Part 1: Engineering Excellence - The Core of the GCH-10 Crusher Pulverizer

At the heart of the GCH-10 lies a philosophy of intelligent, power-dense design. Every dimension and component is optimized to deliver maximum force and durability within a compact and manageable form factor, perfectly suited for its carrier class.

Technical Specifications & Design Philosophy:

• Model: GCH-10 Crusher Pulverizer / Demolition Shear

• Weight: 300 kg – An optimal weight that ensures stability and optimal performance without overburdening the 5-10 ton excavator’s hydraulic system or lifting capacity.

• Jaw Opening: 350 mm – A versatile width capable of gripping standard rebar, concrete chunks, I-beams, and a wide range of demolition debris.

• Overall Dimensions (LxH): 1200 mm x 750 mm – A compact profile that enhances visibility for the operator and allows for work in confined spaces.

• Rated Operating Pressure: 230 Bar – Engineered to work efficiently with the standard hydraulic pressure of its target excavator class, ensuring compatibility and protecting carrier systems.

• Crushing Force: 83 Tons – An exceptional force-to-weight ratio, enabling it to crack thick concrete, shear reinforced steel, and compact materials with authority.

• Carrier Compatibility: 5-10 Ton Excavators – Ideal for compact carriers like the Kubota U35/U55, Takeuchi TB/TB series, Yanmar VIO/VOE, and similar models.

Key Engineering Features:

1. High-Strength, Abrasion-Resistant Steel Construction: The main body and crucial components are fabricated from specially treated, high-yield-strength steel. Critical wear points, such as the jaw tips and pivot pins, are fortified with replaceable hardened steel wear parts or overlays, dramatically extending service life and reducing long-term operating costs.

2. Advanced Cylinder & Sealing Technology: The heart of the crushing force is a precision-engineered hydraulic cylinder equipped with high-grade seals designed to withstand high pressure (230 Bar) and pressure spikes. This ensures consistent, powerful jaw closure and longevity even under continuous, demanding cycles.

3. Efficient Jaw Geometry & Tooth Design: The jaws feature an optimized geometry that creates a powerful "scissoring" action. Interlocking, replaceable teeth ensure positive grip on irregular materials (concrete slabs, rubble) while flattened or pointed tips on the opposing jaw provide effective shearing and piercing for metal. This design maximizes material fracture and separation.

4. 360-Degree Continuous Rotation (Optional/Compatible Setup): When paired with a suitable excavator tilt rotator (a common setup in modern demolition), the GCH-10 can rotate continuously. This allows the operator to position the jaws at the perfect angle for any task—crucial for cutting beams, pulling material, or working in tight corners—without constantly repositioning the excavator arm, thereby saving immense time and fuel.

5. Streamlined Hydraulic Circuit Integration: Designed for quick and easy connection via standard hydraulic hammer lines/auxiliary hydraulics on your excavator. Its flow and pressure requirements are meticulously calibrated for 5-10 ton machines, ensuring smooth, responsive control and preventing potential damage from over-specification.

Part 2: Principle of Operation - Versatility Through Force and Geometry

The GCH-10 operates on a fundamental yet highly effective principle: the conversion of hydraulic power from the excavator's auxiliary circuit into immense, focused mechanical force through a leveraged jaw mechanism.

• The Power Cycle: Hydraulic oil at 230 Bar is directed into the cylinder. The cylinder rod extends, pivoting the movable jaw towards the fixed jaw.

• Force Multiplication: The leverage designed into the jaw linkage system multiplies the linear force from the cylinder into the massive 83-ton tip force. This force is concentrated onto a small contact area (the teeth), creating extreme pressure that exceeds the compressive or shear strength of most construction materials.

• Dual-Action Effectiveness: This mechanism enables two primary actions:

  • Crushing/Pulverizing: When applied to concrete or rock, the force causes compressive failure, cracking and fragmenting the material into manageable pieces.

  • Shearing/Cutting: When the jaws close on steel sections (rebar, beams, plates), the focused force and sharp jaw geometry cause a shearing failure, cleanly cutting through the metal.

This combination of sheer power and intelligent jaw design is what makes the GCH-10 a true multi-tool, eliminating the need for multiple single-purpose attachments.

Part 3: The Unparalleled Application Spectrum of the GCH-10

Here is where the GCH-10 truly shines. Its design makes it indispensable across numerous sectors, providing a rapid return on investment through diverse revenue streams.

1. Building & Demolition:

• Building Demolition: Executes precise, non-explosive demolition of factories, apartments, and commercial buildings. It can nibble away at concrete slabs, shear steel columns, and cut through reinforced walls, allowing for selective salvage and reduced dust/noise compared to wrecking balls.

• Interior Refurbishment: Perfect for bathroom/kitchen remodels, precisely removing concrete subfloors or partition walls without damaging adjacent structures, thanks to the operator's fine control.

• Bridge & Infrastructure Decommissioning: Mounted on a long-reach excavator, it can safely segment and dismantle bridge decks, parapets, and piers in a controlled manner.

2. Scrap & Material Recycling:

• Vehicle Dismantling: Efficiently shears car bodies, engine blocks, and chassis, liberating high-value metals (steel, aluminum) from plastics and contaminants, preparing clean feed for shredders.

• Industrial Plant Dismantling: Processes old machinery, storage tanks, and structural steel from decommissioned power plants or factories.

• WEEE (E-Waste) Processing: Crushes and opens large white goods (refrigerators, washing machines) to separate internal components for specialized recycling.

3. Quarry & Mining Support:

• Primary Reduction: Breaks oversize boulders at the primary face or feeder, preventing crusher jams and improving overall processing plant flow.

• Equipment Maintenance: Used in workshop settings to break down and process worn-out, massive castings like mill liners or crusher jaws for scrap.

4. Emergency Response & Disaster Relief:

• Urban Search and Rescue (USAR): Mounted on a compact excavator, it can be deployed into collapsed building sites to carefully cut through reinforced concrete debris and twisted steel, creating access tunnels for rescue teams.

• Hazardous Incident Containment: Enables remote dismantling of damaged chemical containers or pipeline sections, minimizing human exposure to danger.

5. Specialized Industrial Applications:

• Shipbreaking: A cost-effective tool for cutting hull plates and internal structures in smaller shipbreaking yards or for secondary processing.
