Global attachment leader ALLU is advancing circular construction with its new screening bucket, which is set to transform asphalt recycling
Asphalt is one of the world’s most recycled materials, yet much of its potential remains untapped due to inefficient processing methods.
To help close this gap, family-owned global screening and crushing bucket leader ALLU has introduced its newest innovation to the recycling sector, the ALLU asphalt bucket.
With decades of experience manufacturing in Finland, ALLU is renowned for its innovative attachments that transform the way materials are processed and reused in the earthmoving, mining, recycling and industrial sectors.
Complementing the existing ALLU screener and crusher bucket range, the ALLU asphalt bucket is engineered specifically for processing cold-milled asphalt and reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) in a faster, cleaner and more cost-effective way.

By crushing, screening and turning milled material into a high-quality resource on-site, the ALLU asphalt bucket supports greener and leaner infrastructure development.
“Globally, there’s a clear shift toward sustainable infrastructure in construction business,” ALLU Finland Oy CEO Peter Grönholm says.
“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.
“It’s a smarter, more profitable way to work, and we’re proud to help drive this transformation across the industry.”
As municipalities, contractors, and asphalt producers look for smarter ways to reuse milled asphalt, the ALLU asphalt bucket delivers a transformative advantage.
This purpose-built attachment crushes clumps, screens fines and separates oversized particles – all in a single pass.
It has been designed to meet the rising demand for efficient and cost-effective asphalt recycling, offering customers a high-performance solution to reduce transport costs and reuse material directly at the jobsite.
Efficiency meets profitability
One of the standout features of the ALLU asphalt bucket is its hybrid blade configuration – a mix of screening and crushing blades – which help to fine-tune performance and achieve consistently high-quality end products.
This simultaneous crushing and screening combination allows operators to process cold-milled asphalt directly at the source, eliminating the need for 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 says.
With nominal screen sizes of 12, 16 and 25mm, Grönholm says the bucket can produce over 95 per cent of finished material below target size, drastically reducing reprocessing needs.
Using the ALLU asphalt bucket also reduces the reliance on mobile impact crushers, cutting fuel consumption, wear part expenses and overall tonne-per-cost rates.
This can result in significant savings in both time and money, making the process not only more efficient but far more profitable.
Designed for today’s job sites, the ALLU asphalt bucket is available in several sizes for 25 to 45-tonne excavators and 15 to 30-tonne wheel loaders.
Models deliver a proven throughput of up to 250 tonnes per hour, with rapid drum change-outs thanks to the ALLU variable drum technology.
The robust design of the bucket includes a serrated cutting edge and reinforced frame, tailored for aggressive asphalt processing.
Whether it’s pre-crushed demolition asphalt or compacted cold-milled material, the ALLU solution is engineered for reliability, mobility and productivity – even in tight or urban work sites.
The ALLU asphalt bucket was officially launched in June in Finland and will see its Australian release in Q4 2025.
