Overview
Cat P300 Series Primary Pulverizers are designed for applications such as cutting, breaking, and crushing concrete structures during demolition.
Features At A Glance
HIGH PERFORMANCE
- 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.
EASY TO MAINTAIN
- 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.
RELIABILITY AND DURABILITY
- 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.
- The C-shaped cylinder guard provides extra protection against concrete demolition.
- Cat pulverizers have a versatile use across demolition applications, making them your choice for a wide variety of job sites.
BOOST EFFICIENCY AND PRODUCTIVITY WITH INTEGRATED TECHNOLOGIES
- Never waste time looking for your attachments again. Cat asset tracking is available on all pulverizers.
- Track your entire fleet of attachments and machines from one source. Pulverizers with asset tracking can be viewed within VisionLink®.
- Keep your assets secure. Pulverizers with an asset tracker send an alert if they leave an easy-to-set-up site boundary.
VERSATILITY AND CONVENIENCE WITH COUPLERS
- Share pulverizers and other attachments of the same size class across multiple machines by adding a quick coupler.
- Significantly reduce the time it takes to switch attachments when using a quick coupler.
- Quick couplers add a new level of safety to your job site with the ability to switch attachments while the operator stays in the cab with built-in redundancies to keep your attachments secure in the event of a pressure loss.
- A variety of couplers are available to suit your specific needs:
- Cat Pin Grabber Couplers – dedicated pin system
- CW Dedicated Couplers – wedge-style, dedicated system
- S Type Couplers – wedge-style, dedicated system
- Hydraulic Connecting CW Couplers – hydraulic connecting version of the CW coupler with instant hydraulic capability upon connection
- Hydraulic Connecting S Type Couplers – hydraulic connecting version of the S type coupler with instant hydraulic capability upon connection
