Top 100: Processing Head Cuts and Crushes

According to Construction Technologies, its IronWolf Crusher, which uses a proprietary cutter/crusher head driven by a huge hydraulic power pack, can be mounted on a variety of host machines. The cutter/crusher head is equipped with a large up-cutting drum that incorporates a tooth pattern designed to trap rock within the confines of four teeth, then to slam the rock into breaker bars mounted in the drum housing. This system, says the manufacturer, allows the IronWolf to effectively cut and crush various types of rock, asphalt pavement and concrete, as long as the material is laminated or already fractured. Estimated list price: $235,000 to $450,000.
