SBM Mineral Processing has taken a positive
view of Hillhead 2026, the UK's leading
quarrying demonstration show. For the first time
in Buxton, the Austrian manufacturer
showcased not only its mobile crushing plants,
but also its extensive portfolio of mobile
concrete mixing technology.
"It was clear from the outset that the
extreme weather, with temperatures of
around 36°C, would have a major
impact on the show in the quarry. That
made it all the more encouraging to
see visitor numbers clearly pick up
from the second day onwards, bringing
us a large number of valuable contacts
and in-depth discussions with
customers, prospects and partners,"

Together with its UK distribution partners Orba Group and
Banner Equipment, SBM presented its hybrid electrified mobile
crushers both in the live demonstration area and at the stand.
"In terms of model selection, preparation and customer
approach, our show concept worked perfectly – our partners
did a truly excellent job,", says Dieplinger. "A particular
highlight was the commented live demonstration of our
REMAX 450 impact crusher at the quarry face. It gave us an
excellent platform to showcase the full benefits of our plant
design, including the highly economical diesel-electric drive
concept. Just a few metres away at the stand, visitors were
then able to explore these advantages in greater depth, where

crusher centre stage at its Hillhead stand.
the REMAX 400 with fully
electric plug-in option and our
450 tph JAWMAX 450 jaw
crusher, a highly mobile 40-
tonne 'workhorse', also proved
to be real crowd-pullers."
SBM also gained further traction
in terms of market reach at
Hillhead. "Alongside existing
customers from Banner's
northern territory and Orba's southern English regions, we
welcomed many experts this year from nationwide material
producers and recycling service providers", adds Dieplinger. As
important as direct fuel savings, easier maintenance and HSE
aspects are for local and regional operators, the broader
benefits of SBM's hybrid technology are becoming increasingly
relevant, particularly for larger fleets. "With hundreds of
successful installations worldwide, our diesel-electric REMAX
