Compact, Powerful, Ready: The Rockster R700 Arrives in Brazil

MINING13 de May de 2026
Marking the start of a strategic partnership between Lippel and Rockster in southern Brazil, a municipality in Santa Catarina has taken delivery of the first R700 impact crusher in the region. Selected for its reliability and versatility, the R700 will support daily crushing and screening operations, reflecting both companies' shared commitment to high performance.
Lippel: Tradition and Innovation
Headquartered in Agrolândia, Santa Catarina, Lippel is a Brazilian manufacturer with deep roots in the metalworking and biomass technology sectors. Founded in 1975, the company has become a benchmark in waste management and sustainable energy solutions. With a team of approximately 200 employees, Lippel blends traditional engineering with continuous innovation to deliver equipment such as wood chippers, shredders, and forestry machinery.
Lippel’s focus on sustainability makes it the ideal partner for municipalities seeking to turn waste into valuable resources while boosting productivity and environmental outcomes.
R700: Entry-Level Versatility with Global Power
Acquired through a recent public tender, the R700 proved to be the ideal solution. While it serves as an excellent entry-level model, it is ranked among the most versatile and powerful compact tracked impact crushers on the world market.
"The municipality chose the Rockster R700 for its proven reliability and compact yet powerful design—perfect for daily needs, whether in a basalt quarry or a demolition site," states the Lippel Sales Department.
The Hydrostatic Drive Advantage
Beyond delivering impressive performance for its weight class (22.8 t including the screening system), the R700 stands out for its diesel-hydraulic drive.
-
Energy Efficiency: The rotor is driven by a hydrostatic pump, allowing the Volvo Penta engine to operate within its optimal RPM range, ensuring consistently high production.
-
Simplified Maintenance: Since the system is familiar to excavator and loader operators, maintenance is intuitive, reducing the need for complex training.
-
Product Quality: Adjustable rotor RPM ensures a high-value, 100% defined cubical final product.
High Performance, Small Logistical Footprint
The R700’s mobility allows for fast and cost-effective deployment. Thanks to its compact dimensions, it can be transported on standard trailers without the need for special permits.
