WORLD NEWS MB Crusher at Marmomac 2018 MB Crusher supplies a range of efficient crusher buckets for a variety of uses. If marble did not exist, it would have to be invented. Yes, because this shiny stone — as its Greek name suggests — has been used since ancient times in art, industry, and everyday life. From the gigantic marble block, to the dust used in paints or kitchen worktops, the raw material is cut, moulded, and shaped. www.plantonline.co.za Various types of machinery are used to extract, process, and shape it, many of which were exhibited at Marmomac 2018 — the world’s most important International Exhibition of Marble, Design and Technology (Verona, 26–29 September). MB Crusher machinery also processes marble. Installed on excavators, loaders, or backhoe loaders on the excavation site, they crush, screen, or handle stones that will then be reused in different production contexts. Thanks to exclusive and patented Made in Italy technology, MB Crusher’s crusher and screening buckets can process all extracted material, to render it re-usable directly on site. The precision of production allows for materials that were previously destined solely for disposal to be processed in regular output sizes, which can be re-sold or re-used on site, thus leaving the mineral balance of the quarry unaltered. They require simple and rapid maintenance, which can be carried out directly by excavator operators on site, guaranteeing problem-free production. It is the flexibility and innovation of MB products that lead important companies already having large mobile and fixed crusher plants to decide to equip themselves with MB crusher and screening buckets, to carry out specific operations in restricted spaces that are difficult to access. Among the MB products on display at Marmomac, was the crusher bucket BF90.3, a key piece of equipment used in a huge quarry in Barhein, where it crushed over 50 000m 3 of rock to be reused as a road base, while the BF120.4 crusher bucket was recently used in Buttapietra — an extraction site of river stones on the outskirts of Verona. Also on display was one of the largest models of rotary gripper, the MB-G1200. Other products included the MB-S18 screening bucket, the BF70.2 excavator crusher, and the MB-L200 loader and skid steer loader crusher. NOVEMBER 2018 7
