Railway sleepers, reinforced poles or vineyard posts: a solution for inconvenient and expensive aggregates
Over time and after a number of projects, materials that are difficult and expensive to dispose of pile up. It costs to have them processed in recycling centers. The materials that are considered an unnecessary expense.
Old light poles, columns and concrete pipes, railway sleepers, vineyard posts with spring steel: some shapes of material seem to be more complicated and expensive to recycle. It's categorized as uncommon and costly inert material.
Does it sound familiar to you?

It was done on a large company’s construction site in Brazil. The abandoned poles hadn’t been used on a site in years.
It didn’t take much: one MB Crusher’s BF60.1 crushed the poles in a matter of minutes and the revenue was doubled. In iron and in inert material.
From waste material considered unnecessary and expensive to an unexpected source of income, the time frame was short.

RECYCLE THE IRON SMOOTHLY
With MB’s crusher bucket:
- no risk of cutting the conveyor belt;
- no risk of it getting jammed and stalling the machine;

YOU DECIDE THE OUTPUT SIZE
You can do it directly on site, by just unscrewing a few bolts, inserting or removing the shims and adjusting the jaws according to your needs.
And not only that: the material produced by MB’s crusher bucket is good quality and therefore ready, reusable or resold as needed.
DOUBLE THE PROFIT
Because you can recycle inert material and iron. Two companies, two success stories: recovering waste material and obtaining double the profit. On two construction sites, one in France and another in Bulgaria, they are recovering railway sleepers and reinforced concrete. With a BF90.3 and BF80.3 crusher bucket and their excavators, these companies can easily pick up sleepers and poles and crush them on the spot.
The iron comes out from the crusher and then is put in a different pile with the iron separator, installed directly on the crusher bucket.
A quick and easy way for an otherwise delicate and complex process.

READY-TO-USE MATERIAL
What’s better than optimizing time, when the project has a deadline?
In Slovakia, the administration of a municipality needed to redo all the sidewalks, having heaps of inert material to be moved and brought to recycling centers or landfills.
A BF70.2 crusher bucket recycled the aggregate directly on site and used it without spending money on recycling centers or new material.
It’s not necessary to calculate how much they saved, in terms of time and site logistics.

HAULING, RENTAL… AVOIDABLE FEES!
Why pay when you can have a real recycling center on site?
This is what happened to one of our customers in the Czech Republic, who works with railways. Their problem was how to dispose of the sleepers, and how to avoid its demanding costs. After evaluating the option of renting a stand crusher (expensive and subject to breaking down due to the material) or hauling the material to a recycling center (large logistical and operational costs), they landed on MB Crusher. The solution was simple and… attached to their excavator!
With the BF70.2 crusher bucket they recycled all the old sleepers directly on site. ​Without other costs.
