The Cobra 290 impact crusher allows the user to remove rebar from crushed concrete when processing C & D waste. The over band magnet separates the rebar from the crushed material before stockpiling.
Concrete demolition with rebar made up the feed material for this project. Pieces of concrete to be crushed ranged from 20mm – 600mm after larger pieces were broken by an excavator with a rock hammer. The overband magnet on the impact crusher was used to remove the rebar from the crushed concrete.
The magnet removing the rebar allows for this scrap iron to be sold and an un-contaminated product to be produced.
Optimising material throughout and reduction is vital when crushing concrete with an impact crusher. The Cobra 290's performance in these areas are unmatched.
Benefits:
Create a usable product (40mm minus) to use as a base layer in yard for new concrete placement.
Reduces the need to purchase & import material for base layer.
Reduces emissions associated with vehicles used for transporting to landfill and for importing material.
Reusing material reduces quantity going to landfill and lowers impact on environment and costs.
Financial savings of just over £9000.
