Highlights included demonstrations of crushing and screening plants from Kleemann, as well as products from other Wirtgen business units, including asphalt plants and surface miners.
Attendees were given an in-depth look behind the scenes during tours of the company’s Benninghoven plants in Mülheim and Wittlich.
The Mobicone MCO 9 EVO was the centerpiece of the Kleemann exhibits. This track-mounted mobile cone crusher fills one of the last remaining gaps in the Kleemann range of models. Like the other Kleemann crushers in the EVO series, the MCO 9 is designed for user-friendly operation and easy transport, in addition to optimum interlinking options.
A live demonstration showed how the MCO 9 EVO, used in conjunction with the Mobicat MC 110 EVO jaw crusher and mobile triple-deck screening unit, the MS 16 D, form a productive setup for processing natural stone.
Brothers Jürgen and Stefan Wirtgen, managing partners of the Wirtgen Group, held a press conference at the event, detailing their company’s growth. They announced that Kleemann will be greatly increasing factory and warehouse space, as well as doubling its office space. In 2016/2017, Wirtgen will be investing €150 million in its Mineral Technologies business unit.
Having welcomed Benninghoven into the fold, the Wirtgen Group now offers a complete range of solutions in its Mineral Technologies business sector for the extraction of mineral deposits, the processing of natural and recycled materials, and the production of asphalt.
