Sandvik rock processing technology’s 100-year history of development
When it comes to Sandvik Rock Processing Technology in the crushing and screening industry, no one is unaware of it. As the world’s leading supplier of rock processing equipment, services and technical solutions, the history of Sandvik rock processing technology dates back to the 19th century.
As early as 1882, in the town of Svedala, located in Sweden, Sandvik’s first jaw crusher was officially born. However, at that time, this crusher still belonged to the Svedala Industrial Group. In 2001, Sandvik acquired the crushing and screening core business of the Svedala Industrial Group, and combined with its own strengths, the crushing and screening business has been further strengthened and enlarged, and has grown to become an industry leader.
With the accelerated development of the business, on January 1, 2021, Sandvik Crushing & Screening was separated from Sandvik Mining & Rock Technology, and Sandvik Rock Processing Technology was formally established as one of Sandvik’s three core business areas. Sandvik Rock Processing Technology has a complete manufacturing, purchasing and after-sales system, with business units such as stationary crushing and screening, mobile crushing and screening, and crushing hammers.
In 2022, Sandvik acquired the Schenck Group’s mining-related business (Schenck Mineral Processing). Schenck Mineral Processing is one of the market leaders in the field of screening systems, feeding systems and screen solutions. With its addition, Sandvik Rock Processing Technology has added another strong player to its portfolio.
Sandvik rock processing technology fuels China’s modernization efforts
The relationship between Sandvik Rock Processing Technology and China began at a very early stage. As early as the early 1970s, Sandvik’s crushing and screening equipment entered the Chinese market, providing services for some large state-owned mines.
When Sandvik came to China in 1985, the crushing and screening business formally entered the Chinese market, and quickly penetrated the high-end market of the domestic crushing and screening industry, and established long-term cooperative relationships with many customers in China’s mining, engineering and other industries.
