Fully electric: customer crushes gravel with RM crusher using power from the grid

RM customer Welbers in Germany, crushes up to 110 tonnes of gravel per hour with their RM 100GO! hybrid, fully electric, connected to the grid.
The results speak for themselves because fully electric drive reduces energy costs by around 50%, the total operating costs by 11% per year, and it also protects the environment. The family-owned business also benefits from maximum flexibility. Thanks to the hybrid crusher, they can crush other materials, such as C&D waste, in addition to fully electric gravel processing.
If you don't use hybrid drives for your crushing & screening equipment you are leaving money on the jobsite.
Without an efficient drive...
- Your fuel bill eats away your profits
- Your maintnance costs increase exponentially over time
- You are losing engine power to non-essential drives
- You are missing out on jobs or subsidies that you could get
Welbers in Germany have been operating a sand and gravel plant for generations. In July 2023, they purchased their first crusher, an RM 100GO! hybrid, to process gravel to the highest quality 0-16 fraction final aggregate. The reason is that the cone crushers they used to hire cannot achieve the quality of results achieved by impact crushers.
“With the new RM 100GO! hybrid, we get a much better geometry of aggregate compared to the cone crushers we used before. Material quality is very important to our customers.”
Jonathan Schaffers, Managing Director of Welbers Kieswerke GmbH
Benefits of Hybrid Drives
With many drivetrain solutions out there it is hard to figure out which one is best. Hybrid drives are on the rise and provide more performance paired with a lower fuel costs. You deserve a drive-train that works and maintains its value over time.
Fully electric crushing: easy and uncomplicated
“We are very satisfied with the crusher because it really delivers the performance it promises in electric mode and does an excellent job of processing gravel,”
Protect the environment and save on fuel costs
The aim of leaving land in better condition from an ecologically standpoint than it was before excavation started, has always been the philosophy of the Welbers’ family business.
Maximum flexibility & mobility
Because the crusher is mounted on a chassis with crawler gear, they can move from processing gravel in electric mode to crushing a 0-45 mm fraction C&D waste directly on site in diesel mode.
