Ideal for primary demolition work on reinforced concrete structures, Indeco’s new IDC jaw has been designed in such a way that optimises the weight (7,200 kg) to power ratio for precise and efficient operation under all conditions and even at great heights.

The 3,350-mm-long, 610-mm-wide attachment has a maximum jaw opening of 1,800 mm, which is larger than that of similar products of the same class, said Indeco. The jaw depth is 1,300 mm.

The two large cylinders deliver the necessary force (350 bar) in every jobsite condition, fitted with highly durable seals that can withstand up to 700 bar. The cutter blade length is 200 mm, and the maximum cutting diameter is 70 mm.

The IDC jaw features full 360° hydraulic rotation, with a dual motor and protection valve. It is also equipped with a regeneration valve, which makes the jaw open faster (3-4 secs) and close faster (5-7 secs) under no-load conditions, shortening work cycles and increasing productivity.

What’s more, the IDC jaw’s innovative interchangeable teeth system, called ‘Indecobite’ (patent pending), speeds up maintenance operations and reduces machine downtime.

The first of a new family in the Indeco product range, the IDC primary demolition jaw will soon be working on a major job demolishing large structures in Australia for the City Circle Group, according to Indeco.
