Description

This demolition grab is a rotating, excavator-mounted multi-purpose pulveriser built around a single main body that can be configured for different site tasks by swapping jaw “kits.” The idea is to keep the core attachment on the machine while changing the working end to suit the moment—crushing, processing, or cutting—so the tool can move seamlessly between demolition and material handling without changing to a completely different attachment.

Joe Hughes

Sales Manager

I joined Approved Hydraulics in November 2014 at the age of 18, starting as a Stores Apprentice with responsibility for stock control, goods management, and purchasing support. This role gave me a strong grounding in our products, processes, and the operational side of the business.

In 2017, I transitioned into a full-time sales position and have been actively involved in day-to-day sales activities ever since, supporting customers, managing enquiries, and developing product and commercial knowledge across our range.

In 2025, I was promoted to Sales Manager. In this role, I lead a team of six sales colleagues and oversee the daily operations of the sales function, ensuring customer enquiries are handled efficiently, service standards are maintained, and the team continues to deliver consistent results and strong customer relationships.

Why Choose the CMB FK Rotating Pulveriser

At the business end, the tool uses interchangeable jaws and a quick kit-change interface to shift roles on site. The working edges are designed for heavy contact with concrete and embedded steel: it features reversible blades with four usable profiles (so worn edges can be turned rather than immediately replaced) and interchangeable teeth to maintain bite and control as parts wear. This combination is aimed at keeping performance consistent during long processing runs while reducing downtime for maintenance and wear-part replacement.

Structurally and hydraulically, it’s engineered for tough, repetitive cycles. The frame is made from Hardox 450 for high wear resistance, and the attachment provides 360° continuous hydraulic rotation to help the operator align the jaws precisely to walls, slabs, beams, and scattered rubble without constantly repositioning the excavator. The main actuating cylinder is inverted and protected, keeping vulnerable components out of the direct debris path, and a speed valve is used (standard on larger models, optional on smaller ones) to boost cycle responsiveness. Typical operating demands span excavator circuits around 300–400 bar with roughly 200–450 l/min depending on size, plus a separate rotation circuit around 120–140 bar and 10–40 l/min, reflecting the fact that the attachment is intended for high-output demolition and processing work.

In practical use, the range covers carrier classes from roughly 10–55 ton excavators (models FK 10 through FK 40), with total attachment weights varying by kit—on the order of about 1.5 t up to ~4.25 t for the heaviest configuration—so it scales from mid-size demolition to heavier-duty processing. The modular kits let a crew tailor the same base tool to different phases of a job: breaking down reinforced concrete, switching to a configuration better suited to mixed material handling and processing, or fitting a shear-oriented setup when cutting becomes the priority—all while keeping the advantages of continuous rotation for controlled, efficient positioning.

Maintenance FAQs

Best practices for keeping your hydraulic system running efficiently.

How do you check oil condition?

Visual inspection for discoloration, foaming, or particles

Lab analysis provides a detailed breakdown of contamination, viscosity, acidity, and wear metals

This helps determine oil life and potential system issues.

How do you dispose of hydraulic oil?

Collect used oil in approved containers

Take it to a licensed waste oil recycling or disposal facility

Never pour it into drains or the environment — it’s illegal and harmful.

How do you prevent contamination?

Use sealed containers and clean tools

Always clean hose ends and fittings before connecting

Install high-quality filtration on return lines and reservoirs

Avoid opening the system unnecessarily

How do you store hydraulic hoses?

In a clean, dry, and cool environment

Away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and ozone-producing equipment

Preferably stored horizontally on racks to prevent kinking or deformation

How often should filters be changed?

At regular service intervals or when a clogging indicator signals high restriction. It’s best to change filters before they reach full capacity to avoid bypassing dirty fluid.

How often should hydraulic oil be changed?

Typically every 2,000 operating hours, or as recommended by the equipment manufacturer. Factors like system cleanliness, load, and temperature can influence intervals. Always verify with oil analysis if unsure.

What is a breather cap?

A breather cap allows air to enter or exit the reservoir as fluid levels change, without letting contaminants in. Some include filters to trap airborne particles or moisture.

What is preventive maintenance in hydraulics?

Scheduled checks and service tasks (e.g., inspecting hoses, changing filters, checking oil) to prevent unexpected failures, extend system life, and reduce downtime.

What tools are used in hydraulic diagnostics?

Pressure gauges to check line pressure

Flow meters to measure flow rate

Infrared thermometers or thermal cameras to detect hotspots

Ultrasonic leak detectors to find air or fluid leaks

Test kits for oil sampling

Why should systems be flushed?

Flushing removes contaminants like metal shavings, dirt, or water — especially important after repairs, system assembly, or oil changes. It helps prevent premature wear and failures.
