SBM: Crushing & Concrete Mixing in Las Vegas

SBM Mineral Processing is celebrating an important premiere at the upcoming CONEXPO-CON/AGG. For the first time, the Austrian manufacturer will present its mobile crushing plants and mobile concrete mixing technology together at the leading North American trade fair (Silver Lot, Stand SV3122). The 600-tph REMAX 600 large impact crusher and the 230-yd³/hr EUROMIX® 4000 batch mixing plant on display are the top models in their respective series, underscoring the technological leadership that has distinguished all solutions from both SBM divisions for years. For the manufacturer, the trade show appearance is another important step in developing a close-knit sales and service network in North America.

Hybrid makes the difference

Long before its competitors, SBM Mineral Processing relied on the advantages of diesel-electric drives for its tracked mobile crushing plants. Today, all nine models of JAWMAX® jaw crushers and REMAX impact crushers are hybrid electrified, consume up to 40% less diesel than comparable fully hydraulic or partially electrified plants, and can be operated fully electrically with unrestricted functionality thanks to a plug-in option. Other features of the “SBM Mobiles” with operating weights of 50,000 to 175,000 lbs and production capacities of 250 to 600 tph include class-leading crusher sizes and a comprehensive selection of highly efficient secondary screens, ensuring real added value through high-quality end products in both quarrying and recycling.

The best example of this is SBM's flagship REMAX 600, which will make its debut in North America at the Las Vegas show. This large impact crusher can handle feed sizes of up to 40 inches and has a maximum capacity of 600 tons per hour. Even when fully equipped with a two-deck pre-screen, longitudinal magnetic discharge and optional one-, two-, or three-deck add-on screens, the REMAX 600 weighs only 175,000 lbs. All equipment remains on the machine during transport. The intelligent SBM CRUSH CONTROL system monitors the quick commissioning process and enables inexperienced operators to work safely and efficiently thanks to extensive sensor technology and automatic adjustment of all system functions.

High-quality, fully flexible mobile concrete

For over 25 years, the EUROMIX® series has been of the leaders in the premium segment of mobile concrete mixing plants, which is defined by quick relocation with short set-up times, high concrete quality with a wide variety of types, weather-independent availability in 24/7 year-round operation, and, of course, high productivity for large-scale projects.

A distinctive feature of EUROMIX wet batching plants is the well-insulated mixer module with BHS twin-shaft mixer, dosing technology for binders, water, and additives, high-pressure water system, compressed air equipment, and plant electrical system. Access to all components from both sides makes inspection and maintenance work easy and safe.

Depending on the model, the mixer modules are designed as semi-trailer units or optionally with own undercarriages and can be quickly set up on the construction site by crane. The integrated concrete discharge allows quick and safe multi-sided access with truck mixers or dump trucks. The binder silos and aggregate hoppers with integrated belt scales are also designed as portable units and can be expanded modularly depending on requirements (recipes, daily production, etc.). All EUROMIX modules can be set up on a sufficiently solid surface or on mobile concrete foundations. Plug-and-play connections for the control system and electrical components usually allow installation even larger plants in less than two working days.

Overall, the EUROMIX series today offers models with production capacities ranging from 100 to well over 200 yd³/hr. This enables daily peaks of up to 3000 yd³ in solo operation, and even far beyond that when two mixing modules are combined. The two largest models, which SBM has been offering on the North American market for a good two years now, fall within this performance range: In addition to the EUROMIX 3300 SPACE (4.35 yd³/batch; 190 yd³/hr), this is primarily the EUROMIX 4000 with a 5.2 yd³ BHS mixer and a production capacity of 230 yd³/hr, which will be on display in Las Vegas.
