CONCRETE PULVERIZERS

CONCRETE PULVERIZER OPERATING TIPS

1. To get the most crushing force from the pulverizer, pin the position arm in a mounting pad hole that allows
the guide link to travel beyond 90º to the bucket cylinder before crushing begins (see fi gure 4-3).

2. When processing large, heavy materials, open and close with short cycles rather than attempt to crush
the material in one cycle (see fi gure 4-4). This allows the pulverizer to downsize the material until it is able to
pulverize it completely. This technique creates less stress on the attachment and excavator hydraulics.
