IN Brief:
- SBM Mineral Processing will present mobile crushing and concrete production equipment at Hillhead 2026.
- The line-up includes hybrid-electric Remax and Jawmax crushers, V-series impact crushers, and Euromix and Dynamix concrete plants.
- The focus is on lower fuel use, flexible site operation, remote monitoring, and higher material recovery.
SBM Mineral Processing will use Hillhead 2026 to strengthen its position in the UK and Irish markets, presenting mobile crushing and concrete production equipment with a focus on hybrid-electric drive technology and flexible site operation.
The Austrian manufacturer will work alongside distribution partners Banner Equipment and Orba Group at the show, highlighting its mobile processing, recycling, and concrete plant portfolio. The line-up includes Remax and Jawmax crushing equipment, V-series vertical shaft impact crushers, and Euromix and Dynamix concrete plants.
Central to the display will be SBM’s latest hybrid-electrified Remax impact crushers and Jawmax jaw crushers. The machines feature plug-in capability and electric drives for crushers, conveyors, and pumps. SBM says the design can reduce fuel consumption, emissions, wear, and maintenance while allowing full-electric operation from the grid or an external generator where site conditions allow.
The Remax 600 impact crusher will take centre stage. It is designed to process feed sizes up to 1,000mm, produce outputs of up to 600 tonnes per hour, and deliver up to five final grain sizes using optional one-, two-, or three-deck add-on screens. Optional double magnetic separators and wind sifters across the screen decks are intended to improve recycled product quality and material recovery.
The Jawmax 450 mobile jaw crusher will also be featured. The machine includes a two-deck pre-screen and a 1,100mm x 700mm reversible crusher, with throughput of up to 450 tonnes per hour. SBM says the model combines mobility with low fuel consumption, overload protection, blockage protection, remote-control operation, and app-based monitoring through its Crush Control plant management system.
Alongside crushing equipment, SBM will present mobile Euromix and semi-mobile Dynamix concrete plants, with daily production capacities from 800m³ to more than 2,000m³. The Euromix range is designed for rapid deployment without foundations and can typically be commissioned in less than two days. The Dynamix 2500 delivers up to 115m³ per hour of hardened concrete and offers optional insulation, heating systems, and full cladding for more challenging operating conditions.
The UK and Irish market opportunity is shaped by two overlapping pressures. Contractors, quarry operators, and recyclers are under pressure to recover more value from construction and demolition waste, while concrete producers are looking for production models that can be moved closer to demand. Mobile and semi-mobile plant can reduce haulage, improve deployment speed, and allow operators to adjust capacity around project pipelines.
Hybrid-electric crushing is also becoming more commercially relevant. Fuel cost, emissions reporting, noise constraints, and client sustainability requirements are pushing equipment buyers to assess the energy model of each machine alongside peak output. Full-electric operation is attractive where site power is available, but many UK sites still need the flexibility of onboard power or external generators.
SBM’s focus on app-based monitoring and plant management reflects the same direction. Operators want better visibility over performance, maintenance, downtime, and fuel use. On large recycling or quarrying operations, small gains in uptime and product consistency can have a significant commercial effect.
Hillhead will give SBM a practical platform to show how its equipment performs against UK site expectations around mobility, support, throughput, and serviceability. The technology direction is clear: higher productivity, more electrified drive systems, and greater recovery from complex material streams. The commercial test is whether those gains can be delivered without making machines harder to operate in the conditions contractors face every day.
