Kobelco Construction Machinery USA, Houston, has available its SK210D multidismantling machine in North America. U.S. contractors first saw the SK210D at ConExpo-Con/Agg 2014 in Las Vegas in March, where Kobelco showcased the machine dismantling an automobile. Kobelco says it has manufactured more than 1,000 of the machines in Japan since 1979.
The company says its SK210D is popular in scrap metal yards where it can dismantle complex equipment that requires delicate handling such as automobiles, where environmental laws require that steps be taken to contain oils and other contaminates that may be harmful to the environment. The speed and accuracy of dismantling automobiles with the machine is increased ten-fold over hand dismantling, which saves on labor costs and minimizes the risk of fines. With the SK210D, dismantling can be handled by one machine and one operator.
The SK210 is the first of Kobelco’s demolition machines available in North America.
The SK210D is designed to take apart vehicle bodies, engines and other metal components with precise, safe and efficient operation. Two specialized crushers allow for different dismantling tasks:
- A multidismantling crusher is suited for small-scale separating and sorting of all types of metal, including electrical fittings and harnesses; and
- An optional vehicle-dismantling crusher offers a powerful grab, increased cutting force and a rotational torque, powerful enough to cut through a chassis and frame. The Kobelco Innovation clamp arm features a bowl-shaped grip and power cutting teeth with different shapes on both sides to enable efficient bending, breaking and tearing.
Kobelco says its SK210D multidismantling machine offers a powerful and practical solution to nearly any demolition dismantling task through the use of rugged design, a comfortable operator cab and controls and an energy-efficient engine and hydraulic system.
Kobelco Construction Machinery USA produces a full range of crawler excavators in the 3,000-pound to 184,000-percent classes for the rental, landscape, construction, aggregate, road building, material handling, site preparation, recycling and ancillary markets.
