The NYE Engine Block Cracker is a powerful attachment designed to break open engine blocks, gearboxes and other bulky metal components. By cracking engines before further processing, recyclers can quickly separate valuable materials such as aluminium and steel, improving recovery rates and overall scrap value. Engine block crackers are widely used in scrap yards, vehicle recycling facilities and metal processing operations to reduce engine blocks and prepare them for efficient recycling. Key Benefits • Designed for cracking engine blocks and bulky metal components • Ideal for scrap yards and vehicle dismantlers • Helps recover valuable metals from engine blocks • Reduces the size of heavy scrap for easier handling and sorting • Heavy-duty construction for demanding recycling environments Typical Applications • Engine blocks • Gearboxes • Automotive scrap components • Bulky ferrous and aluminium materials Typical Technical Overview (Specifications are typical for this type of machine and may vary depending on refurbishment and configuration) • Designed for excavator mounting • Typically suited for 16–24 tonne carrier machines • Approximate attachment weight around 2 tonnes • Hydraulic crushing system with heavy-duty cylinders • 360° hydraulic rotation for precise positioning • Heavy-duty steel construction with hardened crushing teeth Inspection & Refurbishment Available Our used machines can be supplied with: • Full inspection and testing • Hydraulic and mechanical checks • Replacement of worn components where required • Refurbishment and servicing • Fresh spray paint finish We cater to all budgets and operational needs by offering quality refurbished machines.
