Kleemann honored for crusher design

Crushing and screening equipment maker Kleemann, part of the Windhagen, Germany-based Wirtgen Group, says it has been honored with “two internationally renowned design awards” pertaining to its EVO2 jaw and cone crushers.

“With these awards, Kleemann has once again demonstrated its innovative strength,” says the company regarding its German Design Award and United States-based Good Design Award honors.

Continues the company, “The mobile jaw crusher MobiCat MC 110(i) EVO2 [and] the mobile cone crusher MobiCone MCO 90(i) EVO2 belong to the new EVO2 generation. Deployed as a linked combination of plants or individually, both crushers were designed to meet economic, ergonomic and ecological requirements, which, together with consistent stylistic elements, ultimately led to a design worthy of the awards.”

In Germany, Kleemann says the cross-industrial German Design Award “counts as one of the most prestigious international awards in the design scene.” According to a German Design Award jury, the jaw crusher MobiCat MC 110(i) EVO2 “impressed with its compact, progressive design, which perfectly meets the demands for power and performance, modern technology and ergonomics, internally and externally.”

In the U.S., the Good Design Award judges have awarded the MobiCat MC 110(i) EVO2 and the Mobicone MCO 90(i) EVO2. “The award-winning products must not only have extraordinary designs and aesthetics but, above all, demonstrate innovative strength, functionality and energy efficiency,” states Kleemann. “In the category Industry Design, the powerful design of the new crushing plants also impressed in this area in the U.S.”
