Bulky Waste : Eggersmann launches mobile impact crusher for construction waste processing

At the Recycling AKTIV & Tiefbau LIVE trade fair in Karlsruhe from 9 to 11 October 2025, Eggersmann is showcasing the new ROKTEC IC 1000, its first mobile impact crusher designed specifically for mineral processing. This launch represents a significant expansion of the company's recycling portfolio.

"Eggersmann is known as a full-service provider in recycling  which is why we are regularly asked for a professional solution for the mobile processing of demolition material," says Pascal Petermann, Managing Director of Eggersmann Impaktor GmbH, explaining the addition to the portfolio. "With the new Eggersmann ROKTEC IC 1000, we can now also meet the demand for high-quality substitute building material production. This is because our new impact crusher produces cubic end products from concrete, asphalt or bricks. These can be excellently compacted, for example, and are therefore perfect for immediate use in road substructures or agricultural road construction."

The impact crusher's extensive standard equipment is specifically designed for treating mineral construction waste. An overband magnet separates ferrous metals like concrete reinforcements, which can be processed in the crushing chamber up to a diameter of 17 mm. With its large infeed, the ROKTEC IC 1000 can handle material sizes of up to 800 mm.

"With its large infeed, the ROKTEC IC 1000 can handle material sizes of up to 800 mm," Petermann continues. Both the distance and the angle of the impact plates to the crushing rotor can be adjusted at any time to precisely define the end product. Therefore, grain sizes from 0 to 80 mm are possible.

To ensure consistent quality, the material size is precisely classified by an integrated screening system after the crushing process and oversize particles are removed. This oversize grain is then fed back into the feed hopper via a return belt, creating a closed crushing circuit. This ensures a particularly homogeneous end product. Alternatively, the return belt can be folded out and used to stockpile a further fraction.

Finer materials - such as sand, gravel or soil - are already screened before the crushing chamber and discharged via a pre-screen discharge belt. "Sand in particular has an abrasive effect in the crushing chamber and thus causes greater wear. It is therefore important to us that it is removed before the crushing process," explains Petermann.

To secure the crushing chamber, the ROKTEC IC 1000 also has an adjustable protective flap that keeps oversized material out of the chamber. Petermann summarises: "Overall, the machine is designed to minimise wear and maximise availability. This is also the reason why the material does not simply fall from the crushing chamber onto the discharge conveyor, but first lands on a robust discharge chute. This chute then gently transfers it to the discharge belt, preventing the belt from being damaged unnecessarily."

In April of this year, Eggersmann made its first foray into the building materials recycling sector at the BAUMA trade fair in Munich with the launch of the C 14 primary shredder, the Eggersmann IMPAKTOR 250 crusher and the BLUE SELECT 15.44 trommel screen. The new Eggersmann C 14 primary shredder offers the possibility of volume-optimisation before the first transport, making it ideal not only for waste treatment at collection points and recycling centres, but also on construction sites. The Eggersmann IMPAKTOR 250 can be used both as a crusher for minerals and as a shredder for waste due to the option of changing the shafts.

To create a mobile recycling system, the Eggersmann BLUE SELECT 15.44 was introduced as a direct addition to the Eggersmann IMPAKTOR 250. With the new ROKTEC IC 1000 impact crusher, Eggersmann is now adding a mobile machine exclusively for the processing of minerals to its range for the first time. This is a logical continuation of the path taken at the beginning of the year.

Eggersmann Impaktor GmbH sells not only low-cost entry-level solutions for mobile recycling but also professional solutions for mobile mineral processing and the production of substitute building materials. The company works together with the Eggersmann Gruppe GmbH & Co. KG, offering a wide portfolio of recycling solutions under the internationally reputed name of Eggersmann Recycling Technology. The spectrum ranges from plant engineering with mechanical and biological waste treatment to process technology and stationary as well as mobile machines.
