MEVAS Machinery Evaluation, a globally recognized leader in heavy equipment inspections, has released expert advice for buyers of used crushers, addressing key considerations to ensure quality and value in the mining and quarrying industries. With nearly 20 years of experience inspecting heavy machinery across Europe, the Middle East, and beyond, MEVAS provides critical insights to help buyers navigate the complexities of purchasing used crushing equipment.
According to MEVAS, selecting the right used crusher—whether jaw, impact, or cone—requires careful evaluation of machine condition, brand reliability, and intended application. Popular brands like Metso, Sandvik, Kleemann, and Terex are recommended for their durability, but MEVAS warns that quarry equipment endures extreme wear due to vibrations and harsh conditions. Buyers should prioritize machines with verified maintenance records and avoid those with signs of excessive wear or hidden damage, such as modified hour meters.
MEVAS emphasizes the importance of professional inspections to mitigate risks. Their network of qualified engineers, operating in countries including Germany, Poland, Spain, the UAE, and the USA, conducts thorough assessments of crushers, screens, and other quarry equipment. Key inspection points include the rotor, hammers, crushing chamber, bearings, and feed system. For exports to regions like Australia or New Zealand, MEVAS also offers biosecurity inspections to meet strict regulatory standards.
“Purchasing a used crusher is a significant investment with potential pitfalls,” said Wolfgang Bühn, founder of MEVAS. “Our independent inspections provide buyers with detailed reports and photos, ensuring confidence in their purchase.” MEVAS does not buy or sell equipment, maintaining strict impartiality to deliver unbiased evaluations trusted by industry professionals worldwide.
