Model ALLU DN 3-17 TS16/32

Müller Beton Magdeburg relies on a powerful solution when processing cohesive soil: the DN 3-17 TS16/32 screening bucket. The demands on the screening result are high – the soil must be finely processed, but not crushed too much, as this can quickly become problematic with such a material.

The local soil is quite unique: it contains clay and loam, is heavy, and tends to form large clumps. Such cohesive soils place high demands on any type of screening or separation technology – not every bucket or shaft can handle it.

Over time, the company has tested a variety of screening buckets with different shaft shapes and screen sizes – including those from other manufacturers. In the end, ALLU impressed across all relevant points.

“The ALLU bucket does exactly what we need: not too coarse, not too fine – just right for this soil,” explains Mr. Kusebach, Managing Director of Müller Beton Magdeburg.

In addition to screen quality, daily performance on the job site was also a key factor: “A bucket from another manufacturer did provide a finer result, but just didn’t process enough material – and that’s not cost-effective on the job site. With ALLU, both quality and efficiency are spot on.”

Successful use over several years

The ALLU DN 3-17 TS16/32 has now been in use at Müller Beton for three years. It is paired with a Hitachi excavator, which has proven effective in day-to-day operations. The team is also familiar with other ALLU models previously used through rental.

“We’ve tested various separators – but with our heavy, clay-rich soil, ALLU clearly worked the best.”

With ALLU, Müller Beton has found an economical and reliable solution to process even demanding materials efficiently – another example of successful ALLU separator usage in real-world conditions.

    Model ALLU DH3-17 TS 25 with double TS50 Axe blades

    Kurdeez Minerals, based in Victoria, Australia, produces a range of natural products for soil improvement in agriculture, horticulture, and more. Their products are widely used in crop and biological farming to enhance soil quality and animal health. But they encountered a significant challenge in breaking down lime lumps to meet the 4mm size required for sale.

    After a successful trial with Walkers Hammers using the ALLU DN 2-12 TS 25, Kurdeez Minerals invested in the ALLU DH3-17 TS 25 with double TS50 Axe blades. The ALLU unit not only broke down the lime lumps but also improved the flow of material into the ASTEC screener, significantly boosting productivity.

    ALLU’s impact on Kurdeez Minerals can be seen in five key areas:

    1. Increasing overall productivity.
    2. Efficiently breaking down lime lumps.
    3. Streamlining material flow into the screener.
    4. Aerating the material during the process.
    5. Delivering long-term reliability, even after five months of use.

    Aidan, the quarry manager, was thrilled:

    “This is the best attachment I have ever worked with after using it for 5 months.”

    ALLU helped Kurdeez Minerals improve their lime screening process

    The addition of ALLU allowed Kurdeez to optimize their entire process, getting more done with fewer headaches and delivering higher-quality products to their customers.

    The experience shows how the right equipment can turn challenges into opportunities, helping a business thrive with greater efficiency and ease. With ALLU, Kurdeez Minerals unlocked the full potential of their existing equipment, turning a slow, frustrating process into a highly productive and efficient workflow. This success highlights the power of smart investment in the right tools! We’re proud to have been part of Kurdeez Minerals’ journey and thank them for allowing us to share their success story.

    Function

    Model DN 3-17 25

    Problem

    Ware Excavator Inc in USA recognised that Topsoil is in demand in the area, yet there are limited suppliers. ALLU Transforms the raw material

    Solution

    ALLU Group Inc based in NJ works through a dealer network. CAT Stowers is our local ALLU dealer and they offered us the perfect solution. We brought a wheel loader to do pipework’s, but then added the ALLU Transformer. Initially I wasn’t sure on how long this would take to pay back for the ALLU, but within 6 months it has transformed our business model!

    Benefit

    Our main business was in commercial and residential developments. The wheel loader we brought from CAT Stowers was to do pipework’s. Since we added the ALLU for screening the soil, the CAT wheel loader only left the yard once! It no longer leaves the yard; it remains on site to screen the dirt which is much more effective and profitable. On average we do 10 loads a day making $600 per load. It’s much more profitable. Our original business model haling for a customer’s we were lucky to make $50 per load, by the time we had paid the taxes, and costs. ALLU Transformer has given us a stable other income and is becoming our prime focus. Local landscapers, building contractors, City of Cleveland, Cleveland utilities, now come and take the raw material we made with the ALLU and it makes it look nice and need and new for their projects. I’m so happy that we have also invested in a 5-17FD Crusher and now do Asphalt and concrete recycling too. ALLU has transformed my business, cutting down our transport costs, operating costs and increasing our profits by far! I’m happy with the ALLU Transformer, its reliable, efficient solution which has increased our productivity and business profits. We have now bought some more land to expand our business using the ALLU. WARE EXCAVATOR WITH CAT STOWERS AND ALLU

    Problem

    Non-native species, which could destroy native fauna and flora, were found growing in a nature reserve. In order to keep the nature reserve intact and to preserve its biodiversity, the invasive plants had to be separated from the soil which would then be returned to the ground.

    Solution

    The surface layer of the earth was removed using a backhoe bucket, which removed the non-native species with their roots intact. The ALLU Transformer screening bucket was then used to screen the material and to separate the soil from the contaminants which was then reinserted into the ground and plant residue removed.

    Benefit

    The ALLU Transformer screening bucket was an effective solution for removing the non-native species, proving in a limited space to be a highly mobile space-saving solution.   TRANSFORMING YOUR GREEN CREDENTIALS.
