For the past 25 years, Haga has been a specialist in heavy demolition, decontamination, and recycling whose rock-solid reputation has been steadily growing. Located in the southern part of Sweden, approximately 160km southwest of capital Stockholm, Haga has its offices in Norrköping and Linköping. Seventy hardworking employees keep the company on the right track, which means – moving forward efficiently. Regardless of the size of the project, each one receives proper care and attention with a high level of professionalism.
Besides heavy demolition, Haga also does contract crushing of asphalt and concrete and recycling in their newly opened recycling centre in Norsholm, just outside of Norrköping. The owner, John Torsell, saw a Rockster R1000S impactor on-site in Austria and was immediately convinced that the crusher is the right one for a diverse range of projects.
Rockster's Swedish sales partner, Niklas Johansson of Biocare Svenska, has introduced Rockster mobile crushers to Haga with a lot of success. The company has been in the crushing business since 2008 and has acquired valuable knowledge of what works and what doesn't when it comes to mobile crushers. Both Haga and Biocare Svenska have a long history of working together. "There is a developed trust between Haga and us. They know that they can rely on our top-quality service and support and our expertise on how to process materials. One of the reasons why they chose Rockster R1000S is because of our ability to provide a fast and efficient supply of spare and wear parts," says Johannson. "Major benefit with Rockster R1000S is that it does not require any transport permits, and because of its compact size under 35 tonnes, it is extremely mobile," he adds.
Östergötland is where Haga does the majority of its business. However, it is active throughout the country, and keeping the ecological footprint to a minimum is of utmost importance. R1000S with the latest CAT Stage V engine is the optimal addition to their machine fleet but, more importantly, to its philosophy. The Rockster crusher is equipped with a C9.3B latest emission technology engine from Caterpillar, and the crusher is powered through a hydrostatic drive. In comparison to diesel-electric, this type of drive ensures a constant crushing performance and reduced diesel consumption.
Johannson explains: "With Rockster's hydrostatic crusher drive, the diesel engine always stays in the optimal RPM range. The hydraulic pump only adapts to the crusher's power requirements, which means lower fuel consumption per tonne of crushed final material." In addition, the crusher is equipped with an RVB1700 Air Blower that blows away light non-aggregates such as plastic, textile, polystyrene, and wood parts, which results in a higher quality valuable final product.
The R1000S at Haga is mainly used at demolition sites to recycle construction waste, either reused on-site or sold for other projects. Construction waste often involves large amounts of reinforced concrete. Part of the standard equipment on R1000S is a vertically adjustable magnetic separator, which efficiently removes steel from the crushed concrete that results in a cleaner and more valuable final product. The construction waste is crushed down to 0-80mm or 0-100mm. "The Rockster with its independent screening system, vibrating feeder located under the crusher outlet, oversize hanging screen and efficiently constructed engine openings for easy service access simply ticks all the boxes on our customer's crusher wish-list", says Johannson.
