en.Wedoany.com Reported - Mobile crushing, screening, and conveying equipment manufacturer Powerscreen will celebrate its 60th anniversary at the Hillhead 2026 quarrying, construction & recycling exhibition (June 23-25) in the UK.

Powerscreen, together with its long-standing UK distributor Blue Group, will showcase at this year's Hillhead the pioneering ideas that created mobile screening technology in the 1960s, alongside the modern crushing and screening solutions that define the brand today. Located in the newly expanded H6 exhibition area, the centerpiece of the stand will be a fully refurbished MK1 screening unit. This original machine started Powerscreen's journey and helped establish the concept of mobile screening. Visitors can learn about the MK1's history, its role in shaping the industry, and the restoration process through historical materials and video content. A Hall of Fame induction ceremony will also be held during the Hillhead show, honoring individuals who have made significant contributions to the brand's development over the past six decades.

The current models on display at Hillhead reinforce this legacy, including the Chieftain 2200 triple-deck screener—the largest incline screen in the Powerscreen range. Developed for high-volume applications requiring consistent, high-specification material, this equipment features a patented configurable drive system and a two-bearing screenbox design, enabling efficient operation across a wide range of applications.

"Powerscreen pioneered mobile screening technology, fundamentally changing how aggregates are processed globally," said Sean Loughran, Powerscreen Business Line Director. "Early machines like the MK1 were at the forefront of mobile processing, and the Chieftain design platform provided the blueprint for many modern mobile aggregate screens. As a result, the Powerscreen brand is intrinsically linked with mobile screening worldwide, and model names like Chieftain are now widely recognized throughout the industry."

Also on display at the Hillhead stand will be the Premiertrak R450 jaw crusher, developed for quarrying, recycling, demolition, and mining applications. This model can be optionally fitted with an independent pre-screen, offering practical advantages when processing high-fines materials by reducing wear, increasing throughput, and improving final product quality.
