Fuel efficiency
Reduce fuel costs and CO2 emissions
We know our customers need exceptional power and performance, but they also want to lower their fuel costs and reduce their environmental footprint.
Striving to meet these demands Keestrack are at the forefront of deploying fuel saving technologies such as load-sensing hydraulics and hybrid diesel / electric and plug-in electric drive options – great ways to reduce fuel consumption with no loss of performance.
Conventional Diesel/hydraulic with load sensing hydraulics
Our conventional diesel/hydraulic machines run on the most modern low-emission diesel engines with load-sensing hydraulic modules. A conventional diesel/hydraulic drive is available on all our machines except for the Cone crushers which are always in e-drive. The Keestrack diesel/hydraulic machines offer a potential fuel saving of approximately 25% over conventional drives without load-sensing technology.
E-drive
The most versatile is the hybrid e-drive equipment, it can either be plugged-in to the electric grid and run full electric, or it can run on the on-board diesel-generator set.
ZERO-drive
The most ecologic drive system is the full electric plug-in machinery without on-board combustion engines, the ZERO-range, especially when it is powered by renewable energy.
All ZERO and e-driven equipment is interconnective, which gives even higher efficiency gains. Several machines can alos be powered by one engine-generator set or can be powered by a single tracked engine/generator set unit (M-series).
Keestrack gives you the highest flexibility !
Whatever drive system you are choosing, Keestrack always delivers best in class.
Keestrack have been pioneering the use of load-sensing hydraulic systems for many years. The hydraulics monitor feed load and automatically adjust to the requirements of the load. As a result, 4-6 liters of fuel can be saved per hour, and when applied to typical operation of 1,500 hours, this equates to a saving of up to 7,500 litres.
The load-sensing systems provide cost savings of approx. 30% compared to crushers and screeners, offered by other manufacturers, who do not apply this technology.
Keestrack introduced the first hybrid plug-in electric classifier C6 in 2012 and has been continuing this path ever since,as we believe this is not just an added value for the environment but it is also a significant improvement on the cost efficiency of our machines.
Keestrack delivers several optional drive systems with electric plug in and plug out options. The performance and end results are identical to the standard diesel/hydraulic driven machines but energy costs, maintenance costs and cost of ownership are significantly lower. And our electric options provide even greater scope for savings of energy and CO² emissions.
Fuel & Energy consumption for C6 Classifier

Diesel/hydraulic
Diesel/hydraulic model with standard load-sensing hydraulic system consumes approximately 14 litres an hour.

Electric drive via onboard Genset
Electric drive via onboard Genset powered by a C6 diesel engine consumes approximately 9 liters an hour.
This results in fuel savings of approximately 33% when compared to a C6 with diesel/hydraulic drive.
And when compared with other classifierson the market (who do not use load sensing hydraulic systems) fuel savings can even rise to over 50%.

Plugged into crusher
Connected to a crusher results in a fuel consumption of 4 litres more of the crusher total consumption.

Electric drive via electrical mains
Connected directly to the mains supply energy savings can be approximately 60% when compared to a diesel/hydraulic model.
And when compared with other classifiers on the market (who do not use load sensing hydraulic systems) fuel savings can even rise to nearly 70%.
Other benefits
Remote monitoring
With large fleets and multiple sites in operation it is essential that owners know the location and status of their machines in real time, 24 hours a day.
Drive systems
In 1999 Keestrack introduced a load sensing diesel/hydraulic drive system which resulted in 25% fuel savings compared to competition.
Cost savings
Purchase price is only part of the total cost of ownership. Over the lifetime of your investment, operating costs can add up and ultimately reduce your competitiveness.
Mobile technology
At Keestrack we understand how important mobility is to owners and operators, and this is reflected in the design and construction of our machines. Our aim is to minimize set up times, reduce overall weight and size, and get you up and running as soon as possible.
