Designed by Techs, for Techs
Ease of maintenance is a key pillar of the Keestrack philosophy. Kees Hoogendoorn himself was a fitter - he knows what it’s like to work on these machines and you can tell. Everything is built for ease of access, smooth operation and low maintenance, from the open access engine bay with an auto greaser, to the pressurised housing for the electrics.
Even the little things are expertly engineered. For example, their steel piping that dissipates heat more efficiently than typical rubber hosing, the machine doors which have heavy duty handles and gas struts.
As Bert swings open the side doors, we can see the filters in thought out, logical locations, right where you need them for faster maintenance. Its’ simple, smart design that makes the everyday operations easier.
Easy On
Bert Hart, Equip2, takes us for a closer look, and we’re impressed from the start. Standing at the control panel the first thing we notice is signature Keestrack simplicity - once the ignition is on, you reset the e-stops and the machine is ready to run.
Like all Keestracks, you can also operate the machine entirely from the remote. Operators can auto-start the machine, adjust feeder speed, main belt speed, and even the crusher entry—all without leaving the cab.

The Double Advantage
Good things come in twos with the R3e, with double decks, dual aprons and your hybrid power options.
The standout feature that puts the R3e leagues above any other machine, is the new double deck screen box. It’s yet another example of thoughtful design that’s unique to the Keestrack.
Making the switch to the Keestrack family with Equip2 provides you with a massive competitive advantage. Ultimately resulting in more profitable Quarry business.. With two decks you can double output by pulling a mid-fraction product and a main product simultaneously, maximizing your efficiency. Each belt has a stacking height of three meters, increasing stockpiling capability and any returns material is sent back into the machine for an extra innings - no wastage, maximum output.
Speaking of double, this plant also has dual aprons which are all interchangeable, reversible and replaceable. Its just another way you can maximise output, reduce maintenance costs and keep the machine operating for longer.
Hybrid Powerhouse
One of the R3e’s biggest advantages is its hybrid power system, giving you options - either run it off the onboard generator, or plug it straight into the mains. It’s one of the first up to the plate in terms of hybrid crushers, delivering a potential 90 percent reduction in carbon footprint. Running electric means you’ll see significant savings and you’ll also lose the engine noise.
No power? No problem. For sites off the beaten track where you don’t have access to the grid, the onboard diesel Genset will still keep you running. And even then, this efficient player still delivers a 50 percent carbon footprint reduction, compared to a traditional diesel - hydraulic plant.

Crushing It
We head inside the chamber for a closer look at the R3e’s game changing square rotor design. The shape of the rotor means less grinding and more impact, as material hits the face of the blowbar, launching it up at a perfect 45 degree angle to the dual aprons. The result? Better shape, higher production, and longer wear life.
Its no secret these machines have to take a few hard knocks, and every aspect of the R3e is built with durability in mind. Starting at the top, the hopper is lined with a Hardox steel, reinforcing the already durable Domex parent material. The whole frame is made of Domex, a 350 grade steel that saves on transport weight without sacrificing strength.
While we’re looking at the hopper, Bert points out the unique asymmetric design, which prevents jams and keeps material flowing.
With production rates reaching up to 400 tonnes per hour and a design that excels in processing everything from limestone to greywacke, the R3e is built for high performance. In the below Walkthrough video, Bert tells us that sites with this machine are reporting a 30% increase in production over traditional set ups - that’s a massive contribution to growth and profitability, in an industry where every load counts.

The Keestrack Difference
For Quarry Managers looking for a machine that delivers on efficiency, performance, and ease of use, the Keestrack R3e with a double deck is your star player that consistently gets scores on the board. It’s built by people who understand the game, for people who want results. Keestrack thinks for the Quarry - and that’s what makes these machines stand out.
