New to North America, Kleemann’s four new classifying screens are the track-mounted double-deck classifying screens MS 702i EVO and MS 952i EVO, and the triple-deck classifying screens MS 703i EVO and MS 953i EVO.
The two plant sizes have a screening area in the upper deck of 75 or 102 sq. ft., respectively. As with the crushing plants, the classifying screens with their convenient transport dimensions and short setup times optimize the productivity of contractor crushing operations. High maximum output It starts with feeding, which, thanks to the generously sized feed hopper, is possible both with a wheel loader as well as an upstream crushing plant. The material on the extra-wide feeding conveyor is conveyed to the screen box. The screening angle of the box can be adapted to the application. An impact plate at the conveyor discharge distributes the material evenly on the screen surface, keeping wear to a minumum and achieving a high output. Putting safety first All plant functions are started automatically, without each side discharge conveyor having to be activated individually. Data on machine operation can be read off at the operator panel. The plant is moved without jolts thanks to the proportionally activated hydraulic valves. When interlinked with MOBICAT jaw, MOBIREX impact, or MOBICONE cone crushing plants from the EVO series, whose size and output are tuned to the EVO screening plants, the plants work particularly efficiently and achieve a high output. An emergency-off function enhances safe working conditions. The large engine compartment ease maintenance, and further service components are easily accessible via the all-round work platform. Thanks to the easy access to the screen deck, it’s now easier for users to change screen media. The fines conveyor can be lowered, for example, to allow access to the lower screen deck. From a large number of screen media, Kleemann offers the suitable surface for each application.

New Kleemann Plant Marks Commitment to Industry
In early 2010 Kleemann GmbH completed its new headquarters and state-of-the-art manufacturing plant near Göppingen, just east of Stuttgart in south-central Germany.
The new plant marks Kleemann’s commitment to the minerals processing industry and incorporates the highest production technologies for the manufacture of aggregates and minerals processing equipment.
This new “greenfield” manufacturing plant is making Kleemann mineral processing equipment more available, and will speed product delivery in North America in coming months. “With 350,000 sq. ft. of production area and 40,000 sq ft of administration area, Kleemann will excite the market with new models and features for 2010,” said Evan Clarke, vice president.
For over 150 years Kleemann has led the minerals processing industry with design ingenuity, producing crushing and screening equipment for many leading markets. Since being acquired by the Wirtgen Group in 2006, the company has experienced dramatic growth which has led to reinvestment by the group to help streamline production and allow for greater volume for its new expanding markets.
“As Kleemann gathers momentum within the United States and Canadian markets, and new dealers take on the product line, many customers are seeing the ‘Kleemann Advantage’,” Clarke said. “We bring to the market a wide range of track mobile crushers and screens with many unique features.”
The new plant utilizes the most modern German high-tech manufacturing processes, including short internal product assembly lines. On the new 1.34 million sq. ft., site, the new manufacturing facility covers an area of 376,736 sq. ft., complemented with a 43,055 sq. ft. administration building. The oversized interior capacity of the new main production facility accommodates the enormous dimensions of Kleemann’s largest crushing and screening machines.
In the plant’s central warehouse contains two storage zones in which some 10,000 items are stocked. “On average, 200 items with a total weight of 8.8 tons are handled here each day,” said Kleemann central warehouse manager Martin Zemmel. “We really benefited from the know-how of the other Wirtgen Group companies when building our new facility.”
Kleemann’s new painting facility for large parts is one of the largest such facilities in Germany, with a tremendous load-bearing capacity of 33 short tons, and around 21,500 sq. ft. of floor space. Kleemann’s switch-over from wet spray painting to powder-coating not only marks a major step towards boosting surface quality, but also has far less of an environmental impact, with the system far exceeding the requirements of the EU environmental guidelines.
Kleemann’s Roots Run Deep
Kleemann is a newcomer to the North American aggregate processing market, but its roots lie deep. Established in Germany in 1857, Kleemann was acquired by Wirtgen Group in 2006. Today, a growing network of equipment distributors and dealers is enabling Kleemann Inc. USA to boost its domestic profile and serve customers in North America.
Today Kleemann manufactures and markets a broad range of durable, productive mobile and stationary processing equipment and technology for crushed stone, demolition waste and mixed construction waste.
Kleemann’s product brand names are:
• The MOBICAT mobile primary jaw on crawler chassis with feeding unit, pre-screen and conveyors built in various sizes ranging from 100-1,000 tph capacity
• The MOBIREX mobile primary impactor on crawler chassis with feeding unit, pre-screen and conveyors built in various sizes ranging from 100 to 1,000 tph capacity
• The MOBIFOX mobile secondary crushing machines with feeding unit, impact crusher and a screen producing up to 3 grain sizes
• The MOBICONE mobile secondary crushing machines with feeding unit, cone crusher and a screen to produce up to 3 grain sizes, and
• The MOBISCREEN mobile screening machines, producing up to 4 grain sizes with fixed or swiveling discharge belts, with a screening surface dependent on ultimate use.
