Powerscreen will celebrate 60 years of manufacturing mobile crushing, screening, and conveying equipment at Hillhead 2026, a milestone marking six decades of innovation in the aggregate processing industry. The company's long-standing UK distributor Blue Group will also be exhibiting alongside Powerscreen.
The new stand at Hillhead 2026 will feature a fully refurbished MK1 screening unit, the original machine that launched Powerscreen's story and helped establish the concept of mobile screening. Visitors can explore the history of MK1 through historical material and video content.
A Hall of Fame induction will take place during the show, recognising individuals who have played a significant role in Powerscreen's development over the past six decades. This celebration highlights the company's commitment to its heritage while also showcasing its modern machines.
Powerscreen will display a range of current machines on stand H6, including the Chieftain 2200 triple deck screen, which features a patented configurable drive system and dual screenbox design for efficient operation across various applications.
The Chieftain 2200 is designed for high-output applications requiring consistent, high-specification material. Its innovative design has enabled Powerscreen to establish itself as a leader in mobile screening technology.
Visitors will also be able to view an early prototype of the next stage in Powerscreen's product development, including a version of the 1000X Maxtrak cone crusher.
Beyond equipment display, the stand will highlight Powerscreen and Blue Group's broader support and solutions for customers. TRAC is a multi-sensor solution to improve screening equipment performance and durability, while INNEX offers digital tools and AI-driven capabilities.
Powerscreen's 60-year milestone underscores its dedication to innovation and customer satisfaction. The company's continued commitment to developing cutting-edge technology will be crucial in shaping the future of mobile screening and aggregate processing.
The Powerscreen name has become closely associated with mobile screening globally, with model names such as Chieftain now widely recognised across the industry.
