Powerscreen, founded in 1966 under the name Ulster Plant in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, manufactured its first mobile screening machine in the late 1960s. In 1969, Powerscreen exported their first machine to Sweden, which cost €2.5k. By the 1970s, the Powerscreen name was born.
The company is actually a leading manufacturer of mobile crushing, screening, and conveying equipment for the mining industry.
Powerscreen pioneered the concept of mobile screening, allowing machines to be taken directly to the quarry face rather than transporting material to stationary equipment. This improves efficiency and reduces costs.
It offers a comprehensive range of jaw, impact, and cone crushers designed for primary, secondary, and tertiary crushing applications in mining. Their equipment is known for high productivity and reliability in tough environments.
Powerscreen also manufactures a wide variety of mobile screening equipment, including the Chieftain, Warrior, and H-range screens, which are suited for processing aggregates, sand, coal, iron ore, and other materials.
In addition to crushers and screens, Powerscreen provides mobile conveyors and feeders to integrate with their equipment and optimize material handling on mining sites.
Powerscreen continues to innovate, integrating new technologies into their products to improve efficiency and reduce environmental impact, such as their focus on decarbonizing crushing and screening operations.
