What efforts have been made to make your product more versatile and value for money for the customers?

We at Kleemann work on three major principles 1. Material flow movement, 2. Ease of operation, 3. Connected machines. If you look at the material flow movement in Kleemann machines both scalper and classifiers have wider input and output conveyors, this enables free flow of material thereby increase the productivity and quality of the output product. All Kleemann machines are electronically operated by wire mounted remote, with automated settings it can be put into operation by just a press of a button. Invariably all the Kleemann machines are equipped with Wirtgen group telematics and On-site solution (WITOS) which helps customers in targeted monitoring of the machines in their day to day operation to supporting maintenance and diagnostics processes.

The innovative digital operating concept SPECTIVE from Kleemann has optimised the control options of crushing plants in a trendsetting manner. With the SPECTIVE CONNECT extension, Kleemann goes one step further. All relevant process information and reporting are now displayed on your smartphone without having to leave the feeding device. SPECTIVE CONNECT is a digital solution (mobile App) that supports the operator on the work site on a typical workday. SPECTIVE CONNECT receives data from the plant per WLAN. It provides more safety for the operator, higher plant availability, higher utilisation and thus higher cost-effectiveness.

All the above points gives our customer more versatile product with the value for money they have invested.
