Keestrack

Keestrack designs and manufactures mobile crushing and screening equipment for quarrying, mining, aggregates, sand and gravel, recycling and construction waste processing. The company began in 1988 as a trading company and in 1996 Kees Hoogendoorn designed and built the first direct feed screen, the K6, which became an industry standard. In 1999 Keestrack introduced a load-sensing diesel/hydraulic drive system delivering approximately 25% fuel savings compared to conventional drives. The company established a production facility in the Czech Republic in 2001 and expanded with subsidiaries in China in 2007, the United States in 2016, India in 2017 and Turkey in 2023.

Product lines include jaw crushers (B3, B4, B5), impact crushers (R2, R3, R5, R6), a reversible impact crusher (I4e), cone crushers (H4e, H6e, H6Se, H7 zero), scalper screens (K3, K4, K5, K6), classifiers (C4, C6), stackers (S3, S5), apron feeders (A6e) and shredders (P3). All equipment is available with conventional load-sensing diesel/hydraulic drive, hybrid e-drive with onboard diesel-generator backup, or ZERO-drive full electric plug-in systems introduced in 2021. The C6 classifier was the first hybrid plug-in electric machine introduced in 2012. The R3 impact crusher won the Red Dot Design Award, German Design Prize and Big See Award. The I4e reversible impact crusher was introduced in 2022.

Keestrack equipment features hydraulic gap adjustment technology on jaw crushers, remote operation via remote control, setup times typically within 30 minutes without support legs, compact transport dimensions, ability to track while producing, and smart sequential auto start/stop functions. Machines incorporate load-sensing hydraulic systems with hydraulic lines positioned for easy access and self-cooling properties, and can be controlled remotely. The Keestrack-er telematics system provides 24/7 GSM/Satellite-based real-time location tracking, GPS geofencing, reporting, remote software updates and maintenance planning via CAN-BUS network integration.

Services include spare parts supply, wear parts, servicing, maintenance and technical training delivered through a global dealer network supported by dedicated technical support teams. Genuine Keestrack parts are manufactured to factory standards with proven quality, durability and warranty. Technical support and training programs are offered at least twice yearly for dealers at multiple levels. A field service technician role in Texas covers installation commissioning, equipment testing, operator training, on-site and remote mechanical, electrical, electronic and hydraulic troubleshooting, complex repairs and software upgrades.

Fuel efficiency options include diesel/hydraulic machines with load-sensing systems saving approximately 25% fuel, hybrid e-drive equipment that runs on electrical grid or onboard diesel-generator, and ZERO-drive full electric equipment powered by renewable energy or any generator. Fuel consumption figures for the C6 classifier include diesel/hydraulic at 14 litres per hour, electric via onboard genset at 9 litres per hour (33% savings), plugged into crusher at 4 litres additional, and electric via mains at 27 kWh (approximately 60% savings). The R3 impact crusher achieves 28 litres per hour diesel/hydraulic, 22 litres per hour diesel/electric, and 120 kWh electric mains. The R5 achieves 40 litres per hour diesel/hydraulic and 35 litres per hour diesel/electric, and 180 kWh electric mains. The R6 achieves 58 litres per hour diesel/hydraulic, 45 litres per hour diesel/electric and 250 kWh electric mains. The I4e achieves 30 litres per hour diesel/electric and 120 kWh electric mains. The C6 classifier achieves 14 litres per hour diesel/hydraulic and 36 kWh electric mains.

Tracked engine/generator units (M-series) can supply electricity to multiple crushers, screeners and stackers with standard 450 litre tanks and optional 2,000 litre tanks for extended autonomy. Electric crushers and screens are interconnective for higher efficiency gains.
