    ALLU Group mineral processing buckets: on-site recycling gains for mine engineers

    ALLU Group mineral processing buckets: on-site recycling gains for mine engineers

    First reported on Australian Mining

    30 Second Briefing

    ALLU Group has expanded its material processing bucket line-up with a new concrete screening and crushing attachment aimed at on-site recycling of construction and demolition waste. The unit combines screening and crushing in a single bucket, allowing excavators or loaders to process reinforced concrete, asphalt and rock without separate mobile crushers or screens. For mine and quarry operators, this can reduce haulage of oversize or waste material, cut reliance on fixed crushing circuits, and support backfilling or road-base production directly at the face.

    Technical Brief

    • New ALLU attachment is distributed in Australia by Total Rockbreaking Solutions for quarry and mining fleets.
    • Bucket is designed to handle heavily reinforced concrete without pre-separation of rebar on site.
    • Crushing and screening functions are integrated via replaceable modular wear components for different feed characteristics.
    • Attachment mounts on standard excavators and loaders, enabling use on existing mobile plant without extra powerpacks.
    • Unit targets processing of demolition arisings into graded material suitable for haul roads and temporary working platforms.
    • Wear-resistant construction is aimed at high-abrasion feeds such as basalt, granite and hard rock overburden.
    • For remote mines, on-face processing reduces dependence on fixed plants that are vulnerable to single-point failure.
    • Supplier positions the bucket as a retrofit upgrade path for existing ALLU material processing customers in Australia.

    Our Take

    Total Rockbreaking Solutions appears repeatedly in our database as a distributor for niche attachments (ALLU, SIMEX, Simex) in Australia, signalling that ALLU Group’s expanded mineral processing range is likely being plugged into an already well-established contractor and quarry customer base rather than built from scratch.

    The earlier coverage of ALLU screening and crushing buckets in Australian Mining suggests that extending the range into more mineral-processing-focused tools could let operators push further into in-pit or face-adjacent processing, reducing haulage of waste and oversize material on Australian sites.

    AML US$2m defence magnet contract: supply chain and design notes for engineers

    Advanced Magnet Lab has secured a US$2 million, two-year Defense Logistics Agency contract to qualify domestically produced high‑grade sintered NdFeB PM‑Wire magnets, including defence‑grade compositions such as N48SH and N35EH. The Florida firm will develop alloying, supply chain management and advanced manufacturing routes to scale permanent magnet production using its PM‑Wire process, which is designed to fit existing magnet‑making lines. AML is also progressing SmFeN, MnBi, anisotropic NdFeB and (Mischmetal‑Nd)FeB magnets, working with Phoenix Tailings, Ionic Rare Earths and Momentum to reduce critical rare earth content and improve material traceability.

    SSAB Oxelösund Q&T line: wear and protection steel gains for mine designers

    SSAB is investing SEK 3.3 billion over four years in a new quenching and tempering (Q&T) line at its Oxelösund plant to expand production of advanced wear and protection steels, including Hardox 500 Tuf and Armox grades. The Q&T line will be integrated within SSAB’s strategic capex programme and is intended to support higher volumes of ultra-high-strength plate for mining buckets, truck bodies and armour applications. For mine operators and OEMs, this signals increased availability of abrasion-resistant and ballistic-grade steels for lighter, longer-life equipment.

    Recticel insulation loop: PIR recycling plant impacts for design engineers

    Recticel has commissioned a PIR insulation recycling plant in Wevelgem, Belgium, designed to process up to 4,000 tonnes per year of post‑industrial PIR board offcuts and scrap into recycled polyol feedstock. The recovered polyol, used to manufacture new PIR boards, is expected to cut CO₂ emissions by 30–50% compared with virgin polyol, while reducing primary raw material demand. Boards incorporating the recycled content will be supplied from all Recticel plants, including UK facilities, giving specifiers a lower‑carbon option without changing product families.
