An HP 18000 for primary crushing
The new HP hydraulic breaker is the biggest built to date. With several of the models already sold around the world, this giant breaker has also earned plaudits from several Italian quarry owners.
Introduced in 2008 in Europe at the last Samoter trade exhibition and in North America during the Conexpo, the HP 18000 has inevitably prompted interest of users having to deal with complex applications (e.g., hardness of the materials, volume of work) or who plan to make a significant reduction in their use of explosives. A case in point is the Marocca Group, whose numerous activities include operation of one of the most important limestone quarries in Central Italy located in Anagni outside Frosinone.
