  • Plant train performs impressively in limestone in Greece

    Infrastructure project “Amvrakia Odos” implemented with a combination of jaw and cone crusher and a screening plant

    A mobile Kleemann plant train is deployed in Amphilochia on the Greek mainland. The efficient plant train consists of the jaw crusher MOBICAT MC 120i PRO, the cone crusher MOBICONE MCO 110i PRO and a classifying screen MOBISCREEN MSC 953i EVO.

     Economic and sustainable solutions

    Construction of the 48.5 km-long highway, which will play an important role for the Ambracian Gulf’s tourist region in north-west Greece, will require a large amount of high-quality processed rock material. During project planning, the building company carrying out the work decided on a Kleemann plant train from the PRO line: MOBICAT MC 120i PRO and MOBICONE MCO 110i PRO. The two power packs are complemented by the classifying screen MOBISCREEN MSC 953i EVO.

    The limestone on site has a high quartz content. The feed material (feed size 0-600 mm) is very sticky and contains a high proportion of soil in addition to the quartz. Perfect application area for the jaw crusher MOBICAT MC 120i PRO, which is used as a primary crusher in the plant train, and impresses with its efficient double-deck prescreen. It discharges any fines even before the crushing process. The jaw crusher loads the downstream cone crusher MOBICONE MCO 110i PRO, while the Kleemann screening plant delivers the four final products prescribed for road construction: 0-4, 4-16, 16-32 and 0-32.

    Intelligently linked for an exceptionally stable process

    The three plants in Amphilochia are intelligently linked, which ensures a stable process thanks to automatic control. Each machine works on its own but sends signals to the upstream and downstream machines in the event of malfunctions or overfilling. The Continuous Feed System (CFS) also guarantees optimum utilization of the crusher. All components are thus loaded evenly. The connection of all machines also guarantees safety: If an emergency stop is pressed anywhere on the plant train, all machines are safely stopped. The concept prevents damage or overload situations. And this results in high availability and performance throughout with low wear.

    High output and low fuel consumption

    The Kleemann plant train with its PRO crushers impresses with its material preparation of up to 410 tons per hour and the ability to supply large feed material of up to 600 mm. “The Kleemann machines are exceptionally powerful and can successfully take on any application. We are very satisfied with the output and expect to process 1.5 million tons during the 18 month of operation,” says a delighted Aris Svolos, owner of AIGISTOS S.A.

    The crushing machines are equipped with powerful E-DRIVE diesel-electric drives. Fuel consumption is low, and it is possible to retrofit the plants with the “external power supply” option. This makes the machines future-proof.

    Outstanding: Support and Service

    For such large projects, it isn’t only the extremely efficient performance of the machines that counts. Close collaboration with local contacts is also key. In Greece, customers of Wirtgen Group are supported by the local dealer Helma S.A. “We are very satisfied with our contact partners at Kleemann and Helma. And we especially appreciate their willingness to find practicable solutions. Knowing that we can count on quick, straightforward support when things get challenging gives me real peace of mind,” confirms Aris Svolos.

  • Sustainable solution with screening machine MOBISCREEN MSC 702i EVO

    For screening high-quality silica sand in a sand pit in the administrative district of Sigmaringen/Germany, trust was placed in the mobile screening machine MOBISCREEN MSC 702i EVO with Dual Power. The processed material is then used, among other things, for sports ground construction and in glass production or for building material such as plaster or adhesive.

    After a search for an efficient solution for separating the grain sizes, the operating company decided on the MOBISCREEN MSC 702i EVO with Dual Power. On the one hand, the screening machine has a wide, large screening surface that can deliver a very high output. On the other hand, Kleemann provides an option for all-electric operation of the machine – a future-oriented drive system that works on site without CO2 emissions: a positive feature for the environmental balance and quality assurance. To guarantee the power supply on site, the company built a transformer station that accompanies the machine, which is moved two to three times a year.

    The new acquisition is the first machine in the operating company with an electric drive. Achim Haßdenteufel, Section Manager at Emil Steidle GmbH & Co. KG, and his team were already thrilled with the machine’s performance during the first test run. “We looked at different machines, tested them on site and compared the output. Our material here is very specific. We have a lot of clay in the raw sand that clogs the screens”, says Haßdenteufel. And Facility Manager Walter Kieper adds: “The machine has an impressive output. Everything can be operated very conveniently by remote control. Although our employees, who have been used to control via hydraulic levers up to now, had to reorientate, they quickly managed to cope with the digital display. Everything is clearly arranged and it has an intuitive design”.

    The refined technical details of the MSC 702i EVO meet the high demands of the material. The configuration of the belts on the machine, e. g., can be mirrored. The fine grain conveyor and middle grain conveyor can therefore be installed either on the right or left and the travel distance of the wheel loader can be kept as short as possible. This also reduces the power consumption and wear on the vehicles.

    The MOBISCREEN MSC 702i EVO is equipped with a vibrating slotted grate. Large sand stones can therefore be separated in advance and the machine can be loaded with a 0 to 50 mm feed size. The upper deck is used as a relief deck, the second deck defines the target grain size. The stepless setting option of the belt speed contributes to energy efficiency. As the screening process in the sand pit merges the discharge of the middle grain conveyor and fine grain conveyor, only one side discharge conveyor is actively operated. The speed of the second belt is throttled to save energy. The reduced speed is also an advantage when the feed material is very wet, as Michell Blasczyk from WIRTGEN DEUTSCHLAND Vertriebs- und Service GmbH, Windhagen, explains: “Sand is not always the same. Depending on moisture content and properties, the covering, inclination angle, speed and many other factors must match exactly”.

    During set-up, the operating company also placed their trust in support from the Kleemann experts – among other things, from specialist departments who prepared precise flow charts or the Kleemann laboratory that examined the material exactly in advance.

  • Less noise and dust for more sustainability

    To protect employees and the environment, Kleemann continuously develops its noise and dust-protection concepts

    Excessive noise and dust emissions result in damage to health in the long term. To protect not only employees on building sites, but also human and animal life in the surrounding area, Kleemann continuously develops new measures for reducing and efficiently containing noise and dust emissions. Kleemann machines of the latest EVO2 generation thus work with a lower sound power level than their predecessor models.

    Less noise in urban areas
    Particularly on building sites in intra-urban areas, many people are exposed to noise emissions. Comprehensive noise protection is therefore all the more important here. However, the regulations of local authorities with regard to the sound level on building sites are not standardised. In order to optimise noise protection for residents and the building site team independently of this, in the past Kleemann has dedicated a lot of develop work into the emission reduction of its plants.

    As a result, the basic versions of the current machines operate at sound power levels up to 6.2 dB lower than the predecessor models – the perceived noise is thus 75% lower. This is a clear improvement not only for users but also for residents.

    Kleemann solutions
    The standard version of the Kleemann machines of the latest EVO2 generation already operates at 87/88 decibels (dB) at the operator’s stand. Optional noise protection packages reduce the sound power level of the complete plant by a further 3 dB and halve the perceived noise level once again. Categorisation aid: An average pneumatic drill reaches approx. 120 dB, a vacuum cleaner 70 dB.

    Sustainability in the series
    As the fan speed is regulated according to load, ambient temperature and degree of cooler contamination, even the basic configuration of the mobile jaw crusher MOBICAT MC 110(i) EVO2 is very low-noise. With the additional noise-protection package, the plant can be operated without noise-damping headsets – depending on the ambient conditions and local regulations. Even without the noise protection package, only 90 dB are measured directly at the machine. The noise protection package results in around 85 dB in the direct vicinity of the machine.

    Effective dust containment
    Not only efficient noise protection, but also containment of the dust development benefits employees, residents and the complete environment. This protects user and residents – and, ultimately, such measures also ensure greater acceptance of urban building sites. Kleemann, with a special belt cover and a water spraying concept, has developed two measures that contribute to dust reduction.

    Water pump systems can be connected to the intelligently positioned water spraying system so that, among other things, standing water bodies or tanks can be used. The cover means that the fine dust particles are no longer blown away but rather remain on the conveyor.

    The result is a clear reduction in dust emissions.

  • Sustainable Drive Concepts for every Requirement

    Three solutions for environmentally friendly operation. An overview of concepts and application options

    Kleemann uses three different drive concepts that offer the best possible solution depending on the tasks at hand. Although electric drives score very well with regard to the CO2 footprint, in some situations a fuel-saving diesel drive is the better solution. E-DRIVE, D-DRIVE and H-DRIVE represent the variants diesel-electric, diesel-direct and diesel-hydraulic.

    The decision on the most efficient solution depends on many factors: For example, whether there is a power supply option available on site, whether the machines are used in an urban environment or which local environmental regulations apply.

    E-DRIVE – emission-free thanks to electric drive

    Plants in the PRO line, such as the MOBICAT MC 120(i) PRO, can be operated completely with electricity or, alternatively with a diesel engine. The crusher and all conveyor belts are then still driven electrically by a generator. Source: Kleemann

    The E-DRIVE concept offers two options: Diesel fuel or all-electric. All-electric operation is environmentally friendly: there are no CO2 emissions on site. A precondition for this is a good power infrastructure, which is often available in quarries or in larger recycling yards. In the power supply is insufficient or there isn’t one available, a diesel-electric work option is available. For example, if the complete plant in the quarry is to be moved along the rock face. Power is then supplied from a long cable, which is often too complex or may not even be possible. In this case, power comes from the fuel-efficient diesel engine. The crusher and all conveyor belts are then still driven electrically by a generator. Depending on the local situation, the E-DRIVE concept offers high flexibility.

    D-DRIVE – the direct and powerful solution

    Crusher directdrive D-DRIVE on the EVO2 crushing plants from Kleemann: The fluid coupling guarantees high operational safety – for operator and machine. All secondary drives, such as prescreen, chutes or conveyor belts, are driven electrically. Source: Kleemann

    The diesel-directdrive D-DRIVE provides power directly from the engine to the crusher. In the last few years, it was possible to reduce consumption, for example, through the load-dependent fan drive of the new EVO2 Generation. With regard to the degree of efficiency, the diesel-directdrive has the edge and fuel consumption is significantly lower. Thanks to their compact size and well thought-out transport options, the machines can be positioned in any place on the work site. If continuous use of the all-electric drive is not possible, the D-DRIVE is the better, more sustainable choice – whenever flexibility is required. This is the case with demolition and processing work in urban areas, but also in road construction where the machines have to be moved along as construction progresses.

    H-DRIVE – for mobile screening plants

    The Kleemann screening plants use an effective diesel-hydraulic drive. Furthermore, the configuration with Dual Power provides an option for an all-electric power supply. If a mains connection is available, the plant operates on site free of emissions. Source: Kleemann

    The screening plants from Kleemann use an effective diesel-hydraulic drive. In this case, hydraulic pumps operate all machine parts such as screen, belts and drive system. The power requirements of the screens are considerably lower than a crusher – fuel consumption during operation is therefore more favourable. The optionally available Start-Stop system can reduce consumption even more. With the configuration with Dual Power, Kleemann screening plants have an option for an all-electric power supply. If a mains connection is available, the plant operates on site free of emissions – for example, in ecologically sensitive areas with strict regulations.

    Summary: Ecological drive – a question of the overall concept

    In stationary recycling operations, the preconditions for the use of a Kleemann crushing plant with E-DRIVE are often very favourable. An adequate power supply is often available, occasionally even from an in-company photovoltaic system. Photo: Kleemann

    Many factors play a role in the area of sustainability. Energy required for production, transport, storage, sales and disposal are all incorporated in the ecological footprint of the production process. As far as CO2 emissions during operation are concerned, an all-electric plant is without doubt the best choice. In other cases, you have to weigh up whether supply via an external power source involving high equipment and material costs is more constructive at the end of the day than technology with lower fuel consumption. Ecology can also mean placing your trust in low material usage and high durability.

  • Configuration tool for quick, optimal machine settings

    Smart Job Configurator supports inexperienced and experienced users equally

    Different machines, different settings – so that users can find solutions quickly and easily, Kleemann now offers the Smart Job Configurator in the SPECTIVE operating concept. The configurator enables the optimal machine settings to be easily determined.

    Finding the ideal machine parameters takes time and requires experience. The applications for crushing plants are diverse and depending on the feed material and the desired end result the parameters vary. The Smart Job Configurator is part of the SPECTIVE CONNECT app and the SPECTIVE touch display and supports operators in the selection and entry of the correct settings. This ensures that the desired high-quality final product is reached with the lowest possible wear and fuel consumption.

    Simple handling thanks to intuitive user guidance

    The operator is guided step by step through the menu of the Smart Job Configurator of the SPECTIVE CONNECT app (Figure 1) and enters the necessary data of their planned application, such as details about the machine, material and its processing. A suitable final product is suggested as well as the tools required. When all parameters are entered, the tool creates an overview of the ideal machine configurations. The result of the calculations can be exported as a PDF and sent to other people, for example.

    On the SPECTIVE touch panel (Figure 2) the suggested settings can be applied quickly and simply via the Smart Job Configurator menu. The machine now works exactly with the applied setting and delivers the planned result.

    The Smart Job Configurator can also be used without SPECTIVE CONNECT as a “QuickStart” on the touch panel. The operator is guided step by step through the machine configuration, which accelerates the set-up. The operator receives the same setting options that are offered in the app.

    Fig. 2. On the SPECTIVE touch panel the Smart Job Configurator can be used as a “QuickStart” for simple set-up of the Kleemann machine. Photo: Wirtgen

    Different sample applications

    The Smart Job Configurator is fed with various application scenarios, which were created by the Kleemann application technology. More “recipes” are gradually being added. There operators find an ever-expanding range of various applications. The customers can also contact Kleemann directly if special applications are required.

    With this support for the machine setting employees with less experience also find the appropriate solution and experienced users benefit from time savings. The material processing is simple and efficient for all users.

  • Kleemann | First Practical Application of the New Impact Crusher MOBIREX MR 130i PRO

    The new Kleemann impact crusher MOBIREX MR 130i PRO is in operation in a limestone quarry near Wuppertal. The latest family member of the PRO line offers effective screening and a high output.

    With its double-deck post screening unit, the MR 130i PRO guarantees effective screening and very high product quality with a single plant only – without additional screening plant. Photo: Wirtgen

    Combination plant proves its value in the limestone quarry
    The Kleemann impact crusher MOBIREX MR 130i PRO is used in the Oetelshofen quarry near Wuppertal to crush limestone for industrial blast furnaces. A combination plant in which the screening unit is connected directly to the crushing plant – this is what the operating company wanted. Whereas an impact crusher was previously operated with a separate screening plant, the MOBIREX MR 130i PRO now works with an integrated post screening unit and oversize grain returning. Among other things, this reduces the fuel consumption. Instead of supplying a crushing and screening plant, now only one machine, which also has low consumption values, has to be refueled. The new machine achieves a final product of 0/45 with a feed size of 0/600. The double-deck post screening unit discharges a final grain size, whereby both screen decks are fully utilised. A size 50 square mesh is installed in the lower deck for this purpose; a larger mesh is installed in the upper deck as a relief deck. The oversize grain of the upper deck as well as the lower deck is directed in an uncomplicated process via a reversible transfer conveyor onto the oversize grain conveyor and is then returned to the crushing process.

    A new development perfectly suited to the task
    The initial challenge was to find a solution that meets all the requirements: “The customer had considered different suppliers and options”, explains Christoph Obalski, Sales Wirtgen Germany. “Luckily, with the new MR 130i PRO from Kleemann, we have a completely new machine that is exactly suited to the project,” says the Kleemann special consultant. The MOBIREX MR 130i PRO has a high output and effective screening.

    Hand-over of the MOBIREX MR 130i PRO in the Kleemann plant in Göppingen: Christoph Obalski, Sales Wirtgen Germany (left) with Dirk Frorath, managing director of the operating company AMIRO GmbH in the Oetelshofen quarry (right). Photo: Wirtgen

    “The large running gear with heavy-duty framing, ease of physical and visual access via steps and platforms to all components and the solid double-deck post screening unit – this made a perfect first impression,” explains Dirk Frorath, managing director of AMIRO GmbH in the quarry.” The crushing unit of the plant is driven by a powerful electric motor. It also has a new drive concept. A star-delta drive and frequency converter, which makes it possible to vary the speed of the rotor as required, is available as an option. Thanks to its all-electric drive concept E-DRIVE, there is an option for an external power supply which means that the machine can be operated locally free of emissions.

    Standardised operation thanks to the SPECTIVE operating concept
    The MOBIREX MR 130i PRO is also equipped with the operating concept SPECTIVE, with which operators in quarries are already familiar from the other MOBIREX MR 130 EVO2 plants. The operating concept is intuitive and has a consistent structure across the MOBIREX series. The components of the latest SPECTIVE generation, such as the new radio remote controls and the digital solution SPECTIVE CONNECT, simplify the everyday work routine even more.

    Many years of good co-operation tipped the scales
    In this case, prior to purchasing it was not possible to view the machine in operation in advance, for example, in another company. The impact crusher is, after all, a new development. Thanks to co-operation Kleemann lasting many years and good experience with the company’s products, however, a very solid foundation of trust existed. And of course it was possible to view the machine in the Kleemann plant in Göppingen.

  • More flexibility and efficient on site

    The new MOBISCREEN MSS 802(i) EVO offers users a mobile, efficient screening plant that was designed to meet changing challenges in different application areas. With its well-thought-out plant design and flexible conversion options, Kleemann demonstrates how a high material flow can be guaranteed in natural stone and recycling applications.

    Screening made easy
    With the development of the MOBISCREEN MSS 802(i) EVO, a new generation of screening plants and successor of the MS 15 Z, Kleemann consciously places the focus on the user perspective. The technology behind the screening process must be easy and safe to use for all users. The new plant impresses not only with technological highlights in the process sequence, but also through its ergonomic design, optimised operation and the user-friendly maintenance concept.

    Improved mobility and flexibility in application
    With its proportionally controlled running gear, the plant can be quickly relocated either by a low-loader to the job site or within the building site. Apart from other improvements of the new MSS 802(i) EVO, folding of the side discharge conveyors without the need for disassembly clearly reduces set-up times. Increased application variability is provided by a hopper rear wall that can be folded to three heights, which permits feeding of crushing plants with a lower discharge height. The large offer of screen surfaces and simple adjustment of the screen parameters, which make rapid adaptation of the MSS 802(i) EVO to a very wide range of feed materials possible, reduce set-up times and thus personnel requirements and costs. The screen casing angle with a wide adjustment range from 15.4 – 20° makes optimisation of the screening capacity possible. Special highlight: the simple and fast conversion from 3- to 2-way grit. The MSS 802(i) EVO can therefore be used to produce and discharge two or three final grain sizes and the conversion is fast and simple.

    Operability and ergonomics for more comfort and safety
    An intuitive plant control with automatic start reduces the risk of operating errors and saves learning times. All relevant functions can be operated from a safe distance, which offers high work safety. Further user-friendly aspects include very good access options and intelligent cleaning solutions, which minimise downtimes caused by maintenance. With all of these solutions, Kleemann placed the focus on the typical workday of users. This also applies to the standard series LED lighting, the optionally available extended premium lighting of work areas or the generously proportioned work platforms.

    Efficient and precise process sequences for optimum material flow
    An optimised material flow is a central aspect of all screening plants. Only if all components are tuned to one another can high productivity with minimised operating costs be achieved. With its new mobile screen for coarse elements, Kleemann demonstrates what screening plants of the latest generation can achieve. This includes a wide crusher discharge conveyor on which, like all of the other conveyors, the speed can be steplessly adjusted, as well as a large material transfer system to the screen deck for optimum utilisation of the screening surfaces. High discharge heights and thus higher stockpiles thanks to the optionally available extended crusher discharge conveyor and telescopic side discharge conveyors guarantee ideal processes on the building site.

    It goes without saying that the new MOBISCREEN MSS 802(i) EVO can be operated through line coupling with all EVO and PRO crushing plants integrated in the process and safety system. Special application flexibility is provided by the stockpile probe required for the process coupling, which can be placed on any discharge conveyor of the plant.

  • Interlinked PRO plant train impresses in the Caribbean

    To obtain final products for the production of asphalt, a PRO plant train from Kleemann is being used on the twin island state of Trinidad & Tobago: the mobile jaw crusher MOBICAT MC 120 Z PRO and the mobile cone crusher MOBICONE MCO 11 PRO. The mobile screening plant MOBISCREEN MS 953 EVO rounds off the process in the limestone quarry.

    The good quality of the final product and simple line coupling of the individual machines to form a plant train were decisive criteria for the selection of the plant technology. With the PRO plant train from Kleemann, the uncomplicated coupling of the machines and the automatic processes tuned to one another facilitate operation.

    Availability and output doubles thanks to line coupling

    The plant train consists of three machines whose technical processes are coupled to one another (Figure 2). Thanks to the automated tuning, the burden on operators is reduced, the process is harmonised and therefore stabilised. Each machine basically operates independently but forwards signals to the upstream and downstream machines in the event of malfunctions or overfilling of feed material. The feed control Continuous Feed System (CFS) also guarantees optimum utilisation of the crushers, which are therefore loaded evenly with material. Furthermore, the connection of all machines guarantees safety: if an emergency stop is pressed within the plant train, all plants are stopped immediately. This concept prevents damage or overload situations.

    Fig. 2. The plant train of Jusamco in Trinidad: the core comprises the jaw crusher MOBICAT MC 120 Z PRO and the cone crusher MOBICONE MCO 11 PRO. The screening plant MOBISCREEN MS 953 EVO rounds off the complete process. Photo: Wirtgen / Kleemann

    During operation in Trinidad & Tobago, with the help of the line coupling the company performing the work was able to double the availability and output compared to the plants previously used in the quarry.

    Personnel deployment was also more efficient. Normally one operator per plant is used, plus the excavator driver. Line coupling now allows the complete process to be controlled by two operators instead of four. The other two employees can therefore perform other tasks parallel to production, such as material provision or also logistics in the quarry.

    Intuitive operation – under special conditions

    After delivery of the new plants in September 2020, the project had to face the special challenge posed by the Covid-19 pandemic: the plant train had to be put into operation online without local supervision. How well plant start-up functioned in spite of these adverse conditions was shown after a year: there were no significant problems and the machines and crushing tools revealed hardly any wear. On the one hand, the long lifetime of the components resulted because the material was not so abrasive. On the other hand, due to a very finely tuned process and therefore the optimum material flow.

    The SPECTIVE operating system makes its contribution to a trouble-free start-up because it can be operated easily and intuitively. The visual presentation and logical user guidance make errors almost impossible. Thanks to its simple operation, several employees received instruction in the use of SPECTIVE at the same time. High flexibility in work with the plant was therefore guaranteed right from the start.

    Simple maintenance and care

    The advantage for maintenance is that the components of the crushing and screening plants are very easy to reach. All positions can be accessed without any problems and without significant disassembly work. Regular maintenance of the plant train is therefore made easier. The simple screen media change with the screening plant MOBISCREEN MS 953 contributes to smooth operation. “Above all, we appreciate the readiness to find practical solutions. We already experienced good co-operation with the other brands we have from Wirtgen Group”, says Kyle Parsons, the Project Manager in charge at Jusamco Ltd. We know for sure that the contact partners on site can always provide professional support and guarantee a parts supply.

    The innovative operating concept SPECTIVE includes various components that are ideally tuned to one another and accompany the machine operator during the entire working day. Apart from the intuitive touch panel and different radio remote controls, the digital application SPECTIVE CONNECT, above all, supports the work site digitalisation. All relevant process information and reporting are now displayed on your smartphone without having to leave the feeding device. SPECTIVE CONNECT has new features, which will be presented at Bauma and which make work for the operator even easier. A new configuration tool, for example, supports the operator in the selection of the correct machine settings.


    Kleemann screening program extended

    The Kleemann MSS 802(i) EVO impresses as a new screen for coarse elements in natural stone and recycling. Photo: Wirtgen

    The new MOBISCREEN MSS 802(i) EVO has been designed as a powerful mobile screen for coarse elements for changing challenges in different applications. With its clever plant design and flexible conversion options, it guarantees an optimum material flow in natural stone and recycling applications. The large range of screen surfaces and simple setting of screen parameters make it possible to adapt the MSS 802(i) EVO easily to new application conditions. If a fine final product is to be screened from particularly coarse feed material, the plant can be quickly converted from three to two final grain sizes. Further advantages of the plant include its simple operability thanks to its intuitive control system, easy access to all relevant machine components and its drive concept with the option of an external power supply for emission-free and therefore environmentally sound work.

    The plants in the EVO2 generation demonstrate that output, efficiency and flexibility belong together. The latest members of the product line – the jaw crusher MOBICAT MC 110(i) EVO2 and the cone crusher MOBICONE MCO 90(i) EVO2 – will be presented together to the public at Bauma with line coupling. Both plants have an efficient drive concept and intelligent overload systems. Operation is simple thanks to SPECTIVE and SPECTIVE CONNECT.

    The EVO2 line also includes the mobile impact crushers MOBIREX MR EVO2.  The plants impress with flexible application options in natural stone and recycling. The SPECTIVE operating concept ensures simple, intuitive control. The new feature here is that SPECTIVE CONNECT is now also available.
