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 .”
