Eggersmann launches Roktec IC 1000 impact crusher

Eggersmann Recycling Technology, based in Germany, has launched its Roktec IC 1000—the company’s first impact crusher for mobile construction material processing.

With the launch, Eggersmann aims to expand its footprint in the mineral processing sector and offer a solution for mobile processing of construction materials.

"Eggersmann is known as a full-service provider in recycling, which is why we are regularly asked for a professional solution for the mobile processing of demolition material," Eggersmann Impaktor GmbH Managing Director Pascal Petermann says. "With the new Eggersmann Roktec IC 1000, we can now also meet the demand for high-quality substitute building material production. Because our new impact crusher produces cubic end products from concrete, asphalt or bricks, these can be compacted excellently, for example, and are therefore perfect for immediate use in road substructures or agricultural road construction."

Specifically designed for the treatment of mineral construction material, the mobile impact crusher features an overbelt magnet for ejecting iron materials, reinforcements made of crushed reinforced concrete and an impact chamber with a diameter up to 17 millimeters.

With its large infeed, the Roktec IC 1000 can process material sizes up to 88 millimeters, and end product grain sizes may range from zero to 80 millimeters. The material size is defined by an integrated screening system after the crushing process and freed from oversized particles by an integrated screening system. Oversized particles are then returned to the feed hopper via a return belt, creating a closed crushing circuit and producing consistent, homogeneous end products.

Both the distance and angle of the impact swingarms toward the crushing rotor can be adjusted at any time. The return conveyor can also be folded out and used as a stockpile conveyor. It can also be swung out if necessary and used as a stockpile conveyor.

To secure the crushing chamber, the Roktec IC 1000 also has an adjustable protective flap that keeps oversized material away from the chamber. More fine materials such as sand, gravel and soil are screened in front of the crushing chamber and dispensed via a pre-screening discharge belt.

"Sand in particular has an abrasive effect in the crushing chamber and thus causes greater wear. It is therefore important to us that this is removed before the crushing process," Petermann says. "Overall, the machine is designed for the lowest possible wear and maximum availability. Therefore, the material does not simply fall from the crushing chamber onto the discharge belt, but first lands on a robust discharge chute. It then gently passes this on to the discharge belt, thus preventing the belt from being damaged unnecessarily."

In April, Eggersmann entered the building materials recycling sector with the introduction of its C 14 primary shredder, Impaktor 250 crusher and Blue Select 15.44 drum screen. The primary shredder offers the ability to process waste before it is transported for the first time. Alternatively, the Impaktor 250 can be used both as a shredder for waste and as a crusher for minerals. The drum screening machine was introduced as a direct supplement to the Impaktor to form a mobile recycling system.
