Overview
Cat P300 Series Primary Pulverizers are designed for applications such as cutting, breaking, and crushing concrete structures during demolition.
Features At A Glance
- Cat pulverizer jaws are designed to cut through material quickly to enhance your machine’s overall operating efficiency and help reduce fuel consumption.
- Precisely position primary pulverizer jaws with 360-degree rotation and visibility to the moveable jaw during demolition.
- The Speed Booster valve actively balances speed and power, delivering fast cycle times and strong closing force to help increase productivity.
- Replaceable wear parts can be swapped quickly in the field and do not require surface welding to help reduce service time.
- Daily wear parts inspection and grease points are accessible from the ground with the pulverizer still mounted on the machine.
- Safely perform maintenance with easy access through one inspection panel.
- Hydraulic components are shielded from damage inside the housing, helping decrease downtime on the job site.
- Cat pulverizers are manufactured with high-strength, abrasion-resistant steel, especially in excessive wear areas.
- Reinforced cylinder rod hinges on the moveable jaw are designed to help boost durability and life of the pulverizer.
