How do you modernize a decades-old processing plant without interrupting production? At the Oberscheld diabase plant in Germany, operated by HH-Basalt- und Diabaswerk GmbH, this was the challenge.

West Texas Rock Resources depends on high‑quality aggregates, which demand reliable, heavy‑duty equipment in harsh desert conditions. Every part of the crushing train must be efficient and handle high throughput. With support from dealer Crushing Tigers, they built a Sandvik setup that meets their strict product standards.

Wordsworth Excavations, a leading name in earthworks, ground remediation and construction, based in Barnsley, UK, has expanded its fleet with the addition of the Sandvik QE342 mobile scalper from Retec Equipment.

In mineral processing, wear is more than a maintenance issue. It means costly downtime, safety risks from frequent interventions, and the environmental impact of producing, transporting, and scrapping tonnes of replacement steel every year. Extending wear life is therefore not only about productivity, but a critical lever for sustainability.

In mining, the journey from solid rock to valuable mineral is energy intensive. Few processes illustrate this more than comminution: the crushing and grinding of ore.

In the mining and construction industries, equipment longevity is a balancing act. Push it too far, and performance drops. Replace it too soon, and you lose value still left in the system. When a cone crusher reaches the end of its working life, operators face a familiar dilemma: a costly full replacement or a complex overhaul that risks extending downtime.

What happens to a worn-out mantle or concave when it’s replaced? At our foundry in Svedala, Sweden, the answer is simple: it becomes part of the next one.

In mineral processing, uptime is everything – and yet screen deck maintenance has long relied on inconsistent methods, guesswork, and fragmented data. DeckMapp™ is the evolutionary digital tool from Sandvik that, alongside AI-powered WearApp™ can change that. Together, they empower plant operators to make smarter, faster decisions based on reliable wear data and visual insights – resulting in reduced downtime, fewer errors, and more sustainable maintenance practices.
