Customers from Wirtgen South Africa gathered at Raumix Willows Quarry in Pretoria on 9 June 2017 for the launch of the company’ s latest offering to the South African market: the much-anticipated track-mounted Kleemann Mobiscreen MS 703 EVO classifying screen. The event was the first in a series of roadshows, demonstrations, and site visits to introduce the dynamic screening plant to the local market.
Wirtgen SA managing director Heinrich Schulenburg welcomed those present and kicked off the proceedings with an overview
Market share of the Wirtgen Group and its international operations, as well as insight into the announcement regarding the Wirtgen Group’ s acquisition by US-based manufacturer John Deere & Co. Also present from Wirtgen SA were Mike Newby, sales consultant: Mineral Technology; Waylon Kukard, sales manager; and Lantie van der Merwe, sales consultant: Kleemann, who were on hand to introduce the new machine and answer questions about its specifications and capabilities.
Newby highlighted Kleemann’ s contributions to the crushing and screening industry over
According to Newby, the Wirtgen Group is one of the largest providers of mobile crushing and screening equipment in the world, with a total market share of 9.8 % in 2016, behind only Terex( including Finlay and Powerscreen), Sandvik, and McClosky, and ahead of Metso.
Of the 5 700 mobile crushers sold in 2016, 1 800 units were sold in Europe, where Wirtgen has 15 % of the total market share, and 1 400 units were sold in North America, where the Group has 5 % of the total market share.
The Group also has 8 % of the market share in South America, 6 % in Australia( where its crushers are used in iron ore applications, among others), and 4 % in Africa. In South Africa, Kleemann crushers and screens are used in several different applications, including quarry rock in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng, coal in Mpumalanga, and manganese in the Northern Cape.
The large engine compartment eases maintenance, and other service components are easily accessible via the all-round work platform. the past 160 years, including the fact that it was one of the first companies to offer a hand-fed, wheel-mounted crushing screening plant in the 1950s.“ In 2010, four years after joining the Wirtgen Group, Kleemann started manufacturing its new EVO range of mobile crushers and screens, and in 2013, it turned its focus completely to mobile equipment.”
“ Kleemann crushers offer unmatched fuel efficiency,” Newby added.“ Our MC110R EVO jaw crusher( jaw size: 1 100mm × 700mm) uses about 18 litres of fuel an hour, and our MCO 9 S EVO cone crusher( crusher inlet size: 950mm) runs at around 22 litres an hour. This is about a third of the fuel that machines from other manufacturers use— nobody can touch our fuel consumption. This is because all of our machines run dieselelectric drives, and all the drives, except for the tracks, are electrical. When the machine is in working mode, everything— even the crusher, which is driven directly from the engine via fluid coupling— is running off electricity, ensuring exceptional fuel consumption.”
MS 703 EVO
Wirtgen SA’ s sales consultant for Kleemann, Lantie van der Merwe, gave a breakdown of the specifications and operation of the MS 703 EVO. Developed and designed in Germany, and built at the Kleemann facility in India under the same quality assurance systems enforced at all Wirtgen Group facilities across the globe, the MS 703 EVO is a triple-deck mobile classification screen that precisely screens out almost all types of coarse natural stone, residual construction materials, and iron particulates of up to 150mm up to four fractions.
A member of the company’ s versatile and efficient Mobiscreen MS EVO line, the MS 703 EVO is intended for use in applications in both the mining and construction sectors, with its favourable transport dimensions and short set-up times designed to meet the demands of contractor crushers.
“ The‘ MS’ stands for mobile screen, the‘ 70’ refers to the 7m 2 screening area( 1 520mm × 4 400mm), and the‘ 3’ refers to the triple deck. The machine has a feed capacity of 350 tonnes per hour with a maximum feed size of 150mm,
