ALLU launch new Asphalt Bucket
Latest attachment specially designed for on-site crushing and screening of reclaimed/milled asphalt
ASPHALT is one of the world’s most recycled materials, yet much of its potential remains untapped due to inefficient processing methods.
In response, ALLU have introduced the latest addition to their product range – the ALLU Asphalt Bucket – a powerful, hybrid screening solution designed specifically for processing cold-milled asphalt and reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) more quickly, cleanly, and cost-effectively.
‘Globally, there’s a clear shift toward sustainable infrastructure in construction,’ said Peter Grönholm, chief executive officer of ALLU Finland Oy.
‘Asphalt recycling plays a major role in this movement, and our new ALLU Asphalt Bucket empowers contractors to turn reclaimed and cold-milled asphalt into high-quality, reusable material directly on site. It’s a smarter, more profitable way to work, and we’re proud to help drive this transformation across the industry.’
As municipalities, contractors, and asphalt producers seek smarter ways to recycle milled asphalt, the ALLU Asphalt Bucket offers a transformative advantage. The purpose-built attachment crushes clumps, screens fines, and separates oversized particles all in a single pass.
‘At a time when efficiency, sustainability, and profitability are key, the ALLU Asphalt Bucket ticks all the boxes,’ commented Tom Chapman, managing director of MRD Plant. ‘It does the job of a mobile impact crusher, but at a fraction of the cost and with far less complexity on site.’
The Asphalt Bucket utilizes a hybrid blade configuration – a mixture of screening and crushing blades to fine-tune performance and achieve consistently high-quality end-products. This combination allows operators to process cold-milled asphalt directly at the source without additional crushing equipment.
‘The hybrid blade setup is what makes this bucket so effective; it delivers just the right mix of crushing force and fine screening to process asphalt efficiently in a single step,’ said Peter Grönholm.
With nominal screen sizes of 12mm, 16mm, and 25 mm, the bucket can produce over 95% of finished material below the target size, significantly reducing reprocessing needs.
Key benefits of the Asphalt Bucket include one-step operation, which crushes and screens simultaneously, eliminating the need for separate pre-crushing or secondary equipment. It is also said to deliver up to 250 tons/h, with rapid drum change-outs thanks to the OEM’s variable drum technology.
The ALLU Asphalt Bucket is available in several sizes suitable for excavators in the 25-45 ton class and wheel loaders in the 15-30 ton class. The high-performance solution offers lower total costs by reducing reliance on mobile impact crushers, cutting fuel consumption, wear part expenses, and overall ton-per-cost rates.
