as the loading and processing of materials is accomplished in one stage resulting in faster processing. Essentially the loader or excavator becomes a multimachine that can load and process whilst replacing machines at the jobsite. This eliminates material double handling needs and helps with cost reduction.

The ALLU Transformer M-Series has proved to be ideal for soft rock surface applications in Brazil as it can handle in one step any materials within its range. It can screen any type of material, and by applying the correct amount of crushing force together with the correct drum type, the attachment also efficiently separates hard unwanted waste materials in the rock mass, while crushing the soft material. By adapting to the processing needs and rock mass it encounters, the attachment boosts productivity through delivering operational efficiency.
