RUSSELL CLAW

When it comes to the muck-out phase of mill relining, the RUSSELL Claw^TM grapple attachment for your RUSSELL Mill Relining Machine (MRM) is a serious piece of equipment. Tough, durable and strong, its powerful jaws will grab knocked-in worn liners from wherever they fall and deliver them to the liner cart for removal. But above all, safety is its first priority. The Claw reduces the number of crew needed inside the mill during the hazardous muck-out operation and eliminates the need for manual slinging.

"The efficient RUSSELL Claw^TM is the ultimate solution for muck-out. Its powerful jaws can quickly and effortlessly pick up worn liners and deposit them on to the MRM Linercart. But what sets it apart is its focus on safety. The Claw eliminates the dangerous task of manually slinging liners, which has long been a major hazard during the process of mill relining."
