Asphalt is one of the world’s most recycled materials. However, its potential remains untapped due to inefficient processing methods.
Allu aims to change that with the introduction of its asphalt bucket that turns milled material into a high-quality resource on-site, supporting greener, leaner infrastructure development.
The Allu Asphalt Bucket is a hybrid screening solution engineered specifically for processing cold-milled asphalt and reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) in a faster, cleaner, and more cost-effective way.
“Globally, there’s a clear shift toward sustainable infrastructure in construction business. Asphalt recycling plays a major role in this movement, and our new Allu Asphalt Bucket empowers contractors to turn reclaimed and cold-milled asphalt into high-quality, reusable material — directly on site,” said Peter Grönholm, CEO of Allu Finland Oy.
“It’s a smarter, more profitable way to work, and we’re proud to help drive this transformation across the industry.”
According to Allu, the Asphalt Bucket delivers a transformative advantage for contractors looking for smarter ways to reuse milled asphalt. This purpose-built attachment crushes clumps, screens fines and separates oversized particles, all in a single pass.
“At a time when efficiency, sustainability and profitability are key, the Allu Asphalt Bucket ticks all the boxes,” said Tom Chapman, Managing Director at MRD Plant, UK. “It does the job of a mobile impact crusher – but at a fraction of the cost and with far less complexity on-site.”
The asphalt bucket utilizes a hybrid blade configuration, a mix of screening and crushing blades, to fine-tune performance and achieve consistently high-quality end products. This combination allows operators to process cold-milled asphalt directly at the source without additional crushing equipment.
“The hybrid blade setup is what makes this bucket so effective — it delivers just the right mix of crushing force and fine screening to process asphalt efficiently in a single step,” Grönholm said.
With nominal screen sizes of 12 mm, 16 mm and 25 mm, the bucket can produce more than 95 per cent of finished material below target size, drastically reducing reprocessing needs.
As the attachment crushes and screens simultaneously, it eliminates the need for separate pre-crushing or secondary equipment. This, according to Allu, reduces reliance on mobile impact crushers, cutting fuel consumption, wear part expenses and overall ton-per-cost rates.
Asphalt Bucket models can deliver up to 250 tons per hour, with rapid drum change-outs thanks to the variable drum technology.
The Allu Asphalt Bucket is available in several sizes for 25-ton to 45-ton excavators and 15- ton to 30-ton wheel loaders. Its design includes a serrated cutting edge and reinforced frame, tailored for aggressive asphalt processing.
