PowerX Equipment: Showcasing Innovation at Hillhead 2026
PowerX Equipment will be exhibiting at Hillhead 2026, the UK’s leading quarrying, mining and recycling exhibition. The company will highlight its innovative aggregate and mineral processing solutions to visitors from across the industry.
With a strong focus on maximising tonnage rates, reducing costs and enhanced sustainability, the West Midlands based company will be showcasing the range of integrated washing plant installations and high-performance mobile crushing and screening equipment.
As the industry looks for better fuel and energy efficiency as well as environmental performance, PowerX supply some of the cleanest performing equipment on the market including all-electric, hybrid and low emission diesel powered solutions.
By combining practical, extensive industry knowledge with world class equipment from manufacturers including Powerscreen, Terex, MS and AKW Equipment & Process Design, they have succeeded in delivering improved profitability and high-quality products for aggregate companies across the UK.
Hillhead 2026 promises to be an even busier show for PowerX Equipment and their continued presence at the 3-day event reflects both the company’s ambition and its growing confidence within the competitive marketplace.
To reinforce their identity as a trusted industry partner, the company has doubled its stand space, maximising the opportunity to demonstrate how they are changing the landscape of the aggregates industry.
PowerX Equipment’s business in Africa will also be represented on their stand at the event this year. The African mining, quarrying and infrastructure industries continue to develop at pace and with visitors from the sub-continent at the show, it’s the perfect opportunity for building new and strengthening current relationships.
Mobile Crushing & Screening Equipment Hire Solutions
As the official hire dealer for Powerscreen® mobile crushing and screening equipment in England and Wales, PowerX provides cost-effective aggregate processing equipment for quarrying, mining and infrastructure projects.
Innovative hire solutions deliver greater flexibility and better control over equipment supply, particularly when their clients are looking to increase on-site capacity. By offering a range of economical options, PowerX helps some of the largest aggregate companies to meet flexible production targets more efficiently without the need for major capital investment.
The short and long-term hire contracts include additional benefits over buying the equipment outright. Hiring instead of purchasing reduces the need for costly finance agreements.
In addition, servicing, repairs and breakdown cover is standard and backed up by rapid call-out services to improve uptime.
Fully Integrated Washing Plant Installations
Utilising the wealth of experience across the organisation, the PowerX team specialise in designing and installing high performance washing plant systems that efficiently transform raw and recycled materials into valuable aggregates that can be used across a spectrum of construction and infrastructure applications.
With growing demand for better environmental performance, including a drive towards supporting a Circular Economy, quarrying, mining and recycling companies are seeking out optimised solutions that deliver on all fronts.
Sharing centre stage on the stand will be a 10-metre long PowerX Scrubmaster 300 Log Washer that will efficiently scrub and remove clay, silt and lightweight materials from aggregates, hardcore and construction and demolition waste. The result is a cleaner product that meets industry specifications.
The range of Log Washers available are built to last with durable heavy-duty components that can handle the toughest applications. The counter-rotating shafts feature hardened paddles to maximise the scrubbing process.
The robust body structure and wear resistant parts ensure outstanding throughput performance and long service life; regardless of the type and volume of material that is being washed.
Water Recycling and Treatment Solutions
To further showcase the company’s sustainability and natural resource management, PowerX Equipment have built a long-standing partnership with water management and treatment specialist company, MS and will have a high-performance Filter Press unit at this year’s show.
When installed as part of a closed loop water treatment system that feeds into a washing plant, the efficient MS Filter Press can recycle around 95% of the water consumed during aggregate washing. The result is a significant reduction in water loss and a diminished reliance on freshwater supplies.
At the same time, the latest ranges of MS Filter Presses not only optimise the management of silt, but they also work to minimise wear through intuitive operation of the membrane technology. MS utilise high water pressure to produce the final squeeze, efficiently maximising the recovery of water whilst reducing the wear on pumps and filter cloths.
Sands & Fine Materials Classification
At a time when sand is in high demand for use on construction projects, PowerX Equipment is supporting the industry as it looks for safe and sustainable processes that helps to recover and re-use more materials rather than relying on raw materials.
The company has formed a strong partnership with AKW Equipment & Process Design as both organisations reflects a shared commitment to advancing sustainable aggregate processing solutions that support the circular economy and to reduce the dependency on virgin raw materials.
AKW Equipment & Process Design´s AKA-VORTEX Hydrocyclones and AKA-SIZER Upstream Classifiers use high velocity water flow to separate lightweight organic materials such as lignite, coal and other materials from heavier weight sands; allowing more efficient recovery of consistently higher quality aggregates.
Contract Aggregate Processing
With over 40 years of experience in contract aggregate processing, PowerX are at the forefront of providing effective mineral processing services to main contractors and construction companies across the UK.
By supplying world class equipment and professional, experienced site teams, the organisation has worked on some of the biggest infrastructure projects, major highways and rail developments including the HS2, Aberdeen Bypass and M6 Toll.
The company has processed over 140 million tonnes of materials, delivering high performance crushing and screening services that transforms excavated and blasted material into high-value resources for use on construction projects.
Taking Centre Stage at Hillhead: Driving Performance & Profitability.
Applying experience, knowledge and technology, the company is solving some of the industry’s toughest obstacles, a feat that sets them apart from their competitors.
Hillhead 2026 provides the perfect backdrop for PowerX Equipment to demonstrate to new and existing clients how they deliver effective services and products to improve processing performance and a pathway to greater profitability.
