Reduce, recover, and reuse: these are the key principles behind Simex’s CBA range of asphalt granulator buckets, designed to optimize on-site processes and transform waste materials into valuable resources reducing costs, time, and environmental impact. In an era where efficiency and sustainability are increasingly central to construction practices, Simex provides a practical and innovative tool that directly contributes to both.
Developed for the volumetric reduction of asphalt slabs and other aggregates directly on site, the CBA buckets allow operators to recover milled material in full compliance with national regulations. By reintroducing the processed material back into the production cycle, contractors can significantly reduce costs, processing time, and environmental impact, achieving a smarter and more sustainable workflow.
Efficiency and sustainability in one tool
At the heart of every CBA bucket is a cylindrical drum equipped with interchangeable teeth, driven by high-displacement radial piston motors with direct drive. This advanced system ensures maximum performance, reliability, and productivity, even when working in demanding conditions.
By recovering and reusing milled asphalt as a certified bituminous mix, the CBA range supports the principles of the circular economy within the road construction industry.
Precise output size control
Another important advantage of the CBA range lies in its precise control over the particle size of the processed material. A rear grille regulates the output, which can be configured in several ways, with available diameters ranging from 0–20 mm to 0–40 mm. This level of flexibility allows operators to adapt easily to different project requirements, obtaining a uniform and certifiable end product suitable for various types of reuse.
Beyond asphalt: extreme versatility
Thanks to its sturdy and efficient milling drum, the equipment also performs exceptionally well with other construction aggregates, including bricks, concrete, and roof tiles. This means that the same tool can be used across multiple types of demolition or road maintenance projects, offering outstanding versatility and a fast return on investment.
An automatic drum rotation reversal system adds yet another layer of practicality. When a blockage occurs, the system instantly inverts the rotation of the drum, preventing downtime and ensuring uninterrupted productivity. This automatic function not only protects the equipment but also improves efficiency by keeping operations running smoothly under any conditions.
Three models for excavators from 12 to 40 tons
The Simex CBA range is available in three models, compatible with excavators from 12 to 40 tons. This variety makes it easy for contractors to choose the model that best suits their operational needs, whether for small-scale maintenance jobs or large infrastructure projects.
Each model embodies Simex’s commitment to innovation, combining advanced engineering with practical design. With these asphalt granulator buckets, the company delivers a smart, sustainable, and cost-effective solution for recovering and reusing materials directly on site — helping operators achieve better results while contributing to a more circular and responsible construction industry.
