Indeco recently expanded its range of IDC primary demolition crushers to accommodate machines of different capacities and enhance their operational versatility.
The expansion follows the launch of the IDC 70 within he series at the last Bauma exhibition in Munich, Germany.
With the IDC series, Indeco said it is broadening its offering in the primary demolition crusher segment, making IDC family of attachments compatible with an even wider range of excavators. The expansion has been done because of the increasing need for specialised attachments on machines with smaller capacities.
The first IDC 70 is for excavators up to 120tonnes, with a force-at-tip of up to 180tonnes and a jaw opening of up to 180mm. The range now includes include smaller models, while maintaining the same high-performance standards. The series currently includes six models, from the IDC 11 to the IDC 70, covering a range of machines from around 10-120tonnes.
The new entries range from the IDC 11 that is designed for 10tonne excavators, weighing around 900kg, with a force-at-tip of 50tonnes and a jaw opening of 850mm. There is the IDC 42, which works on 40tonne machines with a force-at-tip of 13tonnes and an opening of up to 1,500mm.
In between are solutions such as the IDC 16 designed for excavators up to 13tonnes (with force-at-tip of 75tonnes and a maximum jaw openings of up to 1,000mm),
The IDC 21 is ideal for excavators up to 20tonnes (with force-at-tip of 90tonnes and a maximum jaw openings of up to 1,150mm).
Meanwhile, the IDC 30 is suited for 28tonne excavators (with force-at-tip of 110tonnes and a maximum jaw openings of up to 1,300mm).
Together, Indeco said the range offers operational continuity and application scalability across a variety of working environments.
Primary demolition requires attachments capable of decisive intervention even in the early stages of demolition, when reinforced concrete structures, pillars, beams and partitions need to be demolished with strength, precision and reliability. It is precisely in this context that the IDC series finds its natural fit, offering a technical solution designed for the most demanding applications. The expansion of the range to include models designed for smaller machines now broadens the scope of application, opening up new operational scenarios both on large construction sites and in urban environments, where space constraints, accessibility and logistics often necessitate the use of more compact machines. One of the most significant aspects of this evolution is compatibility with machines of different capacities.
Customers ,can more precisely select the right combination of excavator and attachment for the type of work being performed. In other words, primary demolition becomes more flexible, with advantages in terms of fleet management, resource optimization, and work specialisation.
Operationally, a key role is played by the maximum jaw opening, a parameter that directly impacts the crusher’s ability to grasp structural elements of various sizes. A large opening allows a more effective work in the initial stages of demolition, facilitating the grip of the structure and contributing to a faster and more regular work cycle. On the construction site, this translates into an improved ability to tackle complex configurations, irregular cross-sections and structures that require a wide and secure grip from the first strike.
Equally important is the maximum force-at-tip This value determines the crusher’s ability to concentrate its force at the initial point of contact with the material. In primary demolition, force-at-tip is a decisive factor because it affects penetration, fracture and the speed with which the equipment can “enter” the structure. High performance in this regard allows for more effective penetration of concrete and reinforcing steel which improves the machine’s overall performance in the most demanding applications.
Completing the technical profile of the IDC series are the interchangeable INDECOBITE teeth. This solution responds to a very specific need for those who work daily in demolition. It reduces machine downtime and simplifies maintenance of the parts which are most subject to wear. The ability to quickly replace the teeth allows the crusher’s operating efficiency to be maintained over time, thus preserving its grip and penetration capacity, even in particularly harsh working conditions. It is one of those design details that, in practice, directly impact productivity and overall operating costs.
With IDC range extension, Indeco strengthens the presence of the IDC series in a market that demands increasingly high-performance yet versatile equipment. They must be capable of adapting to different machines, job sites and applications. This expansion into smaller excavator attachments represents not just a new catalogue option, but a specific industrial choice. It offers operators a specialised tool for primary demolition that can be more easily integrated into heterogeneous fleets and increasingly diverse work scenarios.
In a sector where productivity, adaptability and operational continuity increasingly make the difference for a successful project, the expansion of the IDC series confirms Indeco’s focus on the real needs of job sites. This is greater machine compatibility, greater application flexibility and efficiency-oriented technical solutions.
