A production system for road construction with zero operating emissions and three market-premières are the highlights of the appearance at the show
Under the motto ‘You’ll never crush alone’, the Wirtgen Group sets the focus at Hillhead 2026 on end-to-end solutions for materials processing with five crushers and screening plants from Kleemann. Also appearing at Booth Q1 at the show in Buxton is a purely battery-electric production system for road rehabilitation with zero operating emissions.
Solutions for the materials processing sector
Smart jaw crusher for a wide range of applications
A landmark product for the UK market is the MOBICAT MC 110 EVO2 jaw crusher, which combines a smart operating concept with high efficiency. The plant is the ideal choice for pre-crushing almost all kinds of quarried stone and numerous recycling tasks. The plant is characterised by compact dimensions, efficient prescreening, a simple handling concept with SPECTIVE und SPECTIVE CONNECT and high plant performance. Innovative control and overload systems, the continuous feed system, and an independently vibrating double-deck prescreen optimise material flow and increase the plant’s utilisation rates and the overall performance of the jaw crusher.
Combined impact crusher and screening plant from Kleemann
With its all-electric E-Drive drive concept, the compact MOBIREX MR 100 NEOe impact crusher unites flexibility, low transport weight and a wide range of potential applications in the processing of demolition material, concrete, reclaimed asphalt, and soft to medium-hardness quarried stone. Together with the MOBISCREEN MSS 502 EVO scalper, the plant presented at the booth forms the basis of a perfectly coordinated production system for asphalt recycling. Both the MOBIREX MR 100 NEO and the MOBISCREEN MSS 502 EVO can be operated electrically with the aid of the Dual Power option. This means, for example, that milled material for use in the production of new asphalt mixes in asphalt mixing plants can be processed in place with zero operating emissions.
Extensive portfolio of extremely adaptable screening plants
With the MOBISCREEN MSS 502 EVO and MSS 802 EVO scalpers and the MOBISCREEN MSC 702 EVO classifying screen, Kleemann is showing a representative sample of its portfolio of screening plants. The plants stand for cutting-edge screening technology and outstanding versatility that enables them to adapt to a wide range of materials processing applications. Thanks to their Dual-Power drive option, they can also be operated entirely with electric power. A large selection of screen media, flexibly adjustable screening parameters and an intuitive plant control concept increase process reliability and, not least through correct use, also improve occupational safety.
Solutions for the road construction sector
A production system for zero operating emissions on construction sites and three UK-market premières
Urban road construction is primarily characterised by the repair and maintenance of existing infrastructure on small construction sites. With the Wirtgen cold milling machine W 50 Re, the Vögele SUPER 1300-5e road paver and the Hamm HX 70e tandem roller, the Wirtgen Group has developed a production system that is based on a consistently battery-electric drive concept and is celebrating its UK-market première at Hillhead. Here, standardised components for all construction machines result in common service components, high availability of drive system components and a universal, simple operating concept. For the first time, this modular concept offers road construction contractors an end-to-end production system that enables the realisation of road construction projects with zero operating emissions. Solutions from a single source also mean high operational reliability and perfectly coordinated processes in all machines and telematics solutions.
Asphalt production with green hydrogen
At Hillhead, the company group is also presenting the new MULTI JET burner from Benninghoven. With the world’s first burner for asphalt mixing plants that can also be fired exclusively with green hydrogen, the drying and heating process for virgin material and reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) is also CO2 emission-free. In addition to the burner, the new burner control system and a feed system with a patented pressure regulating section are also part of the perfectly coordinated all-in-one solution.
Rental machines round off the exhibits at the show
The Wirtgen Group presents two rollers from compaction specialist Hamm especially for the rentals market – the new 2.7 t HD 12 G VV tandem roller and the extremely versatile HC 70i VIO compactor, which enables compaction with both vibration and oscillation.
Industry experts from the Wirtgen Group provide insights into digital transformation
The Wirtgen Group product portfolio at the show in Buxton offers much more than construction equipment on tracks and wheels. Applications-expertise, a dense customer service network and digital solutions are essential building blocks with which the Wirtgen Group supports its customers in their daily work. ‘Our group of companies is also a driver of innovation in the digital transformation of our industry’, says Paul Holmes, Managing Director of Wirtgen Ltd., the UK subsidiary of the Wirtgen Group. Here, he specifically refers to the topics of Jobsite Intelligence and Smart Automation. Jobsite Intelligence means making better decisions with the aid of validated data and better information. ‘The Wirtgen Group Performance Tracker helps our customers to make use of performance data to react quickly, adapt plans or document their work. These data can also be analysed to transform them into knowledge and, at the end of the day, into profitability’, explains Paul Holmes.
Smart Automation means the maximisation of performance and precision with digital solutions such as Smart Level Pro, Smart Pave, Smart Compact Pro, AutoPilot 2.0, SPECTIVE CONNECT etc. ‘With the aid of digital assistance systems or automated machine functions, even inexperienced machine operators can achieve results as precise as those delivered by an experienced operator. The consequence: refinishing work and material usage are reduced, which in turn increases quality and cost efficiency,” adds the Managing Director.
At Booth Q1 at the show, product and application experts from Wirtgen Ltd. are available to answer questions from trade visitors on this and other topics from the worlds of materials processing and road construction.

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.
