A crusher for almost every rock
In the early 1960s the unique engine driven hammermill Rockbuster was developed to allow the use of rocks in their natural state in building roads in remote areas of Australia, and it quickly gained acceptance with government agencies and contractors.
Today's machine is significantly refined from the early design. Broons' modern BH-1220 Rockbuster is fitted with a powerful 210kW Caterpillar turbo charged and after cooled diesel engine. The crushing chamber is lined with removable wear plates, the improved hydraulics operate a number of functions and best of all, the machine is highly mobile.
Proven worldwide in Norway, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Southern Africa, Canada and Australia, the Rockbuster is setting the standard others only aim for.
