Trevi Benne launches the new FR 18 which completes the range of rotating hydraulic crushers of the manufacturer from Noventa Vicentina

Trevi Benne for 2023 focuses on a brand new crusher. This is the FR 18 rotating crusher, which completes the range of hydraulic equipment currently divided into 12 models.The structural characteristics of the new Trevi Benne crusher allow the operator to deal with all the demolition phases with a single piece of equipment. Precise and fast like a pliers thanks to the continuous hydraulic rotation, powerful and productive thanks to the jaws typical of a breaker. The new FR 18 is an equipment designed to be even more performing and durable against the typical stresses of the demolition phases. In fact, the new FR 18 has been redesigned in terms of shape and is now definetly more reliable. This new 1,890 kg model has several technical aspects to be mentioned: a double engine set as standard for the rotary unit, threaded pins with increased diameter, new regenerator valve. They are designed to offer a reliable solution in both primary and secondary demolition. The presence of the speed multiplier valve also makes it extremely fast in all operating phases.

The structural changes

The new structural features of the FR18 allow the operator to get a precise and fast tool like a pliers thanks to the continuous hydraulic rotation but at the same time powerful and productive thanks to the jaws typical of a breaker.The structure has been strengthened and the profile is even more aggressive while the rotation has been strengthened with a double engine option. A new HD interchangeable tooth system has been provided and the crushing area of the jaw and frame has been increased to promote penetration and productivity. Welded anti-wear inserts have also been applied to protect the structure and the jaws have been redesigned which now have a profile designed to facilitate cleaning of the material on the ground.

The entire FR range

The demolition range dedicated to concrete is available both in the standard version and in the pressure multiplier version. The FR Premium range, in particular, offers sector specialists four models that increase efficiency and productivity on site. With operating weights from 2,130 to 4,000 kg they are suitable for coupling with excavators from 15 to 53 tonnes.

The Impact Booster valve

The Impact Booster valve, which characterizes the Premium lines of demolition equipment from the Veneto-based manufacturer, has also been installed on the FR18. It allows you to increase the operating pressure to 750 bar, thanks to a system that exploits the overpressure generated during use. The advantages in terms of efficiency are first of all a fuel consumption reduced by up to 20% and an opening and closing cycle that takes place in just 4 seconds. This is due to the small diameter of the drive cylinder. Performance, in terms of breaking force, increases by 25% compared to the standard versions.

A heavy duty machine

The FR Premium series has a completely revised structure according to the greater stresses induced by the increase in operating pressure. The increased performance required a frame and brake shoe with greater strength at the points of greatest stress. The rear of the chassis has been screened to prevent waste material from entering during demolition work. The operational performance of the FR Premium varies between 90 tons of breaking force at the tip of the FR18P model up to 150 tons of the FR38P. We reach 105 and 120 tons with the FR23P and the FR28P.
