The Germany-based Wirtgen Group business unit of John Deere says its Kleemann Mobirex MR 130(i) PRO crusher has been honored by a German government-related agency with a design award because of the machine’s “high functionality, performance and ergonomics.”

“The Kleemann plant impressed the jury of the German Design Award with a combination of environmentally friendly drive concept, ideal functionality and user friendliness in interaction with a striking design,” Wirtgen Group says.

“The modern impact crusher Mobirex MR 130i PRO makes all-electric operation possible," the German Design Council says. "At the same time, the design impressively reflects the requirements of functionality, performance and ergonomics.”

German Design Awards are presented each year by the German Design Council. That entity was founded in 1953 on the initiative of the German Federal Parliament as a foundation designed to support the economy by creating brand added-value through design, according to Wirtgen Group.

“The Mobirex MR 130(i) PRO is the latest representative of the PRO line from Kleemann," Wirtgen Group says. "The extremely powerful impact crusher is used as a primary and secondary crusher in soft to medium-hard natural stone and recycling.”

Wirtgen Group describes the model as meeting high environmental standards thanks to the diesel-electric drive combined with the option of an external power supply.

In terms of operating the Mobirex, Wirtgen Group says a combination of smartphone, radio remote control or touch panel makes control from a distance possible.

“In spite of its size, the MR 130(i) PRO can be moved in an uncomplicated manner from site to site thanks to well thought out hydraulic folding functions," the company adds.
