Engineering the Extreme: The THOR-2.4 Mulcher Structural Advantage

The specialized design of the THOR-2.4 Mulcher / Stone Crusher is paramount for managing the intense kinetic energy involved in breaking rock, reinforcing our expertise as mechanical engineers.

High-Torque Drivetrain for 180 CV Power Input

The drive system is engineered to absorb and utilize the formidable power from the 180 CV minimum HP tractor. This high power is necessary to maintain the rotational speed of the heavy rotor and the multiple tungsten-carbide hammers while simultaneously encountering and shattering dense rock. The robust PTO system is designed for minimal energy loss and maximum endurance under continuous high stress, making the THOR-2.4 Mulcher one of the most reliable Stone Crusher Mulcher for Sale in the segment.

The Drawbar Kit Difference (Mobility & Stability)

The inclusion of the Kit Drawbar (for towing) is a critical feature that elevates the THOR-2.4 Mulcher above standard 3-point hitch models. By allowing the unit to be towed rather than fully supported by the three-point linkage, the Drawbar Kit enhances:

1. Maneuverability: Improves turning radius and steering control in tight headlands or complex terrain.

2. Stability: Distributes the 2300 Kg mass more evenly, leading to consistent rotor engagement and depth control at the slow 3 km/h working speed.

3. Stress Reduction: Minimizes dynamic shock loads transferred back to the tractor’s linkage, protecting the prime mover.

Heavy-Mass 2300 Kg Frame and Tungsten-Carbide Rotor

The significant 2300 Kg mass  is intentionally built into the frame to counteract the massive upward forces generated when shattering stone. The heavy frame acts as a shock absorber and stabilizer, ensuring the rotor stays engaged with the ground. The hammers utilize premium Tungsten-Carbide tips, providing maximum resistance to abrasion and impact for prolonged longevity when crushing materials like basalt and granite commonly found across India.

Dual-Role Mastery: Stone Crusher & Mulcher Applications

The THOR-2.4 Mulcher is a versatile implement capable of transforming both stone-laden terrain and dense vegetation, delivering excellent value for the Stone Crusher Mulcher Price in India.

Primary Stone Crushing for Land Reclamation

The machine’s primary role is pulverization. It reduces stones up to $20-30 cm$ in diameter into fine aggregates, integrating them directly into the soil. This process is crucial for reclaiming rocky fields in Rajasthan or preparing barren land for agricultural expansion, turning unusable land into a valuable asset. The result is a fine, uniform medium ready for planting or further compaction.

Soil Stabilization Base Layer Preparation

For infrastructure projects, the THOR-2.4 Mulcher performs the essential function of Soil Stabilization preparation. By crushing in-situ material (rocks, broken concrete) and mixing it with binders (like lime or cement) in later passes, it creates a homogeneous, dense sub-base. This directly improves the California Bearing Ratio (CBR) value of the ground, delivering structural integrity for roads and foundations that meet national highway standards in India.

Heavy-Duty Forestry Mulching (Stumps/Residue)

In its mulching role, the THOR-2.4 Mulcher shreds heavy brush, small stumps, and crop residue across its 2.4 m width. This capability is vital for forestry clearing and effective biomass management, converting large vegetative debris into fine mulch that quickly integrates into the soil, acting as a natural fertilizer and moisture retainer.

Optimized Performance Across Indian Terrain:

Our understanding of India’s unique geology and infrastructure demands is reflected in the machine’s design and operation.

Road Base Construction and Highway Projects (CBR Value)

The consistent, fine pulverization achieved by the THOR-2.4 Stone Crusher is critical for contractors preparing road bases. The ability to work at a slow, controlled 3~km/h working speed ensures maximum aggregate reduction, which is foundational for achieving the high compaction density and predictable CBR required by Indian state highway authorities. This makes the THOR-2.4 Mulcher an indispensable tool for infrastructure growth.

Quarry Site Prep and Access Road Maintenance

Quarry and mining operations in Karnataka and Maharashtra require constant maintenance of access roads against large spillage and erosion. The THOR-2.4 Mulcher effectively recycles this spilled rock and debris, crushing it into fresh, compactable aggregate to maintain a safe and stable driving surface. This on-site, single-pass ability drastically cuts down on the cost and logistics of hauling and importing maintenance materials.

Managing Rocky Basalt and Laterite Soils

The basaltic rock of the Deccan Plateau and the hard laterite soils of the South pose a challenge to all mechanical equipment. The THOR-2.4 Stone Crusher’s high 180 CV power input and 2300 Kg mass are engineered to overcome the high resistance of these materials, ensuring the machine keeps moving and crushing without stalling, even during the high-moisture monsoon season.

The maintenance team confirms the superior quality of the drive components, giving us predictable service intervals and proving its value far beyond the initial Stone Crusher Price in India.”

Expert Knowledge Hub:

What is the Function of the Kit Drawbar?

The Kit Drawbar converts the linkage connection from a rigid, tractor-supported system (3-point hitch) to a towed implement. This conversion is crucial for heavy machines like the THOR-2.4 Stone Crusher (2300 Kg) because it transfers the weight from the tractor’s rear hydraulic arms to the machine’s own wheels, significantly improving steering precision and reducing the hydraulic load on the tractor. It is indispensable for high-speed road transport and safe turning in narrow field headlands.

Why is 180 CV Minimum HP Required?

The minimum requirement of 180 CV (HP)  is mandatory due to the nature of stone crushing. Unlike tilling soil, shattering hard rocks and concrete requires immense, sustained torque and rotor speed. Using less power will result in insufficient crushing action, forcing the machine to stall or “ride up” over the material, leading to an inefficient 3 km/h working speed and potentially damaging the tractor’s PTO clutch. This power rating guarantees optimal performance and longevity.

Operational Costs and Wear Part Longevity

The primary operating cost is fuel (approx. 20-25 L/H under max load) and tine replacement. The tungsten-carbide tines are designed for longevity, typically requiring replacement after 300 to 500 hours of crushing, depending on the hardness and abrasiveness of the stone. Routine maintenance involves checking the gearbox oil levels and universal joint lubrication. By investing in the THOR-2.4 Stone Crusher, operators invest in predictable, low-frequency maintenance.

Stone Crushing vs. Rock Picking

• Use THOR-2.4 Stone Crusher When: You need to pulverize the rock into small, compactable aggregate (for road base, soil stabilization, or deep tillage). It handles rocks that are too large for simple picking.

• Use a Rock Picker (CT-2100) When: You need to remove large volumes of medium-sized stones from the field quickly to prevent damage to subsequent planting or harvesting machinery.

Complementary Land Preparation Solutions
