From 11 to 17 April, the international construction trade fair of superlatives took place as every 3 years in Munich (Germany). Covering an area of approximately 605.000m²/150acres, 3,400 exhibitors showed innovative impulses for the construction industry. The Austrian manufacturer of mobile crushing and screening plants Rockster Recycler showed great new features at this year's Bauma and was rewarded with excellent feedback and new customers.

On almost 400m²/4,300ft² Rockster presented its current portfolio, live on the show the team presented their mainly sold impact crushers, their biggest one, the R1100S and the smallest one, the R700S.

Both crushers could convince the visitors with sophisticated technology, the double functional return / stockpile conveyor, various options and the intuitive new display with quick start function. Above all, in terms of transport dimensions (R700S: 19,3t/42,600lbs & 3,1m/10.2ft height, R1100S: 32,9t/72,600lbs & 3,2m/10.5ft height) Rockster’s designer team considered the needs of the customers, who want to transport their machines as easy as possible and without special permits.

Live crusher demonstration close to the fair

To see a crusher live in action Rockster offered a shuttle service to a nearby construction site, where the impactor R900 including screen box and return belt was crushing demolition debris to a size of 0-22mm/0-0.87in. Interested visitors could take this opportunity and check out the quality of the final grain as well as the performance and get detailed information from experienced Rockster employees or dealers.

Handover of the R1100S

The family company Polixmair Aufbereitungstechnik from Gmunden (Austria) counts on Rockster‘s impact crushers for a couple of years now and has recently purchased the fourth Rockster crusher, the latest model R1100S.

„With the new R1100S we are fully up to date with the latest technical state of the art machinery. The intuitive control display with the quick start function and the continuous, fully hydraulic gap adjustment are laborsaving features and help us to save time. The fact that the screen box can be lowered to the ground facilitates the change of screening meshes and any maintenance works. Also with the remote control, we have more possibilities now, as for example adjusting the crusher speed and the speed of the vibration feeder. So the excavator operator has the opportunity to intervene quickly in the crushing process,” explains CEO Ferdinand Polixmair.

Immediately after the Bauma the R1100S is sent to its first jobsite, some projects in the asphalt recycling, as well as in the natural stone processing are already fixed.

Phenomenal fair with very international audience

"It was a surprisingly strong Bauma, which exceeded our expectations. Due to the growing European bureaucracy and the loss of markets, especially in southern Europe, we did not expect this amount of prospective customers. Encouraging was the response of visitors who used the fair to compare different products, as they commended the benefits of our technology. Especially our R1100S - equipped with the latest refinements – was convincing many visitors and we obtained several orders for this crushing plant already at the fair. Once again, it was astonishing how international the Bauma really is, we had potential customers even from less known countries such as the Tuamotu Islands, New Caledonia and Kiribati at our booth," summarizes Wolfgang Kormann, CEO of Rockster his impressions of this year's Bauma exhibition.
