Sandvik Mobile Crushing and Screening has completed its new electric tracked crushing and screening train with the QH443E electric cone crusher, setting new industry benchmarks for sustainability, productivity, and fuel efficiency.
Sandvik’s electric train also includes the UJ443E fully electric jaw crusher (launched in 2023) and the QA452e hybrid triple-deck Doublescreen (launched in 2022).
“Sandvik Mobiles has always been at the forefront of innovation, and completing the development of our tracked electric train marks a significant step towards a more sustainable and cost-effective future for the crushing and screening industry,” said Manny Maloney, president, Sandvik Mobile Crushing and Screening Division.
“This is just the beginning of our commitment to develop solutions that improve the productivity, safety, and sustainability of our customers’ operations. With its advanced capabilities, this technology is particularly well-suited for heavy-duty applications, including large quarries and mining operations, where maximizing uptime and reduced environmental impact are critical.”
Both the UJ443E and QH443E feature an onboard genset and electrically driven components onboard. This setup allows both units to operate either by connecting to an external electricity supply or via the onboard genset using HVO or diesel.
Using an external supply or grid connection provides further advantages, including significantly lower running costs, extended drivetrain service intervals, reduced refueling time, minimal onsite emissions, and lower noise levels.
Sandvik said the UJ443E and QA452e are currently available for order, while the QH443E will be available in the European market from mid-March and globally later this year.
