Re:Generation Edition 01 New Demolition and recycling technology at Bauma 2022
Tech to keep everyone safe
Doosan’s Transparent Bucket
Caterpillar exhibited its Cat Command Station. This enables operators to work remotely and safely, seated in a virtual cab with familiar controls and display. Other tech from the company included Cat Grade with Assist for excavators uses machine position sensors and operator-defined depth and slope parameters to automate boom and stick movements, for more accurate cuts with less effort to help increase operator efficiency.
Doosan presented its ‘Transparent Bucket’ safety system, which provides a solution to prevent the danger of blind spots in front of the buckets of wheeled loaders. The show also provided a first look at the new DX27Z-7 (2.8 ton), DX35Z-7 (3.9 ton), DX50Z-7 (5.4 ton) and DX55R-7 (5.7 ton) Stage V compliant mini-excavators – all of which are described as ideal for confined space work.

Hyundai updated its mini excavator offer, with the launch of a range of EU Stage V machines – the A Series with operating weights from 1.7 to 5.5 tons. The extra demands of the waste and recycling sectors has led to the development of heavy-duty HD versions of the both the standard PZ-bar HL955AHD, with high tilt-back forces for heavier attachments, and the high-lift HL955AHDXT model with its extended lift arm reach. Eight new models join the recently unveiled HX10A Twin Drive micro excavator and the range-topping HX85A. Also new from Hyundai is the HL955AHD and HL955AHDXT wheeled loaders. These models have been specifically designed to handle severe applications, such as recycling and waste handling.
Epiroc launched its V-shaped drum cutter, as a new way to work with demolition, rock, concrete wall and surface profiling, and other applications. Mounting the drums in a V-shape enables a cut with a flat base and no material is left untouched between the drums. It works like a bucket, which the company says makes it easier to use, friendlier for the carrier, requires less energy and is less time consuming. Epiroc is introducing a smaller model suitable for carriers of 15 to 28 tons. It has also added a ‘tool on demand’ concept to its supply of working tools for hydraulic breakers. High-temperature applications require working tools in heat resistant vanadium steel, while other applications require longer tools or special shapes. Epiroc says it is now possible for the customer to order exactly what they need, in the size of their choice, with a variety of tool tip geometries.
German crushing and screening machine specialist Kleemann
demonstrated its Mobirex MR 130(i) Pro impact crusher. It is used as a primary and secondary crusher. The company’s Spective operating concept was also featured. The new impact crusher has an all-electric drive concept with the option of an external power supply for CO2-free operation. It covers a range of natural stone and recycling operations and includes a heavy rotor, electric 250 kW drive, and continuous feed system. Austrian mobile processing plant manufacturer Rubble Master focused on electrification. This included the RM 50X hybrid screen, RM 110X jaw crusher, and X Smart software solution. The company, which claims to have developed the compact crusher for recycling construction and demolition waste more than 30 years ago, said: “Even before steadily rising fuel prices, the electrification of machines was a key economic as well as ecological argument.
The world’s largest construction exhibition Bauma recently took place in Munich, and contained much to interest the global demolition community. We look at some of the most notable product launches.
Bobcat’s S86 and T86 loaders
Bobcat unveiled wheeled and tracked loaders and mini-excavators at the show, including four additions to the 5 to 8 ton category, and a number of new attachments.
Delivering a higher engine and hydraulic output, the Bobcat S86 and T86 are said to be the most powerful compact loaders the company has ever built. Both use a Stage V compliant 3.4 litre Bobcat engine, and have three different auxiliary flow outputs. Currently being tested, the Quad Track concept allows the wheels of selected Bobcat skid-steer loaders to be replaced with four individual track pods, effectively converting them into tracked loaders.
