Sandvik unveils the all-electric UJ516E wheeled jaw crusher

Complementing this innovation, the UJ516E offers a highly adaptable solution for both quarrying and mining applications. Its forward-thinking design boosts operational efficiency while ensuring flexibility across a wide range of working environments.

Engineered for efficiency

Built on a robust quadruple axle bogie, the UJ516E features the proven Sandvik CJ412 jaw crusher, renowned for its reliability and heavy-duty design. This results in consistent productivity and quality performance.

Operators will benefit from the hydraulically adjustable jaw setting, level sensor over the jaw and step-less feeder control, which allow precise management of material flow and optimize production. This not only boosts throughput but also helps reduce energy consumption, supporting both cost-efficiency and sustainability goals.

With a large intake opening of 47” x 33” / 1200 x 830 mm, the UJ516E handles large volumes effortlessly. The integrated grizzly screen efficiently removes fines, while the foldable natural fines conveyor and high discharge height enable flexible stockpiling options. Quick setup features, including hydraulic jacking legs and remote-controlled hopper adjustments, ensure rapid deployment on site.

Sustainability first

The UJ516E is fully electric, eliminating hydraulic oil use and significantly reducing emissions and noise. All components are electrically driven for low maintenance and high uptime. It connects to external power sources, either to a generator or grid supply, and features an advanced electric drive system, including motors, starters, soft start for the crusher, and a frequency drive— all seamlessly controlled by a user-friendly UL/CE electrical control panel.

Safety and Support

Safety is ensured by ground-level controls, built-in access points, and emergency stop buttons located throughout the plant. Service platforms are located on both sides of the crusher to allow safe and stable access. The UJ516E is also telematics-ready, offering a 7-year My Fleet subscription for remote monitoring and operational insights

First impressions exceed expectations

Early adopters have praised the UJ516E for its impressive feed size, feed rate, and material handling capabilities. Customers appreciate the large feeder drives, optional vibrating underscreen, and automation features that prevent overfilling and blockages, resulting in higher productivity and reduced energy consumption.

One distributor who has witnesses these first hand is Miller Bradford & Risberg (MBR) in Wisconsin. Lane Devereux, Product Specialist at MBR said:

The UJ516E has exceeded all our expectations. Features we particularly liked are the large feeder drives, which enable the plant to start under load, the vibrating underscreen, and the CJ412 jaw crusher, which carries a lot of inertia and performs exceptionally well on hard rock.

He added, "The design and jaw automation features are outstanding. The level sensor prevents overfilling and blockages, optimizing the overall crushing process. As a result, we are able to achieve more productivity with reduced energy consumption."

Market Availability

Now launching in North America, the UJ516E is available to order through our sales network. This model is well-suited for medium to large quarry and aggregate producers who require a cost-effective solution with a reduced environmental footprint. It can be configured to suit different application needs and available with or without the vibrating underscreen.

“The UJ516E represents our commitment to delivering smart, sustainable crushing solutions. It’s not just about performance—it’s about shaping a cleaner, more efficient future for the industry” said Manny Maloney, President Sandvik Mobile Crushing and Screening.
