Kinshofer has designed its Multi-Quick Processors to speed up demolition and recycling work and allow contractors to switch among a variety of jaw sets instead of buying several tools for different tasks.
The attachments for excavators and loader cranes of 18 to 65 tons boast best-in-class cycle times, jaw changeout times and power-to-weight ratio, the company says.
Kinshofer offers the following Multi-Quip Processor (MQP) jaw types:
- Combi jaw for primary demolition and a mixture of concrete and steel.
- Demolition jaw for primary demolition of heavy concrete structures.
- Pulverizer jaw for primary or secondary demolition, pulverizing concrete during or after the job, as well as some steel cutting.
- Steel jaw for primary and secondary demolition of steel structures and scrap.
- Tank Shear jaw for primary and secondary demolition, including demolition of tanks and cutting steel plates.
- Universal jaw for primary and secondary demolition of concrete decks.
- Wood jaw for cutting down trees in forestry applications.
In achieving top power-to-weight ratio, Kinshofer added four chambers to the MQP’s cylinder instead of two. This gives the device 25 percent more power, requiring fewer bites when breaking through a section of concrete, the company says.
Cycle times are as quick as 5 seconds due to faster jaw opening and closing speeds. Kinshofer says contractors can complete jobs as much as 20 percent faster.
Jaw changing is also faster and easier through the DermaLink system. Two of the attachment’s three pins can be removed hydraulically from the cab. That leaves only one pin to be removed manually.
The MQPs are equipped with twin rotation motors that increase rotation power and increase safety by preventing the attachment from shifting power on its own. A safety system also keeps pressure from building up too high in the rod cylinder. And rotation circuit filters catch small pieces of metal that can break off rotation motors and travel through the lines into the valve and then the tank, causing $10,000 to $20,000 in damage.
All wear parts on the attachment are designed to be easily replaced onsite, as well as crusher attachment teeth.
