The MB Crusher bucket separator adapts to any task

Environmental clean-up in the morning, laying bed prep in the afternoon, quarry material sorting in the evening – with the MB Crusher screening bucket, the work never stops – just changes tune.

In a kaolin quarry in Spain and on ski slopes in the French Alps, experts have chosen the same solution to save time and money while improving their work: the MB Crusher padding bucket. A wide variety of materials can be processed using just one device. Various work steps can be carried out using just one machine – resulting in greater efficiency on the construction site, less waste, and more independence.

Spain: Where kaolin is no longer ran over

In a Spanish quarry, kaolinite – that chalky white mineral used in everything from porcelain to paper – used to be crushed under the tracks of excavators or smashed up with the bucket. Crude, inefficient, and costly. Now the material is extracted, stored, dried, and processed with an MB-HDS323. The result: a consistently high-quality material, neatly sorted and ready to go. Quicker, cleaner, and a whole lot smarter.

Meanwhile, high in the Alps…

Ski resorts don’t just come alive when the snow falls – they’re hard at work even in the off-season. On one French mountainside, a team laying pipes for snowmaking systems faced a logistical nightmare: how do you refill a trench in a remote spot without hauling materials in and out at great cost (and environmental impact)?

A MB-HDS320, mounted on a CAT320, screened and prepped excavated material on site – then reused it to fill the trench. Uniform, ready-to-use backfill in minutes: No transport, no fuss.

 

The common denominator is the wave system

MB’s patented design lets you swap rotors in minutes – right there on site. No need to pop down to the workshop. No trips to the workshop, no downtime. The operator replaces the shaft directly on the construction site and switches from one material type to another. It’s as simple as changing TV channels.

In France, at ENEDIS AUVERGNE’s power line construction sites, a padding bucket helps separate spoil from reusable backfill, all while ensuring only top-grade soil goes near the cables. Normally this means trips to the tip, buying in fresh materials – the usual faff. Here, it’s all done on site. Quicker. Cheaper. In Germany, on the island of Sylt – a protected area with tricky access and tight environmental rules – an MB-HDS320 made it possible to screen sand, peat and soil on location. No need to ship it off to the mainland for processing. Every journey saved means money saved – and less impact on delicate landscapes.

Real versatility

That’s what the MB-HDS line is all about. Equipment that adapts to your site – not the other way round. Wet or dry, soft or tough, urban or rural. From compact backhoes to beastly excavators, MB Crusher has 13 models – and every one can handle shaft swaps in minutes.

This year, the range just got bigger:

• MB-HDS407 – a nimble, ultra-compact padding bucket for 3.5 to 9 ton excavators and backhoes. Lightweight, precise, and perfect in tight spots.
• MB-HDS533 – the heavyweight champion: a 3.4-m-wide powerhouse for 50 to 80 ton excavators. Made for big jobs and difficult materials.
