Powerscreen looking to crush your carbon footprint

Powerscreen, one of the world’s leading providers of mobile crushing, screening, and conveying equipment, will once again exhibit at this year’s Hillhead show in Buxton, where they look forward to educating customers on decarbonizing their crushing and screening operations.

Commenting on the upcoming exhibition, Sean Loughran, Powerscreen business line director and general manager, said: ‘As our mission towards net zero continues, we are excited to meet with likeminded companies, to discuss how Powerscreen crushing, screening, and conveying equipment can help crush their carbon footprint. Our latest partnership with CATAGEN, as part of the UK’s Red Diesel Replacement scheme (RDR), is a prime example of our commitment to research and innovation in this field.’

Based in Northern Ireland, CATAGEN are catalyst testing experts who develop new technologies in green hydrogen and e-fuels. Powerscreen and CATAGEN are currently working on a joint project that will deliver a decarbonized end-to-end demonstration of a Powerscreen Premiertrak 450E crusher and Chieftain 1700XE screener, powered by green hydrogen and e-diesel, at a working quarry site in Northern Ireland later this year.

In addition to helping companies reduce carbon emissions in crushing and screening operations, Powerscreen will present the ability of their new 1300X cone crusher in the demo area.

‘At the Powerscreen World Dealer Conference in Italy last year, we launched our latest jaw crushing technology with the Premiertrak 450 and our next-generation impact crushers with the Trakpactor 480 and 480SR. It’s now time to replicate these advances with cones and we are looking forward to showcasing these advancements in the demo area,’ said Powerscreen product director Neil Robinson.
