Sandvik Unveils QH443E Electric Cone Crusher Ahead of CONEXPO 2027

Industry Milestone: Sandvik Completes Electric Tracked Crushing and Screening Train

Sandvik Mobile Crushing and Screening has officially launched the QH443E, its latest innovation in tracked cone crushers and the flagship of the Q-Range electric-driven cone plant line. The new electric unit, designed with a focus on sustainability and productivity, represents a significant step towards bridging the gap between tracked mobile, wheeled portable, and stationary plants by combining electric drives and track mobility on a single platform. The QH443E completes Sandvik’s revolutionary electric train, which includes the UJ443E fully electric jaw crusher (launched in 2023) and the QA452e hybrid triple-deck Doublescreen (launched in 2022). This milestone positions Sandvik at the forefront of the industry’s accelerating transition from diesel-hydraulic to electric drive systems—a shift that is reshaping mobile crushing and screening operations worldwide. While such advanced electric solutions represent significant engineering achievements, OCP Mechanical Company recognises that not every operation requires the scale or investment associated with these premium-brand systems. With over 40 years of experience, we offer practical, cost-effective crushing solutions tailored to medium-capacity operations, backed by factory-direct pricing and round-the-clock technical support.

QH443E: Sustainability and Productivity in One Electric Package

The QH443E features an updated tracked platform with a diesel/electric generator-based drivetrain, the Optik™ intuitive automation system, My Fleet remote monitoring, and the renowned Sandvik CH440 Hydrocone crusher. This advanced cone crusher is known for its versatility and ease of setting adjustment through the Hydroset CSS regulation and protection system, which optimises production and tracks liner wear through Constant Liner Performance (CLP) technology. With a choice of several chambers, throws and settings for a wide range of applications, the QH443E enables operators to fine-tune specifications and improve capacity. The machine is equipped with electrically driven components and can be operated either by connection to an external electrical grid supply or via the onboard generator using HVO or diesel. Running the QH443E via the genset can result in up to 25% fuel savings and a 78% reduction in hydraulic oil usage compared to previous generations. When connected to an external supply, operators benefit from significantly lower running costs, extended drivetrain service intervals, reduced refuelling time, minimal onsite emissions, and lower noise levels. The robust design, featuring a unibody mainframe and premium components, ensures durability and strength for the most demanding quarry and mining applications.

The Electric Train: A Fully Integrated System for Sustainable Operations

The QH443E is the final piece of Sandvik’s fully integrated electric tracked crushing and screening train. Together with the UJ443E fully electric jaw crusher and the QA452e Doublescreen, the QH443E forms a high-performance electric-drive system optimised for a central power source such as a grid connection or single genset. This integrated approach allows operators to run an entire processing train from a single power source, simplifying servicing and maintenance while improving overall fuel consumption. The UJ443E features the latest generation Sandvik CJ412 jaw crusher and offers up to 25% reduction in fuel consumption and up to 30% increase in throughput compared to previous models, with fully electric track drives reducing hydraulic oil usage by up to 91%. The QA452e Doublescreen technology typically outperforms traditional screens by up to 30%, offering tailored rock processing solutions for mining, quarry and recycling industries. For quarry operators and aggregate producers, this fully electric train concept signals the direction of the industry—but the right equipment for your operation depends on your specific production goals, budget, and site conditions. OCP Mechanical Company offers a compelling alternative: high-quality, factory-direct crushing and screening solutions backed by decades of experience and a global service network spanning more than 180 countries.

Market Context: The Accelerating Shift to Electric Drive in Mobile Crushing

Sandvik’s launch of the QH443E reflects a broader industry trend toward electrification and sustainability in mobile crushing equipment. Major OEMs are accelerating their transition from diesel-hydraulic to diesel-electric and fully electric drive systems, driven by regulatory pressures, rising fuel costs, and growing demand from quarry operators for lower-emission, more cost-effective solutions. Running electric mobile crushers via an external grid connection or onboard genset offers compelling advantages: significantly lower running costs, extended drivetrain service intervals, reduced refuelling time, minimal onsite emissions, and lower noise levels—benefits that are particularly valuable in urban or environmentally sensitive locations. The QH443E’s ability to operate on HVO further enhances its sustainability credentials, allowing operators to reduce their carbon footprint without compromising performance. For quarry operators and aggregate producers, these innovations signal the direction of the industry—but the right equipment for your operation depends on your specific production goals, budget, and site conditions. OCP Mechanical Company offers a practical alternative: high-quality, factory-direct crushing and screening solutions engineered for durability, energy efficiency, and low total cost of ownership.
