An MB crusher bucket is helping produce over 60,000m3 of limestone for a project in Qatar

The BF90.3 crusher bucket has been working day and night in one of the capital’s largest sites in Barwa City (Doha). This is the second stage of construction, with the first stage having been completed in November 2016, when the first buildings were opened.

The second project stage started in June 2017 and is due for completion in May 2018. The BF90.3 crusher bucket was purchased by Boom General Contractors, a large construction company from Qatar that is carrying out the project. The BF90.3 is working to recycle inert waste materials from the excavations for the foundations and the underground car park.

Mounted on a 2394 Volvo EC240B excavator, the BF90.3 crushes the material with different sizes: to change the resulting soil texture, thicknesses can be added into or removed from the 283 MB crusher in just a few minutes. The crushed rock will be reused to fill on-site excavations and as subgrade for the roads within the project.

“We chose the MB crusher bucket because we can crush the material directly on site, without having to bring in a large crushing station,” said Pier Matter, project manager at Boom General Contractors. “This saves us transport costs for other machinery, as the crusher bucket is carried together with the excavator. Once it is on site, it can be assembled very quickly, and we are ready to work in a few minutes. It is also easy to use: From the excavator cab, the operator picks up the material with the crusher bucket and crushes it on the spot.” He continued, “Time is a critical factor for us, which means that having a machine like the MB crusher bucket on site is really helpful, also considering the amount of material we need to process. The crusher bucket does not need special maintenance in addition to basic maintenance. It also requires very low amounts of water, which makes it easy to work with the other excavators we have on site.”

The original BF90 model was a pioneer of the crusher bucket market and the BF90.3 is now in its fourth generation. The new model is more productive and can produce up to

42m3/hour depending on the processed material – while its size has been reduced and it is even more compact. This latest unit can produce materials from 15-140mm in size. Like all MB Crusher products, it is fully manufactured in Italy and is Hardox-in-my-Body certified. This means it is manufactured with first-class wear-resistant heavy-duty materials.
