Product Information

Jaw crusher from BRANDER with petrol engine – turning rubble into valuable material on site

Every demolition and conversion site produces the same thing: concrete remnants, old paving stones, broken brick, foundation pieces. The usual route is disposal – order a skip, have it hauled away, pay landfill fees. And afterwards buy and have gravel delivered for the base layer.

This crusher reverses the calculation: demolition material becomes usable recycled aggregate on site – for base layers, track construction, drainage and backfilling.

Saving twice over: no disposal, no purchase

This is the real economic lever, and it works in both directions:

No disposal costs. Skips, transport and landfill fees are eliminated for the material that gets crushed.

No material purchase. What would otherwise have to be bought and delivered as gravel is produced on the building site.

On a typical demolition site with 20 to 30 tonnes of rubble, this quickly adds up to a sum that puts the purchase price into perspective.

13 HP petrol engine – complete independence from power supply

Drive is provided by a 13 HP petrol engine. This is the decisive feature for site use:

No power supply required. On a demolition site the electricity is often the first thing switched off. A site distribution board has to be requested, provided and paid for – or there simply is none.

Ready immediately. Start it, work. No connection, no cable laying, no fusing questions.

Usable anywhere. In the field, on a farm track, in the yard, in a quarry – wherever there is no mains supply.

Anyone working exclusively in halls or on a works yard will find a 400 V electric version in the range – quieter and emission-free, but tied to a location.

300 × 200 mm feed opening – the large opening as a time factor

The enlarged feed opening of 300 × 200 mm is more than a figure on a data sheet. It determines how much preparatory work is needed.

A crusher with a smaller opening forces you to pre-break larger concrete lumps with a sledgehammer or excavator first. That is the actual work – not the crushing itself.

With a 300 mm feed width, a large proportion of typical demolition material goes straight in: concrete slab remnants, paving stones, bricks, kerbstone pieces, foundation fragments.

Up to 7.5 t/h crushing capacity

Seven and a half tonnes per hour at coarser grain sizes is a good figure for a machine in this class. To put it in context: that corresponds to roughly one trailer load per hour.

Important for realistic planning: the figure applies to coarser grain. The finer the desired end product, the lower the throughput – this applies to all crushers and is physically determined. Anyone needing fine material should calculate accordingly.

320 MPa compressive strength – what it means

This is the decisive figure for the question of which material can be processed. For context:

At 320 MPa, the limit lies above the hardest common natural stones. In practice: everything occurring on a construction site or in a quarry can be processed.

The operating principle: eccentric shaft and movable jaw

The design is deliberately simple and therefore robust: the movable jaw plate operates via an eccentric shaft. On the downward stroke the distance to the fixed jaw reduces – the material is crushed and slides downwards, where the gap is narrowest.

The advantages of this design:

• Few moving parts – little that can fail
• High crushing forces with modest drive power
• Automatic material flow – the material travels downwards by gravity
• Insensitive to varying material sizes

Robust, heavy-duty construction

A crusher works with very high forces – the structure must absorb them without deforming. The heavy-duty construction is therefore not a marketing claim but a functional prerequisite: a yielding frame results in uneven gap width, poor grain shape and premature wear.

Simple assembly, maintenance-friendly

The machine is designed for simple assembly and ease of maintenance. On a machine with defined wear parts – the crusher jaws – this is decisive: they must be replaceable without special tools and without a workshop visit.

Crusher jaws as a plannable wear part

The jaws are the wear part of the system. They wear depending on material and throughput – faster with abrasive rock than with concrete.

Two points on this:

Replacement jaws are available – changing them is planned for, not a breakdown.

Two-sided use. Many crusher jaws can be turned around once one side is worn – doubling their service life. Check this possibility during maintenance.

Expandable: conveyor belt

A conveyor belt is available for material discharge. The benefit is the same as with wood chippers: the crushed material lands directly on a pile or trailer instead of building up beneath the machine and blocking the outlet.

In continuous operation the conveyor is practically essential – without it, work must be stopped regularly for clearing.

What the crushed material is used for

• Base layers for tracks, yards and parking areas
• Drainage layers and soakaways
• Backfill material for trenches and foundation areas
• Track construction in agriculture and forestry
• Sub-base for paving and slabs

Points to observe

Remove reinforcement. Concrete rubble containing reinforcing steel is problematic: rebar can jam, block the machine and damage the jaws. Cut out reinforcement beforehand.

Only intervene when the machine is stationary. Before maintenance, jaw changes and fault clearance, stop the engine and wait for standstill.

Personal protective equipment: hearing protection, safety glasses, dust mask, safety footwear and gloves. Crushing work generates considerable noise and dust.

Dust suppression. Crushing mineral materials produces quartz-containing fine dust. Water spraying or extraction substantially reduces exposure; the applicable requirements for handling respirable crystalline silica must be observed.

Operate outdoors or in well-ventilated areas only. The petrol engine produces carbon monoxide.

Stability. The crusher must stand on level, load-bearing ground – vibration during operation is considerable.

As power-driven work equipment, crushers are subject to requirements regarding protective devices and recurring inspection under the applicable national regulations.

Typical Applications

Demolition and dismantling work, construction sites producing rubble, recycling yards and waste management companies, construction firms and civil engineering, garden and landscape construction, agriculture and forestry (track construction), municipal depots, quarrying and natural stone, building materials production, mining and raw material extraction, chemical industry, machinery and equipment hire.

Frequently Asked Questions

What material can I crush?
Concrete, natural stone, construction rubble, brick, ceramics, ore, coal, coke, quartz, granite and gravel – anything with a compressive strength up to 320 MPa. This limit lies above the hardest common natural stones.

How large can the feed material be?
The feed opening measures 300 × 200 mm. A large proportion of typical demolition material therefore fits without pre-crushing.

What is the crushing capacity?
Up to 7.5 t/h at coarser grain – roughly one trailer load per hour. The finer the desired end product, the lower the throughput.

Why a petrol engine?
For independence from the power supply. On demolition sites the electricity is often switched off, and off-road there is none at all. A 400 V electric version is available for stationary indoor use.

How does a jaw crusher work?
The movable jaw plate operates via an eccentric shaft. On the downward stroke the distance to the fixed jaw reduces – the material is crushed and slides downwards by gravity.

Can I crush reinforced concrete?
Reinforcement should be removed beforehand. Rebar can jam, block the machine and damage the jaws.

Does the investment pay off?
The lever works twice: no disposal costs for the crushed material and no purchase of gravel. With 20 to 30 tonnes of rubble per site, this adds up considerably.

What can I use the crushed material for?
For base layers, drainage, backfilling, track construction and as sub-base for paving and slabs.

Are the crusher jaws wear parts?
Yes. They wear depending on material and throughput – faster with abrasive rock than with concrete. Replacement jaws are available; many can also be turned around, doubling their service life.

Do I need a conveyor belt?
In continuous operation, practically yes – without a conveyor the crushed material builds up beneath the machine and blocks the outlet. A matching conveyor belt is available.

What protective equipment do I need?
Hearing protection, safety glasses, dust mask, safety footwear and gloves. Crushing work generates considerable noise and dust.

What about dust?
Crushing mineral materials produces quartz-containing fine dust. Water spraying or extraction substantially reduces exposure; the applicable requirements for respirable crystalline silica must be observed.

Where may I operate the machine?
Outdoors or in well-ventilated areas only – the petrol engine produces carbon monoxide. The ground must be level and load-bearing.
