Atlas Copco Construction Tools Inc. introduces the DP 2800 hydraulic demolition pulverizer attachment. Featuring a compact design and providing 99 tons of crushing force at the jaw tip, the unit has a service weight of 6,173 pounds and is suitable for carriers in the 24 to 38 ton weight class.

Operating at a maximum pressure of 5,076 psi and accepting maximum hydraulic flow of 79 gallons per minute, the DP 2800 utilizes a straight jaw design that allows the pulverizer’s jaws to open to a width of 35 inches. This wider opening enables the unit to handle larger pieces of debris, making the DP 2800 ideal for the primary demolition of light- to medium-reinforced concrete structures, secondary reduction and material separation.

The DP 2800 is constructed of robust components created through Finite Element Method (FEM) design, which adds durability by applying additional support components only where necessary. FEM ensures the attachment has the required strength to withstand the extreme loads of various demolition applications while keeping the unit lightweight.

An advanced speed valve on the DP 2800 allows shorter cycle times for increased production on the job site. The unit hydraulically rotates a full 360 degrees, allowing for more efficient operation and excellent handling, and a built-in rotation protection system reduces wear and tear on the carrier. Additionally, the pulverizer’s hydraulic cylinders are guarded for full protection from outside debris.

Replaceable teeth on the jaws are advantageous for those performing maintenance in the field, and the unit’s replaceable blades effectively cut rebar as the tool penetrates through concrete. The blades are also reversible to provide longer service life.
