Rockster Visits MP for Rock Crusher Solutions
Rock crusher technology brought Thomas, General Manager of Rockster (a subsidiary of the German RBG Group), to MP (MP Mining Equipment Corp., Ltd) in Quzhou, Zhejiang Province, China, on May 14, 2026. Rockster, a well-known European manufacturer of mobile crushing and screening equipment, seeks a deep collaboration with MP in this field.
The visit began with formal introductions from both parties.Thomas presented an overview of the RBG Group and Rockster. RBG is a major German industrial conglomerate with a strong market presence, operating across multiple sectors including environmental technology, mechanical engineering, and recycling equipment. Rockster, as one of its key brands, specializes in mobile crushing and screening equipment, including mobile jaw crushers, impact crushers, and screening plants. Its products have historically been manufactured in Austria and Romania and enjoy a solid reputation in the European market.Yang Bo (General Manager of MP) then provided a comprehensive introduction to MP (MP Mining Equipment Corp., Ltd)'s development history, technical capabilities, production scale, and certifications.

MP's Global Certifications for Rock Crushers
On the certification front, MP (MP Mining Equipment Corp., Ltd) holds ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications, establishing a management system that meets international standards. More importantly, MP's primary crushing and screening equipment is CE-certified, fully complying with the EU Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC), Low Voltage Directive (2014/35/EU), and Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (2014/30/EU). This ensures that MP's mining equipment meets all mandatory safety and health requirements for the European market, with no compliance barriers to entry.
Rockster Proposes Technical Upgrade for Two Jaw Crushers and Seeks MP's Engineering Support
Two Rockster Jaw Crushers Remain Unupgraded for 20 Years
Following the introductions, Thomas outlined the core purpose of his visit.Rockster's R800 and R1200 jaw crushers – two of its flagship mobile crushing units – have not undergone any major technology upgrade for a full twenty years. As the industry has rapidly advanced, the original designs have fallen behind in terms of operational convenience and production efficiency. The purpose of traveling from Europe to China was precisely to leverage MP's technical expertise in the mobile crusher sector to complete this equipment upgrade.

Rockster's Strict Upgrade Requirements for Mobile Jaw Crushers
Specifically, the customer requested the conversion of the original mechanical discharge port adjustment system to a hydraulic adjustment system. Given that both models are mobile crushing equipment, installation space is extremely limited, and equipment weight is subject to strict constraints. Thomas specifically noted that certain components – marked in orange on the engineering drawings – cannot be modified. All technical upgrades must be implemented within the designated areas without any alteration to the existing frame, connection points, or other structures.

MP Makes Four Commitments to Fully Meet the Upgrade Requirements
After fully understanding the customer's requirements, Yang Bo ( General Manager of MP) made the following four formal commitments:
Commitment 1 – Full engineering capability
MP possesses a complete R&D and engineering system and is not a simple build-to-print manufacturer. With end-to-end development capabilities ranging from fundamental research to process optimization, MP can deliver a true rock crusher technology upgrade, not merely replicate existing drawings.
Commitment 2 – Full compliance with installation dimensions
MP guarantees that the upgraded hydraulic adjustment system will be directly retrofitted onto the existing equipment without any modification to the original frame or other structures.
Commitment 3 – Lighter weight with unchanged structural strength
MP commits to implementing lightweight design measures that reduce the equipment's self-weight while ensuring no reduction in structural strength, thereby lowering material costs. This lightweight design is particularly critical for mobile crusher applications.
Commitment 4 – Higher production capacity
The upgraded jaw crusher will achieve greater throughput compared to the original design, delivering higher return on investment for the customer.

Five Benefits of Converting from Mechanical to Hydraulic Adjustment
Regarding the core scope of the upgrade – replacing the mechanical adjustment system with a hydraulic system – MP (MP Mining Equipment Corp., Ltd) delivers the following five tangible benefits for the customer:
Benefit 1 – Easier operation
The original mechanical adjustment system relied entirely on manual labor, requiring workers to manually insert plates, which was labor-intensive and inefficient. With the hydraulic system, operators can complete the adjustment by simply pressing a button, significantly reducing operational difficulty and improving equipment usability.
Benefit 2 – Unchanged installation dimensions
The customer is not required to modify the frame or any other structures. The upgraded unit can be installed directly, minimizing the customer's retrofit costs. This advantage is especially valuable for existing mobile crushing equipment already in the field.
Benefit 3 – Lighter equipment weight
Through lightweight design without compromising structural strength, the self-weight is reduced, leading to corresponding reductions in material costs. A lighter rock crusher means lower transportation costs and easier on-site mobility.
Benefit 4 – Higher throughput
The upgraded jaw crusher achieves significantly greater production capacity compared to the original design, directly enhancing the customer's profitability. Higher throughput translates to more efficient mining equipment operations.
Benefit 5 – Drastically shortened delivery time
MP commits to completing the engineering design within just 5 working days, whereas alternative solutions typically require ten months to years. This delivery speed is highly competitive in the global crusher OEM services market.
Rockster Satisfied With MP's Upgrade Solution, Both Parties Agree on Full Design and Production Cooperation
After reviewing MP (MP Mining Equipment Corp., Ltd)'s detailed technical proposal and formal commitments, Thomas expressed full satisfaction. He specifically noted that MP's technical capability, product quality, and cost competitiveness have been highly recognized by Rockster.
Joint Development of Crushers and Production Transfer From Austria and Romania to MP
The two parties agreed to pursue joint technical development. Upon completion of the upgrade design, the products will be manufactured directly by MP and supplied to the European market, replacing those previously produced at the Austrian and Romanian factories for crushing and screening equipment.
How Rockster Benefits From This Cooperation
This cooperation model brings significant benefits to Rockster: substantially lower procurement costs, enhanced product market competitiveness, and product iteration at a pace far faster than what European in-house development could achieve. Rockster's mobile crusher, which had remained unchanged for two decades, will now undergo a complete renewal with MP's technical support.
MP Continues R&D Investment for Global OEM Services
MP's Comprehensive Competitiveness Gains International Recognition
The successful conclusion of this cooperation demonstrates that MP (MP Mining Equipment Corp., Ltd)'s R&D capability, manufacturing capacity, delivery speed, quality assurance, certifications, and price competitiveness have earned full recognition from premium European brands. MP not only delivers high-quality rock crushers and screening equipment but also possesses the complete capability to provide deep technical upgrades and OEM services for global customers.
MP Continues R&D Investment to Empower the Global Crusher Industry
General Manager of MP stated that the company will continue to increase R&D investment and pursue ongoing technology upgrades and improvements, providing OEM services for crusher, feeder, screen, and mining equipment manufacturers in Europe and globally. Against the backdrop of rapid global technology iteration, MP remains committed to delivering efficient, cost-effective solutions that empower industry peers worldwide.
