This comminution and separation solutions specialist will be showcasing several new cutting-edge innovations, all the way from

innovative crushing, sorting and screening technologies to better monitoring and optimi- sation solutions for existing equipment. According to Penny Höll, PR & Marketing Manager for IMS, one of the most exciting developments the company will be showcasing is its IMOST system. This remotely monitors and manages customers’ IMS equipment in real time via telecommunications, helping them improve their plants’ intelligence, reliability and performance. Apart from IMOST, IMS will be showcasing another new interesting technology recently added to its stable, General Kinematics – a two-mass vibratory technology which goes beyond the boundaries of conventional vibra- tory equipment. “We will also have an Astro Jaw, as well as a Cybas-i cone crusher at the stand,” adds Höll. 
