Kleemann arrives at IFAT Munich 2026 with a clear focus on sustainable asphalt processing and advancing circularity in road construction. The event, running May 4–7, 2026, will mark the company’s first appearance at IFAT as a participant alongside VDMA Services GmbH in the Crushing Zone. Kleemann will showcase how its mobile crushing and screening plants can convert reclaimed asphalt into high-quality aggregates that meet the standard requirements for reuse in bituminous mixtures. The presentation underscores the trade show’s emphasis on forward-looking solutions for water management, recycling, and circularity, aligning Kleemann’s products with broader industry goals of resource efficiency and waste reduction.
Live plant train demonstration
A centerpiece of the booth will be a live demonstration of Kleemann’s plant train in the Crushing Zone. Attendees can observe the integrated system processing recycled asphalt in real time, illustrating the flow from milling and separation to final screening and product creation. The demonstration aims to show how modern mobile equipment can deliver consistent product quality while minimizing material losses and handling steps.
Core equipment on display
The showcased set brings together three key units that work in concert to produce reusable aggregates:
- MOBISCREEN MSS 502 EVO scalper for initial separation
- MOBIREX MR 100 NEO impact crusher for primary reduction
- MBT 20 mobile belt conveyor to shuttle material between stages
Together, these units can maintain steady fractions and support high-quality outputs suitable for asphalt production.
The recycling loop in practice
The displayed system illustrates a closed-loop approach to asphalt roadwork. It begins with selective milling of the surface course, binder course, and base course using Wirtgen milling machines. By isolating asphalt layers during milling, the process improves the quality of reclaimed material. After screening and crushing, the resulting aggregates are reused in asphalt mixing plants. The cycle is completed by installation and compaction work from partner brands Vögele and Hamm, providing a complete workflow from removal to application.
Implications for the industry
Industry observers will note how integrating a plant train with a controlled recycling loop supports more sustainable road construction. By delivering consistent, high-quality recycled materials and reducing the need for virgin aggregates, the approach aligns with ongoing efforts to increase circularity and resource efficiency in asphalt production.
