Digital innovations and sustainable solutions
Digitalization is a key to advancing our product offering for safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible operations. During the year, we expanded our digital offering with advanced automation and condition monitoring systems, such as ACS-c 5 and ACS-s. These technologies, built into our equipment, enable smarter energy management, reduce emissions and cost, and boost productivity.
During the year, we also launched a new jaw plate range, featuring Coarse Corrugated and Heavy Duty plates. The range sets a new benchmark in crushing efficiency, delivering greater throughput, less frequent replacements, reduced material waste, and lower energy consumption.
We continued to improve our own, and customers’ resource efficiency, by improving our recycling rate where worn-out steel parts are collected, recycled, and reintroduced into the melting process to form new genuine parts. We use more than 90 percent recycled steel in the production at our foundry in Svedala (Sweden). We also made progress in our refurbishment program, established in 2011, where mining equipment is restored to as-new condition. In 2025 we reused about 1,100 tons of metal, avoiding about 2,400 tons of CO2 emissions.
These achievements prove that eco-efficiency is not just good for the planet; it’s a business advantage, driving lower emissions, higher productivity, and long-term value.
Innovations creating customer value
Industry-leading innovation is at the core of Sandvik and the key growth driver. Rock Processing introduced Basic Premium for mobile crushing and screening, offering Sandvik quality in a simplified form to the construction industry. Targeted specifically to the needs of the demolition and recycling segment, this offering is simple to operate, yet still built to the same high standard and quality as the premium products for reliable performance and high productivity.
An upgraded range of jaw crushers delivers improved reliability, throughput, and ease of maintenance, helping customers achieve better productivity and lower total cost of ownership.
QH443E is an electric cone crusher designed with a focus on sustainability and productivity and is set to revolutionize operations in heavy duty applications. It takes 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. Due to the electrification of the onboard components, running the QH443E can result in up to 25 percent fuel savings and a 78 percent reduction in hydraulic oil usage compared to previous generations.
A new jaw plate range that sets a new benchmark in crushing solutions was launched during the year. It offers up to 40 percent longer wear life, up to 30 percent lower running costs, and optimized chamber geometry for greater crushing efficiency and throughput.
Remote Monitoring Services (RMS) is a predictive maintenance service Sandvik provides that remotely monitors and analyzes data from crushing and screening equipment. RMS can effectively identify abnormalities, determine root causes, and provide actionable information to eliminate defects.
