Debut SBM Expert Days is a 2017 hit

Around 700 guests, including clients, distributors and affiliated company representatives from all over the world, came to see the first SBM Expert Days in Liezen, Austria. An impressive 51 exhibits demonstrated the wide scale of the minerals processing equipment company’s product portfolio. A 16,000m² exhibition area also offered compact information on concrete mixing and mineral processing technology, live demos, and several pioneering technological novelties.

Almost all 7373 SBM Mineral Processing Systems’ (SBM) solutions for processing raw mineral and recycling materials have recently been newly developed or redesigned,  and all visitors could experience this up close in Liezen. One of these is the REMAX 300, an entry-class model with diesel-electric drive. An 1100-crusher and discharge chute below it offers a capacity of up to 300tonnes/hour at a total weight of 30tonnes without secondary screen. SBM’s new middle-class model, the REMAX 400, is said to be convincing clients thanks to its new crushing drive and transport characteristics, including Dolly system.

SBM’s two mobile concrete mixing plants, VARIOMIX and MINIMIX, with their towers rising about 22m high were already visible from afar, but they were not the only optical highlight during SBM Expert Days 2017. Attendees could inspect the plants both inside and outside, thus assuring themselves of the compact build and the practical operation of the individual systems. The two plants have similar qualities, with their modular designs and small setting up areas making them ideal in very confined building sites. Meanwhile, 1600 and 3300 EUROMIX plants were also on show.

After the SBM Expert Days 2017 product demonstrations and presentations, it was time for an evening of entertainment. Daredevil freestyle motocross riders captivated the exhibition arena audience, flying through the air to the sound of AC/DC. Pyrotechnics and the dramatic drumming also helped make the event an unforgettable experience.

Of the debut SBM Expert Days event on 14-15 September, SBM managing director Erwin Schneller said: “Our product portfolio and the new plants exhibited made SBM EXPERT DAYS a unique big-impact show. We plan to host this event every three years from now on.”
