Schedule a Komplet Equipment Demonstration

Buying a compact crusher, screener, shredder, or conveyor is a serious capital decision. Specifications on a product page tell you what a machine should do. A demonstration shows you what it actually does — with material similar to what you process, in conditions similar to your jobsite, with your questions answered in real time. For most contractors, recyclers, demolition firms, and equipment dealers evaluating Komplet, the demo is the moment the decision moves from considering to committing.

Komplet America offers equipment demonstrations to qualified buyers and dealer prospects. This guide explains where demos happen, what equipment is available to see in operation, what to expect on demo day, how to prepare so you get the most from your visit, and how to schedule. Whether you are evaluating a single K-JC 503 mini jaw crusher for a small contracting business or building out a multi-unit fleet around the Krokodile PLUS, the demonstration program is built around one principle from the Conti family construction legacy: done once, done right.

Why a Demonstration Matters Before You Buy

Compact crushing, screening, shredding, and conveying equipment is not commodity machinery. Two crushers with similar published throughput numbers can perform very differently in real material. Output gradation, dust control behavior, ease of changing jaw plates, hopper accessibility, remote control responsiveness, footprint constraints during setup and breakdown, fuel burn under load — these are details no spec sheet captures. They are also the details that determine whether a machine pays for itself in eight months or eighteen.

A demonstration lets you evaluate the machine on the dimensions that actually drive return on investment:

• Real-world throughput in your material type, not a theoretical maximum on ideal feed
• Output product quality — gradation, fines content, cubicality (for impact crushers), and contamination if present
• Operator interface — wireless remote control responsiveness, control logic, ease of mode changes
• Safety and serviceability — guard placement, access for daily inspection, ease of jaw plate or blow bar changeout
• Footprint and mobility — how the machine sets up, breaks down, and moves between work areas
• Dust and noise behavior — particularly important for urban or noise-restricted projects
• Maintenance access — grease points, hydraulic fittings, electrical panels, and wear part replacement

For dealers and rental house operators evaluating whether to add Komplet to their lineup, the demonstration also serves a second purpose: it shows you how the equipment will perform when your customers see it. Confidence sells. Watching a Komplet K-JC 704 PLUS process concrete demolition rubble while standing next to it is a different experience than reading about it.

Where Komplet Demonstrations Happen

Komplet America runs demonstrations at one of two locations: the Komplet America yard at 749 Clawson Avenue in Hillsborough, New Jersey, or at the location of an authorized Komplet dealer. Demos do not happen at customer jobsites. This is a deliberate policy and it benefits the buyer in three ways.

First, it ensures the equipment is in proper demonstration condition — fully fueled, freshly inspected, and set up on prepared ground. A demo at a customer site introduces variables that have nothing to do with the machine and everything to do with site conditions. Those variables can mask real performance and create a false impression in either direction.

Second, it ensures access to the right material for evaluation. The Hillsborough yard maintains feedstock for crushing, screening, and shredding demonstrations — concrete, asphalt, mixed C&D rubble, wood waste, soil, and aggregate. Authorized dealers similarly maintain demo material on site. You see the machine work the type of material you actually process, fed through the machine the way it was designed to be fed.

Third, it ensures access to the experienced personnel who can answer your questions. The Hillsborough team includes operations, service, and product specialists who have worked with every machine in the lineup. They can speak to long-term maintenance patterns, common operator mistakes, financing structures, parts availability, and how the machine compares to alternatives in different applications. That depth of knowledge does not travel well to a one-day customer-site visit.

The Hillsborough, New Jersey Yard

The Komplet America headquarters yard at 749 Clawson Avenue, Hillsborough NJ 08844 is the central demonstration location. The full product lineup is represented there. The yard is roughly 60 minutes from Newark Liberty International Airport and is accessible from major Northeast highway corridors. For prospects traveling from outside the region, the team can recommend nearby hotels and coordinate logistics for multi-day evaluations when more than one machine is being considered. Call 908-369-3340 to discuss yard demo scheduling.

Authorized Komplet Dealer Locations

For prospects in regions outside the Northeast, demos can be arranged through the authorized Komplet dealer network. Authorized dealers maintain demo units in their territories and are equipped to run demonstrations on behalf of Komplet America. Current dealer partners include Century Equipment, The Groundworx Co, Rock and Recycling Equipment, RPM Equipment Sales & Rentals, R.R. Equipment, Sotrex, US Equipment Sales & Rentals, Westate Machinery, and Wilson Equipment. Coverage varies by territory, and not every dealer keeps every model in their demo fleet. The Komplet America team can match you with the dealer best positioned to demonstrate the specific machine you are evaluating.

What Equipment Is Available to Demonstrate

The Komplet America lineup spans crushing, screening, shredding, and conveying. Demonstration availability of any specific model depends on current yard inventory and dealer territory, but the full product range is supported by the demo program.

Crushing Demonstrations

Five crusher models are available for demonstration:

• K-JC 503 Mini Jaw Crusher — 25 hp Tier 4 Final diesel, 19″ × 12″ jaw, up to 34 US tph, 7,496 lb. The smallest crusher in the lineup. Ideal for small contractors, tight urban work, basement demolition, and anyone whose jobsite or trailer cannot accommodate a larger machine. Standard wireless remote control. Standard dust suppression. Standard magnetic separator. Often demonstrated processing concrete cylinders, mixed brick and block rubble, and natural stone.
• K-JC 604 Mobile Jaw Crusher — 55 hp Tier 4 Final diesel, 23″ × 16″ jaw, up to 55 US tph, 19,400 lb. The mid-range jaw crusher and a frequent step-up choice for contractors who outgrew rental equipment. Standard wireless remote control. Standard magnetic separator. Strong fit for paving contractors recycling reclaimed asphalt and concrete on the project they are paving.
• K-JC 704 PLUS Portable Jaw Crusher — 74 hp Deutz Tier 4 Final diesel, 27″ × 16″ jaw, up to 90 US tph, 26,455 lb. The best-selling crusher in the Komplet lineup. Includes Komplet Connect remote monitoring as standard. Wireless remote control standard. Magnetic separator standard. Most-demonstrated machine — usually paired with the K-TC 460 conveyor and a Kompatto screener for combined-system demos showing how a full processing train operates together.
• K-JC 805 Mobile Jaw Crusher — 130 hp Tier 4 Final diesel, 31″ × 21″ jaw, up to 160 US tph, 49,600 lb. The largest jaw crusher in the lineup, semi-pro classification. Standard wireless remote control, magnetic separator, side conveyor, and Komplet Connect remote monitoring. Frequently demonstrated to rock quarry operators, larger demolition firms, and prospects evaluating Komplet against full-size crushers.
• K-IC 70 Compact Impact Crusher — 100 hp Tier 4 Final diesel, 25″ × 20″ inlet, up to 90 US tph, 28,600 lb. The premium choice for cubical aggregate and reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) reduction. This is an impact crusher, not a jaw crusher — different mechanism, different output product, different ideal application. Demonstrated separately from the jaw lineup so the difference in output gradation and shape is unmistakable. Standard dust suppression. Standard magnetic separator.

Screening Demonstrations

Five screener models are available for demonstration. Three are vibrating scalping screens (the Kompatto line) and two are trommel screeners (the K-TS line):

• Kompatto 221 Vibrating Screener — 25 hp Tier 4 Final diesel, 7′ × 3.5′ two-deck screen box, up to 90 US tph, 7,275 lb. The smallest self-propelled scalper in the lineup. Strong fit for contractors who want a screener matched to a small crusher footprint or for landscaping and topsoil applications.
• Kompatto 5030 Heavy-Duty Vibrating Screener — 55 hp Tier 4 Final diesel, 8′ × 3’2″ plus 7′ × 3’2″ decks, up to 280 US tph, 26,455 lb. The best-selling screener in the lineup. Most commonly demonstrated paired with the K-JC 704 PLUS to show how a crusher and screener feed material to each other in a continuous processing line.
• Kompatto 124 Mobile Vibrating Screener — 75 hp Tier 4 Final diesel, 11.8′ × 3.7′ plus 10.8′ × 3.7′ decks, up to 350 tph, 37,038 lb. The largest scalper in the lineup. Demonstrated to higher-volume operators and aggregate producers.
• K-TS 30 Compact Trommel Screener — 23 kW genset (electric drive), 5’6″ × 4’3″ plus 8’6″ × 4’3″ decks, up to 60 mch, 8,818 lb. The smaller trommel — particularly suited to compost screening, topsoil, and applications where a rotating drum produces a cleaner separation than a vibrating deck.
• K-TS 40 Portable Trommel Screener — 40 kW genset (electric drive), 10.5′ × 4.6′ plus 14.3′ × 3.7′ decks, up to 120 tph, 25,353 lb. The larger trommel. Demonstrated to composting facilities, larger landscape suppliers, and contractors who handle higher-volume soil and organics work.

Vibrating screens (Kompatto) and trommel screens (K-TS) are not interchangeable. They are designed for different applications, different material types, and different output expectations. Demonstrating both side by side — when both are available — is one of the most useful comparisons Komplet America offers, because the choice between vibrating and trommel often depends on factors that are hard to communicate in writing but obvious within five minutes of watching each machine work.

Shredding Demonstrations

The Krokodile PLUS Slow-Speed Shredder is the single shredder model in the Komplet lineup. Despite being one model, it is highly versatile because of its dual-shaft system. Two shaft configurations are available, swappable through a quick-change system:

• C&D / Asphalt teeth-and-shaft configuration — for concrete, asphalt, brick, block, and mixed construction and demolition rubble. Output sized down to 0–3-1/4″. Production rate up to 175 US tph in C&D and asphalt material.
• Wood / Lightweight Waste teeth-and-shaft configuration — for wood waste, drywall, plastics, garbage, mixed waste, and green compostable material. Output up to 12″ depending on configuration. Production rate up to 19 US tph in mixed waste and 18 US tph in plastic.

The Krokodile PLUS uses dual-shaft shredding technology. Specifications: 220 hp Volvo Penta Tier 4 Final diesel, 60-inch (1,500 mm) shaft running at 0–35 rpm with 160,000 Nm torque, 34,171 lb operating weight. Komplet Connect remote monitoring is standard. Wireless remote control standard. Demonstrations typically focus on whichever shaft configuration matches the prospect’s primary material — but if both interest you, ask about a dual-configuration demo when you call to schedule. Seeing the shaft changeover process is itself one of the most informative parts of a Krokodile demonstration.

A common misconception that comes up during early conversations: the Krokodile PLUS does shred concrete and asphalt with the proper shaft installed. It is not a wood-only machine. Customers who initially dismiss the Krokodile because they think it cannot handle hard C&D material are working from outdated information. The current Krokodile PLUS shreds both, with the right shaft.

Conveying Demonstrations

The K-TC 460 Tracked Mobile Conveyor is the conveyor in the Komplet lineup. Demonstrations of the K-TC 460 are typically combined with a crusher or screener demo so prospects can see the full processing train: feed material into the crusher, crusher output to a screener, screener separated product to the K-TC 460 conveyor, conveyor stacking the finished product. This is the configuration that most production-oriented operators end up running, and seeing it work end-to-end is more useful than evaluating each machine in isolation.

The K-TC 460 is a tracked mobile conveyor — not a stacker, not a wheeled or towable conveyor. It moves on its own tracks under its own power and is positioned via the same wireless remote control system used across the Komplet lineup.

What to Expect During a Demonstration

A typical Komplet demonstration at the Hillsborough yard or at a dealer location runs anywhere from two hours to a full day, depending on how many machines are being shown and how deep the conversation goes. Most demonstrations follow a consistent rhythm.

Walk-Around and Specifications Review

Before the machine starts, the demo lead walks through the equipment at rest. Major components — engine, hopper, jaw chamber or shredder shaft, magnetic separator, conveyors, control panel — are pointed out. Daily inspection points and grease zones are identified. Standard features versus optional features are clarified. This part typically runs 20 to 40 minutes per machine and is your opportunity to ask about anything that has been unclear from product literature.

Operating Demonstration

The machine is started, warmed up, and run through a feeding cycle on prepared material. Wireless remote control operation is demonstrated. Output product is sampled. If you are evaluating a crusher, the closed side setting may be adjusted during the demo so you see how output gradation changes. If you are evaluating the Krokodile PLUS, the operator may switch between shredding modes — C&D, wood, waste, customized, synchronized, asynchronized — depending on what configuration is loaded. If a screener is part of the demo, deck angle and screen media options are discussed.

Hands-On Operation (When Appropriate)

Qualified operators with relevant experience can request hands-on time with the wireless remote. This is not always available — equipment liability, insurance, and operator-experience considerations apply — but for serious prospects with demonstrated competence, it is often included. Hands-on time is among the most useful parts of a demo because it confirms (or refutes) whether the control system fits the way your operators think and work.

Service, Parts, and Support Discussion

Most demonstrations include time spent away from the machine talking through service intervals, common wear part replacement timing, parts availability, warranty terms (1 year or 1,000 hours, whichever comes first, on new units), and support response times. The Hillsborough team brings service experience to this conversation that pure sales conversations cannot match.

Financing and Quote Discussion

If purchase decisions are imminent, the demo often closes with a financing and pricing conversation. Komplet America has financing partners and can structure operating leases, capital leases, fair-market-value leases, and dollar-buyout leases depending on the prospect’s preference and tax position. Section 179 implications are reviewed when relevant. Prospects considering purchasing through a dealer rather than direct are connected to the appropriate dealer for territory-specific quotes.

How to Prepare for a Productive Demonstration

A small amount of preparation transforms a demo from a generic equipment showcase into a focused decision-making session. Five things to bring or think through before the demo:

• A material profile. Know what you actually process. Concrete only, or concrete and asphalt? Reinforced or clean? Average piece size? Daily volume? If you can bring a five-gallon bucket of representative material, the demo team will run it through the machine. There is no substitute for watching your material be processed.
• A duty-cycle profile. Be specific about hours of operation per day, days per week, weeks per year, and project mobility. This drives sizing recommendations more than throughput numbers do. A K-JC 503 working 200 hours per year for a small contractor is a very different decision than a K-JC 704 PLUS working 1,800 hours per year for a regional demolition firm.
• A site profile. Bring photos or descriptions of typical jobsites — access constraints, overhead clearances, ground conditions, noise restrictions, dust restrictions, neighboring uses. The right machine for an open quarry is rarely the right machine for an urban infill demolition.
• A questions list. Write down the things you want answered. Demos move fast and it is easy to forget what you came to ask. Maintenance interval questions, parts pricing questions, financing questions, dealer-versus-direct purchase questions — get them down on paper before you arrive.
• A decision-maker. The most efficient demos involve the actual decision-maker, not just an evaluator. If the demo goes well, the next step is a quote, and the quote is most useful in the hands of the person who can act on it. If a partner, controller, or co-owner needs to be in the loop, bringing them to the demo or scheduling a follow-up call with them while the equipment is fresh is far more effective than relaying secondhand impressions.

How to Schedule a Komplet Equipment Demonstration

Three paths are available depending on your situation.

Direct Through Komplet America

Call Komplet America at 908-369-3340 — sales and service share this single line. The team will discuss what equipment fits your application, where you are located, and which demo location (Hillsborough yard or authorized dealer) makes the most sense. If you prefer to start in writing, the contact form at kompletamerica.com/contact-us/ reaches the same team. Mention in the form that you are interested in a demonstration and identify the equipment and timeframe.

Through an Authorized Dealer

If there is an authorized Komplet dealer in your territory, they may be the faster path to a demo — particularly if travel to New Jersey is not practical. Dealer territories vary, and not every dealer carries every demo unit. Find your local dealer at Find Your Komplet Dealer and contact them directly, or call Komplet America and the team will route you to the right dealer.

During an Industry Event or Trade Show

Komplet America regularly attends major industry trade shows and events including CONEXPO-CON/AGG, the AED Summit, World of Concrete, and various regional aggregate and demolition association meetings. Demonstrations at trade shows are typically static (machines on display, not running) but can be a useful first conversation that leads to a follow-up at the yard or with a dealer. Check Komplet America social channels for current event schedules.

Considering Pre-Owned Equipment? Demos Still Apply

Komplet America also maintains a pre-owned inventory of used compact crushers, screeners, shredders, and conveyors. Pre-owned units are inspected before listing and represent strong value for prospects whose budget does not match a new unit but whose application demands proven equipment. Demonstrations of pre-owned units happen at the Hillsborough yard alongside new equipment demos. The current pre-owned inventory is at Komplet’s pre-owned inventory. When scheduling, mention if you want a pre-owned-specific demo so the team can prepare the right unit.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a typical demo take?

A single-machine demonstration typically runs two to four hours, including walk-around, operating demonstration, hands-on time when appropriate, and service and pricing discussion. Multi-machine or full-system demonstrations (crusher plus screener plus conveyor) often run a half day or full day. The Komplet America team will recommend a time block when scheduling.

Is there a charge for a demonstration?

Demonstrations themselves are not charged. Travel and lodging for the prospect are the prospect’s responsibility. For prospects traveling significant distances to the Hillsborough yard, the team can recommend nearby hotels and coordinate logistics.

Can I bring my own material to run through the machine?

Yes. This is one of the most useful things a prospect can do. A five-gallon bucket of representative material allows the demo team to run actual feedstock similar to what your operation processes, producing actual output that you can evaluate against your specifications. Mention this when scheduling so the team can prepare for a material-specific run.

Can I operate the equipment myself during a demo?

Hands-on operation is available for qualified operators with relevant experience, subject to equipment, insurance, and safety considerations. Refer to the user manual prior to operating any Komplet machinery. The demo team will walk you through control logic and safety practices before any hands-on time.

Do demos happen at customer jobsites?

No. Demonstrations happen at the Komplet America yard in Hillsborough, NJ or at an authorized Komplet dealer location. This policy ensures the equipment is in proper demonstration condition, the right material is available for evaluation, and the right personnel are present to answer questions in depth. Customer-site demos introduce variables unrelated to the equipment that distort evaluation.

Which machine should I see if I’m evaluating multiple options?

Discuss this with the Komplet America team when scheduling. The recommendation depends on your application, volume, site constraints, and budget. Common starting points: K-JC 704 PLUS for general-purpose contractor crushing, Kompatto 5030 for screening evaluation, Krokodile PLUS for shredding evaluation, and the K-IC 70 specifically for cubical aggregate or RAP reduction needs. The team can also recommend combined-system demos for prospects evaluating a full processing line.

Are pre-owned units available to demonstrate?

Yes — when units are in stock and at the yard. Pre-owned inventory varies. Check current availability at Komplet’s pre-owned inventory or call to confirm before traveling.

How far in advance should I schedule?

Two to three weeks of lead time allows the team to ensure the equipment you want to see is available, the right personnel are scheduled, and any material-specific preparation is complete. Shorter notice can sometimes be accommodated, particularly for demos at dealer locations. Call as early as you can — demos slots fill up around major industry events.

Final Thoughts

A demonstration is the bridge between a specification sheet and a purchase order. For most buyers of compact crushing, screening, shredding, and conveying equipment, it is also the moment of greatest information transfer — when months of online research, spec comparisons, and dealer conversations come together in front of the actual machine doing the actual work. Komplet America’s demo program is built to make that moment count: the right equipment, the right material, the right people, at a location that allows for unhurried evaluation. Built on the Conti family construction legacy dating to 1906 and the principle that has guided that legacy for more than a century — done once, done right — the demonstration is one more way the company gets the decision right the first time.
