Wirtgen Group

  • Group of companies strengthens digital communication

    Magazine format: ‘The Road’ and ‘The Rock’ are becoming more individualised, faster, and more sustainable

    Sustainability is a key part of the Wirtgen Group’s foundational aims and is firmly embedded in all corporate processes. Innovative and sustainable solutions drive digitalisation not only in the road construction sector, but also in the evolution of the company’s own media communication. In ‘The Road’ and ‘The Rock’, the corporate group doesn’t just report on exciting machine operations of their construction equipment; they also provide a closer look at the world of the Wirtgen Group.

    The rapid development of communication media has changed user behaviour and the associated requirements. As part of its sustainability strategy, which has an impact on all areas of the Wirtgen Group, the company is also focusing on the digital transformation of its print media. All issues of the paperless magazines are now available 24/7 on the website to interested readers.

    Successful print media given a modern makeover

    In the past, FORUM and RoadNews covered the rapid development and transformation of the company. With FORUM, the magazine for customers, employees, and friends, readers were able to take a regular look behind the scenes and learn all the things they always wanted to know about the Wirtgen Group. The user magazine RoadNews was aimed at road construction professionals and fans, with a focus on spectacular job site reports, new machines, technical articles, interviews with users, and tips for routine operations. Both magazines have also undergone constant change themselves, a process which has led to their new digital format.

    Preparing digital content to suit the target group

    The Wirtgen Group is now bundling all of these topics into two digital magazines. This lets them work with a faster turnaround time, catering more quickly to individual information needs. ‘The Road’ is now dedicated to road construction and rehabilitation, with the solutions and technologies of Wirtgen, Vögele, Hamm, and Benninghoven.

    With ‘The Rock’, the company is now providing professionals in materials processing and extraction with their own dedicated magazine for the very first time. This was prompted by the readers’ wish for more reports on the relevant fields of application and on the solutions offered by Kleemann and Wirtgen.

    Two Magazines – One Platform

    ‘The Road’ and ‘The Rock’ are available on the company website at: THEROAD.wirtgen-group.com and THEROCK.wirtgen-group.com.

  • 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.

    “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.

  • World premiere of the new 280 SM(i) surface miner

    With the new 280 SM(i) surface miner, the WIRTGEN GROUP, Windhagen/Germany, has developed another efficient and practice-oriented solution for the extraction of primary resources. Its innovative technologies enable high machine utilisation rates and maximum productivity.

    The 280 SM(i) is a high-performance surface miner designed for the reliable and selective extraction of primary resources by direct loading, sidecasting or cut-to-ground. Raw materials are extracted and crushed in situ in purest quality in a single operation – without drilling and blasting and with minimal environmental impact (Figure 1). The 280 SM(i) is driven by four steerable and height-adjustable crawler units. The machine is highly manoeuvrable and can be quickly turned at the end of a cut. The LEVEL PRO ACTIVE automatic levelling system maintains the specified cutting depth with consistently high precision and without further aids.

    The 280 SM(i) is an all-rounder for all rock hardnesses and applications. The 2,750 mm cutting drum unit with a cutting depth of up to 650 mm is precisely adaptable to each specific application and achieves outstanding cutting performance with minimal pick wear. Wear-resistant toolholder systems ensure optimal pick utilisation and minimal downtimes. The soft rock cutting drum unit is designed especially for high material flows in soft rocks. In contrast, the hard rock cutting drum unit ensures maximum durability and long life in hard rocks.

    In the extraction of primary resources by open cast mining, the key priority is always a combination of highest possible productivity, maximum purity of the material mined and the reduction of impact on people and the environment to a minimum. Aside from performance, the productivity of mining equipment depends primarily on constant operational readiness and optimum machine utilisation. Only a reliable and maintenance-friendly machine assures high utilisation rates. The innovative operator’s cabin contributes to the operator’s ability to exploit the full potential of the machine and maximise productivity. The 280 SM(i) surface miner is therefore the tool of choice for cost-efficient mining processes in the 120 t-class.

    The high-performance, hydraulically height-adjustable, rear discharge conveyor with a movable counterweight can be slewed to the right and left by 90° and enables the loading of mining trucks with payloads of up to 100 t. What’s more, the operator can continuously vary the speed of the belt independent of the engine speed to reduce belt wear dependent on the material volume and the piece-size of the mined material.

    Entirely new standards are set by the dust-sealed and air-conditioned positive-pressure cabin with fresh air filtration, which effectively prevents the ingress of dust into the operator’s workplace. Mounted on the front left chassis column, the operator’s cabin with all-round glazing is decoupled from the machine body and can be rotated by 90° in both directions. Up to six cameras can also be installed to provide even better all-round vision. Various automatic functions also contribute to the operator’s comfort, reduce the risk of fatigue, assist the operator in the achievement of high productivity rates and make the overall process more efficient.

    These days, the reduction of carbon emissions, noise, dust and vibration while maintaining consistently high extraction rates and productivity is more important than ever before. With the new surface miner, Wirtgen offers innovative technologies that minimize impact on the environment and conserve valuable natural resources. Thanks to the reduction of carbon emissions by low specific fuel consumption, an efficient water management system and effective solutions for the minimization of dust pollution, the 280 SM(i) shows that ecological and economic considerations are actually compatible and closely interconnected.

  • New EVO2 generation guarantees higher operational reliability

    Avoid downtimes with effective overload systems

    In rock and stone processing, during the crushing process various short-term or prolonged overload situations can arise. The overload systems of the MC 110 EVO2 and MCO 90 EVO2 pursue an important goal: increase in the operational readiness of the plant in a sustainable manner by guaranteeing a crushing process that is as continuous as possible. Both crushing machines are equipped with mechanically and software-supported overload systems.

     Overload system on the jaw crusher MOBICAT MC 110(i) EVO2

    With its multi-stage overload system, the jaw crusher MOBICAT MC 110(i) EVO2 provides more safety with uncrushable material. If, for example, metal enters the crushing process, the crushing gap (CSS) opens automatically in up to two seconds over the complete gap range. The crusher itself does not have to be stopped during the temporary overload situation, which means that the crushing chamber is empty and manual clearing of the crusher is not necessary which saves work and time. When the overload situation is corrected, the system then moves back to the original crushing gap and the crushing process is continued. The pressure plate installed as a predetermined breaking point is preserved. The consequences are reduced downtimes and increased crushing capacity.

    Overload systems on the cone crusher MOBICONE MCO 90(i) EVO2

    The cone crusher MOBICONE MCO 90(i) EVO2 has two different systems installed. The overload system “Tramp Release” protects the crusher against uncrushable material such as wood or metal. The bowl including the bowl liner lifts automatically to allow uncrushable material to fall through. The “Ringbounce Detection”, on the other hand, reacts to an excessively high share of fines in the feed material and prevents “briquetting” – which means the clogging of the crusher or sticking together of the material. Here, the hydraulic pressure of the crusher is monitored continuously. The system reacts as required and therefore prevents latent overloads. Depending on the machine application, the “Ringbounce Detection” can be oriented via the control system to output (“Mixture Mode”) or product quality (“Precise Mode”).

    Intelligent “Ringbounce Detection” with the cone crusher MOBICONE MCO 90(i) EVO2 reacts to an excessively large share of fines in the feed material and prevents clogging of the crusher. Photo: Wirtgen

    By preventing machine damage and thus production downtimes, the overload systems from Kleemann therefore guarantee increased operational reliability for the users.

  • Kleemann | New EVO2 Generation for Sustainable Use

    Environmentally sound combined with an economic solution – The jaw crusher MOBICAT MC 110(i) EVO2 and the cone crusher MOBICONE MCO 90(i) EVO2, with their efficient crusher direct drive, have a holistic drive concept that forms the basis for high cost-effectiveness.


    Crusher direct drive with electric auxiliary drives – fuel-efficient and quiet

    Both machines of the new EVO2 generation are equipped with a patented power train. The crusher is driven directly, enabling high fuel-efficiency, via a reliable fluid coupling. Conveying components, such as the vibrating feeder, the double-deck prescreen or the discharge conveyors, are all-electric. A robust and easily accessible gearbox guarantees efficient power transmission. It not only operates with a high level of efficiency but also has ideal protection against dust. Downtimes can be avoided to a large extent. The power and load-dependent fan drive also ensures low-noise and economical operation. Operation in ECO mode can additionally reduce fuel consumption as well as wear in idle phases. The plants can be optionally equipped with a heat package (-15 to + 50 °C) or cold package (-25 to +40 °C). The cold package has an autonomous auxiliary heater with a convenient timer function.

    Environmentally sound operation – less noise and dust

    In the new drive concept, the speed of the cooler fan and therefore also the cooling capacity is controlled automatically, which considerably reduces the noise level. Apart from less dust penetration thanks to a lower volume of moved cooler air, work near to the machine is a lot more agreeable for the operator.

    For the jaw crusher MOBICAT MC 110(i) EVO2, which is frequently used in urban environments, an optional noise protection package is also available. The considerably reduced noise level would even permit work without special ear protection – depending on the material to be processed, further environmental conditions and local regulations.

    To reduce dust, the machines are equipped in the standard series, among other things, at the crusher inlet and crusher discharge conveyor with water nozzles and the corresponding technical infrastructure. As a result, an optionally available water pump or an external water source, if available, can be used. Optional belt covers also contribute to an improvement of the air quality during crushing.

    These measures benefit the machine operator, the further peripheral devices on the job site, local residents and the environment.

  • Harmonised duo MOBICAT 110(i) EVO2 and MOBICONE MCO 90(i) EVO2

    The jaw crusher MOBICAT MC 110(i) EVO2 and the cone crusher MOBICONE MCO 90(i) EVO2  were developed with a focus on output, efficiency and flexibility. The mobile plants are frequently used together in the first and second crushing stage and pay off, in particular, due to the joint output level and simple line linking (Figure 1).

    The two crushing plants in the latest EVO2 generation are perfectly tuned to one another with regard to the transport points of the material, and the output also matches. The jaw crusher has the exact amount of power to perfectly utilise the cone crusher in the second crushing stage. The correct filling level of a cone crusher is particularly important to produce the highest grain quality with a minimum of wear. The MC 110 EVO2 can adjust its crushing gap fully hydraulically by up to 180 mm. The MCO 90 EVO2, on the other hand, can cover a gap range of 6 to 45 mm with its new crushing tools. Depending on the feed material, a downstream screening plant can be used to produce concrete or asphalt grain sizes in a single operation.

    The crushing plant of both plants is optimized automatically by the innovative feed control CFS (Continuous Feed System) so that material is always conveyed with maximum efficiency through the machines. At the same time, the filling level of the crushing chambers is monitored. When the filling level reaches a height that can be defined in advance, the material feed of the machine is adjusted.

    This system forms the perfect basis for the line coupling of an interlinked plant train. The optionally available probes at the crusher discharge conveyor and/or fine grain conveyor of the upstream machine monitor the filling level of the feeding unit of the respective upstream machine.

    For safety reasons, the crushing and screening plants are connected to each other by a cable. If an emergency stop button is pressed on the plant train in the event of an emergency, all machines are safely stopped.
