Case Study: On-Site Recycling in Belgium with the CR400 Crusher

Belgium

The Challenge

A contractor working on a demolition and rebuild project in Belgium was faced with a familiar problem: a large volume of leftover rubble and debris from the demolition phase. Traditionally, this material would need to be removed from site at significant cost, only for new hardcore to be purchased and delivered back to site for use as foundations and pathways.

The customer recognised this as a waste of both money and energy and began searching for a more sustainable and cost-effective solution.

The Solution

The contractor contacted Gert de Bruijn of GenG Green Tech, Dragon Equipment’s BeNeLux importer, to explore on-site recycling options. Gert recommended bringing the Dragon Equipment CR400 Crusher directly to the site to process the demolition rubble into reusable hardcore.

The CR400 Crusher was delivered to site in a van and hired by the customer for just two days.

The Results

Despite challenging winter conditions — including very cold January weather and snow on the ground — the CR400 Crusher performed flawlessly.

Over the two-day hire period, the customer successfully:

  • Processed all demolition rubble on site

  • Created a clean, usable pile of hardcore ready for foundations and pathways

  • Eliminated disposal costs entirely

  • Avoided the need to purchase and transport new hardcore materials

The only costs incurred were the costs to hire the machine, and the labour to feed it.

Why the CR400 Crusher Made the Difference

  • Compact & Lightweight: Easily transported to site in a van

  • All-Terrain Tracks: Excellent site access, even in winter conditions

  • Highly Manoeuvrable: Simple to reposition for efficient loading

  • On-Site Processing: No double handling of materials, saving time and effort

Customer Feedback

The customer was extremely satisfied with the outcome, highlighting the significant cost savings, reduced environmental impact, and ease of use of the CR400 Crusher. Even in harsh weather conditions, the machine proved reliable and efficient.

Conclusion

This project demonstrates how the Dragon Equipment CR400 Crusher enables contractors to recycle demolition waste directly on site - saving money, reducing waste, and improving sustainability. With its compact design and robust performance, the CR400 is an ideal solution for projects where space, access, and efficiency are critical.

Guest Blog: On-Site Crushing with the CR450 Diesel Crusher

By Rob Edwards from Landscape Design and Construction

My clients bought a property that had been empty for a number of years. We were given the contract to sort the outside out, after major building work they were left with a mound of waste concrete, bricks and slabs.

It was going to cost a lot of money to shift it to the road side and pay for grab lorries to take it away. As rubble was going to be required for a large patio area and paths as part of the Landscape project it was clearly more cost effective and environmentally friendly as possible to crush the waste on site.

We always look to using local companies and British built equipment to assist us with our work. We came across Neil at JTC Crushing and he was very helpful and arranged for the Dragon Equipment CR450 Crusher to be available for us to use.

We run JCB excavators because they are British and were pleased to have a British built Crusher which was a brilliant bit of kit.

We ran the machine from 8am to 6pm all-day and only stopped it once to refuel around 4pm.

We found the CR450 Crusher very well made, good engineering and design with many good features and accessories like the added hydraulics for a breaker pack and the water feed to stop dust if required.

We thought the tracks struggled a bit with muddy conditions and a step would be useful for accessing the hopper.

In advance to the crusher arriving we used our breaker on the JCB to get the material to the right size for the crusher and piled it up out of the mud ready to feed the crusher.

This meant all we needed to do on the day was just load the crusher with the JCB.

We would have no hesitation in recommending this company and it's products and will be using the crusher on the next project.

Comment from Dragon Equipment: Thanks for taking the time be our guest blogger this month Rob. Its great to hear what a different the Crusher made to your job, and thank you for the honest, real-life feedback on the crusher!

Why our compact tracked machines excel in winter conditions

Winter ground conditions are one of the biggest limiting factors on productivity across construction, landscaping, forestry and demolition. Saturated soil, mud, frost and uneven surfaces make access more difficult and increase the risk of machines becoming bogged down or damaging finished ground. In these conditions, machine design plays a critical role in determining whether work can continue efficiently or must be delayed.

Our compact tracked machines are specifically suited to winter ground conditions because they distribute weight more evenly than wheeled equipment. Lower ground pressure reduces sinking on soft or waterlogged surfaces, helping machines maintain traction while minimising site damage. This is particularly important on residential projects, landscaped areas or restricted access sites where ground recovery time is limited.

Tracks also provide consistent grip in conditions where wheels struggle. Mud, loose material and light snow can all reduce tyre effectiveness, whereas a tracked system maintains contact with the ground across a larger surface area. This improves stability and control, especially on slopes or uneven terrain that become more hazardous during winter months.

Our tracked power barrows are particularly effective when ground conditions prevent the use of wheeled dumpers. Their ability to move material steadily across mud, inclines and soft ground helps maintain workflow on site. Similarly, our tracked lifters provide stable lifting capability without the excessive ground impact associated with heavier equipment. Plus, our tracked crushers provide the crushing power of a much larger machine, within a compact, non-invasive footprint.

For winter work, good practice includes keeping tracks clear of compacted mud and debris, as build-up can reduce traction and accelerate wear. Regular inspection of track tension and undercarriage components helps ensure reliable performance throughout the colder months. With the right machine choice and basic care, winter ground conditions do not have to bring productivity to a halt.

Guest Blog: My Experience with the Dragon CR450 Crusher

JTC Crushing

By Neil Carter from JTC Crushing

I bought my Dragon CR450 Diesel Crusher back in July 2025, and it’s fair to say it’s been busy ever since. I’ve been in the crushing game for a long time, and I know a solid bit of kit when I see one - and this one’s a cracker.

The CR450 is compact, powerful, and designed and built right here in the UK, which really makes a difference. It means all the back-up, parts, and servicing are done in the UK too. If I ever need anything, I can just pick up the phone and speak directly to the Dragon Equipment team - not that I’ve had any issues so far!

At under 1,500Kg, it’s easy to move around. I can track it straight onto my trailer and tow it behind my pickup with no trouble. The 33-litre fuel tank goes a long way - most hirers can get a full day (or more) of crushing out of one tank, which keeps things simple and efficient.

Maintenance is a breeze too. There’s just one grease point to hit each day, and if I ever need to do more, all the guards come off easily, giving me full access to the Kubota engine and everything else. It’s been well thought-out and built for people who actually use these machines day in, day out.

I mostly hire the crusher out for week-long jobs at £850 per week, though I do offer day hires at £275 and weekend hires at £450–£500. On average, the crusher’s out on hire three weeks out of every four, so it’s earning its keep! So far, it’s clocked up over 230 hours, and it’s still going strong - no complaints from me or my customers.

People are often shocked by how much this compact crusher can get through in a day. It might be small, but it doesn’t hold back. I’m actually at the point now where I’m thinking about getting a second CR450, just to keep up with the demand.

All in all, the Dragon Equipment CR450 Diesel Crusher has been a great investment - reliable, easy to run, and backed up by a great UK team. Can’t ask for much more than that.

Comment from Dragon Equipment: Thanks for being our guest blogger this month Neil, it’s great to hear how invaluable the CR450 Crusher is becoming to your business!

Case Study: Half-Day Domestic Job with the CR300 Crusher

Spen Valley

Yorkshire Mini Crusher Hire recently demonstrated how our CR300 Crusher can deliver serious value, even on smaller domestic jobs. Using the compact and powerful CR300 Crusher, Chris completed a half-day crushing service, saving his customer both time and money while helping to reduce waste and environmental impact.

The Challenge

A homeowner working on a small domestic project needed several tonnes of aggregate, they also had several tonnes of hardcore waste to dispose of. Typically, this would involve:

  • Hiring a 4-yard skip (£160)

  • Purchasing 3.5 bulk bags of new aggregate (£140)

That’s a total spend of £300, not including the environmental cost of transporting and disposing of material. Domestic sites also, often come with tight access restrictions, making it difficult to bring in larger equipment or skips.

The Solution

Yorkshire Mini Crusher Hire provided their CR300 Crusher for a half-day hire at £160. The CR300’s 700mm width allowed it to access the domestic site with ease - no need for heavy equipment or complicated logistics.

During the session, the team crushed the existing hardcore material directly on-site, producing clean, reusable aggregate.

The Results

  • Skip Hire Saved: £160

  • Aggregate Purchase Saved: £140

  • Total Customer Saving: £140

  • Job Completed in Half a Day

  • Zero Waste Transported Off-Site

The resulting crushed material was reused on-site as aggregate, eliminating the need to buy new material. The job not only saved the customer money but also kept waste out of landfill - a perfect example of practical recycling and sustainable construction.

Plus, Chris had a very satisfied customer: “You were an absolutely god send for me today. Thank you ever so much. You were professional from the first message of contact and throughout. I was extremely pleased with how tidy you left everything and blowing the dust of the cars that were around was an added brownie point. Thank you ever so much I would highly recommend you to everyone !!!”

Why It Matters

This project highlights how the CR300 Crusher adds value to small-scale domestic jobs. It’s cost-effective, environmentally responsible, and easy to use even in tight spaces.

Yorkshire Mini Crusher Hire’s quick, efficient service shows how our CR300 Crusher helps operators across the UK deliver professional results while supporting a circular economy.

Maximising Throughput with Smart Positioning

When it comes to crushing and processing material on site, efficiency is everything. A well-planned setup not only saves time but also reduces operator fatigue, fuel usage, and unnecessary machine movement. This video highlights a perfect example of how smart positioning of both the crusher and loader/excavator can drastically improve productivity.

By carefully placing the crusher and loader, the operator has a clear line of sight to the crushing box at all times. This ensures that material is fed in smoothly and that the process can be closely monitored without guesswork. At the same time, the operator is able to keep control of the output pile, clearing it as needed to avoid blockages or downtime.

The real benefit here is that the entire process can be carried out without the operator leaving the cab of the excavator. From loading the rubble pile into the crusher, to adjusting and managing the crushed output, every step can be done efficiently from a single position. This not only keeps the worksite flowing but also improves safety by reducing the need for the operator to be on the ground near heavy machinery.

In practical terms, this setup means:

  • Continuous throughput with minimal interruptions

  • Improved safety as the operator remains in the cab

  • Reduced downtime by keeping the output pile under control

  • Greater efficiency by minimising machine repositioning

  • Better fuel economy as every movement counts

This approach is a textbook example of working smarter, not harder. By optimising machine placement, operators can make the most of their equipment, reduce wear and tear, and maximise throughput with less effort.

Whether you’re running a small-scale site or a larger operation, learning from examples like this can help streamline your crushing and loading processes, ultimately leading to higher productivity and cost savings.

Case study: A mountain of rubble - working farm

What was the project?

Farm-owner Matt had a mountain of rubble that had built up over some time. He needed to crush it down to use as hard core in various places on the farm. Due to the size and spread of the rubble pile he wanted something that was manoeuvrable around the pile of rubble, rather than having to barrow or carry the rubble to a machine. He also needed a machine that could be hand loaded, as he needed to sort the concrete and bricks from the Thermalite blocks that were mixed in with the rubble, and not suitable to use as hard core.

Before - a mountain of rubble

Before - a mountain of rubble

Why use a Dragon Equipment machine?

Matt hired a CR300 Crusher for 3 days. At under 725kg, it was delivered in a trailer, made secure by
the multiple tie-down points.

The robust tracking and simple controls on the CR300 Crusher meant it was quick and easy for Matt to move the machine over and around the pile of rubble, covering ground quickly and efficiently.

The 300mm loading mouth made it easy, but also safe to feed by hand, ensuring only the concrete and bricks went through the crusher’s jaws.

Running a farm, Matt’s time is precious, and he needed a machine that was efficient and effective, and able to work as hard as he does – the CR300 Crusher’s no-stress feature eliminates jamming, and the wasted time associated with having to stop, unblock and restart the machine.

Case study: Reusing material and time saving - domestic garden path

Suffolk

What was the project?

Jeff had broken out his old garden path (30msq) and was now faced with a mound of rubble that need removing in order to lay a new path. There was a distance of about 50m between where the rubble was, and the closest point a skip could be delivered - a 100m round trip per barrow. The same again to bring in new hardcore for the path base - this would take one man roughly one day to complete.

Before - a mound of broken concrete ready to be crushed

Why use a Dragon Equipment machine?

For the project, The Dragon Equipment CR300 Crusher was the perfect time-saving machine. Working alone, Jeff was able to feed the machine, collect the crushed concrete directly into his barrow to wheel and tip straight into the base of the new path – going from rubble mound to path base in one hour.

The CR300 Crusher offers 3 output sizes, for the user to set depending on the project. For his path base, Jeff chose the second size, which was perfect for the base, and the machine ensured it was all consistently crushed to the perfect size.

The machine was not only time and cost effective for this project, it also recycled the old path into the new, dramatically reducing the waste produced.
