Sandvik Transforming Rock Processing at bauma
At bauma 2025, Sandvik is poised to showcase its latest eco-efficient rock processing innovations, meeting the industry’s growing demand for safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.
Aiming squarely at optimising operations and reducing environmental impact, Sandvik’s portfolio offers robust solutions designed to drive the construction and mining sectors into a greener, smarter future.
Advanced Cone Crusher Technology
Taking centre stage at Sandvik’s exhibition will be the ground-breaking 800i cone crusher series, integrated with the state-of-the-art ACS-c 5 automation system. Engineered to deliver exceptional performance across secondary and tertiary crushing applications in mining and quarrying, the 800i series exemplifies Sandvik’s commitment to sustainability and productivity.
Visitors at bauma can closely examine the Sandvik CH830i, a flagship model in the series boasting advanced engineering and unmatched durability. Its robust unibody design features fewer moving parts, ensuring greater reliability and simplified maintenance. Significantly, the switch from welded to bolted components increases structural integrity, while innovative plastic backing-free liners completely eliminate epoxy resin use, substantially reducing environmental waste.
According to Richard Harris, President of Sandvik Rock Processing Solutions, the goal is clear: “Not only is our latest equipment easier to operate, manage, maintain, and service, but it also contributes to our industry’s desire to reduce its environmental impact. Through close partnerships and relentless innovation, we’re paving the way for eco-efficient and profitable rock processing.”
Vibrating Screens and Feeders Enhanced by Real-time Monitoring
Also on display are Sandvik’s latest vibrating screens and feeders, now equipped with the pioneering ACS-s condition monitoring system. This cutting-edge technology delivers crucial real-time data, enabling informed maintenance decisions that boost uptime and efficiency dramatically.
To showcase ACS-s in action, Sandvik’s stand will feature a fully operational vibrating screen. Visitors will witness first-hand how the system’s advanced sensors and intuitive software interact to provide immediate operational insights. Complementing this technology are Sandvik’s innovative digital tools DeckMapp™ and WearApp™, designed to optimise screen deck maintenance, improve uptime, and enhance productivity through predictive analytics.
Seamless Integration for Enhanced Operational Efficiency
Both ACS-c 5 and ACS-s systems integrate effortlessly with SAM by Sandvik, the cloud-based digital assistant revolutionising operational management in crushing and screening plants. SAM gathers comprehensive data from connected equipment, enabling operators to monitor machine health, streamline communications, receive timely alerts, and proactively manage spare part inventories—all from one centralised interface.
This integrated digital approach not only enhances operational efficiency but also supports sustainability by reducing downtime, optimising energy usage, and minimising environmental impact.
Championing Sustainability through Innovative Manufacturing
Sustainability isn’t merely a buzzword at Sandvik—it’s central to their operational ethos. At their eco-friendly foundry in Svedala, Sweden, the company manufactures parts using over 92% recycled steel and relies heavily on renewable energy sources. This forward-thinking facility significantly reduces the carbon footprint associated with new materials.
Remarkably, Sandvik’s recycling efforts prevent approximately 16,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually, clearly demonstrating the tangible benefits of their circular approach. Moreover, Sandvik recently introduced the industry’s first Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) specifically for manganese crusher wear parts, reinforcing transparency and accountability in their environmental claims.
Digitalisation as a Core Innovation Driver
Embracing digitalisation, Sandvik continues to transform the rock processing industry. By prioritising ease of use, reduced maintenance, and improved operational insights, their digital solutions are designed to support the evolving needs of their customers.
Richard Harris emphasises this strategy, noting: “Digitalisation remains a cornerstone of our innovation strategy. It significantly enhances efficiency and sustainability across crushing and screening operations, shaping a brighter future for the entire industry.”
Visitors at bauma 2025 can explore these innovations further by visiting Sandvik’s stand (Hall C2, Stand 149). Comprehensive details about Sandvik’s extensive offerings and insights into their digitalisation initiatives are also available online at rockprocessing.sandvik.
Driving a Smarter, Greener Future in Rock Processing
As industries increasingly prioritise sustainability alongside productivity, Sandvik’s innovative technologies position the company firmly at the forefront of change.
By championing advanced digital tools, sustainable manufacturing processes, and operational efficiency, Sandvik continues to set new standards in rock processing technology, proving that efficiency and environmental responsibility can indeed go hand-in-hand.
