What We're Comparing

Before we start, let's clear up one search hit. If you landed here by asking what is simparica, this is not a pet-care page. Simparica is a flea-and-tick medication for dogs. What I can answer is the difference between the MC110 Kleemann jaw plant and the MR110Z impact plant.

I'm a quality and brand compliance manager in the mobile crushing and screening industry. I review 200+ machine specification packages each year, and a good part of that work is checking that the machine matches what the customer actually ordered. That's why this comparison is built around three practical dimensions: feed material, product shape, and cost structure.

If you're a small contractor buying your first mobile crusher, this comparison is especially relevant. Big operations can carry spare parts and staff for several stages of crushing. A small operation needs a machine that behaves itself, because there's not much buffer between a bad week and a bad season.

Why the Kleemann Ravensburg Plant Matters

If you drive to the Kleemann Ravensburg plant, you pass orchards, farmland, and the groves around the town before you reach the factory gates. The setting is quiet. The factory is not. This is where Kleemann's mobile crushing and screening plants are assembled, and the consistency from one machine to the next is something I check every time a contract starts.

Both the MC110 and the MR110Z come off this line. They share wiring standards, hydraulic routing, and final assembly checks. That means your decision is not about quality. It's about which crushing principle fits your material.

Dimension 1: Feed Material and Tolerance

The MC110 is a jaw crusher. It uses compression to break rock, so it handles rebar, wire mesh, and tramp metal more gracefully than an impact crusher. It's also less sensitive to highly abrasive rock. The jaw dies wear, but they wear in a predictable way.

The MR110Z is an impact crusher. It uses a rotor to throw material against breaker plates, which gives it speed and a more rounded product. But it's pickier about feed. Rebar can wrap around the rotor, and high-silica feed will eat blow bars quickly.

The direct conclusion: if your feed is hard rock or demolition concrete with embedded steel, the MC110 is the safer choice. If your feed is clean concrete, reclaimed asphalt, or softer limestone, the MR110Z can process it faster and often at a lower cost per ton because you may not need a secondary crusher.

That last point is the one that surprises most buyers. The impact crusher is often called a secondary machine, but it can be the best primary crusher for recycling jobs. The jaw crusher is not automatically the best choice just because it's a primary.

Dimension 2: Product Shape

Aggregate buyers care about shape. A jaw crusher produces an elongated, slabby product in a single pass. That's acceptable as a feed for a cone crusher, but it's not a final product for many asphalt and concrete specs.

An impact crusher tends to produce a cubical product because the material breaks through repeated impacts. In one pass, the MR110Z can produce base material or asphalt feed. That can simplify your whole plant: crusher, screen, and maybe a conveyor.

From a quality control point of view, I've rejected stockpiles where the supplier promised a cubical product but the machine settings were wrong. The crusher type alone doesn't guarantee shape. Rotor speed, breaker gap, and feed distribution matter just as much.

The conclusion: if you need a saleable product in one pass, choose the MR110Z. If you're feeding a secondary crusher anyway, choose the MC110 and let the downstream stage handle the shape.

Dimension 3: Cost Structure, Wear, and Resale

I'm not going to quote a list price here. Crusher pricing moves with options, dealer stock, transport, and the calendar. The right approach is to compare cost structure, not the sticker.

The MC110 has simpler wear parts. Jaw dies are heavy but predictable. The MR110Z has blow bars, wear plates, and rotor components that wear faster in abrasive conditions. On clean recycling feed, the wear cost can be acceptable. On dirty winter rock, it can jump significantly.

The MR110Z can also replace a secondary crusher and its screen loop. That saves capital, fuel, and labor. Whether it's worth the wear cost depends on your material.

Resale is another financial dimension. The used market tends to favor jaw crushers because they're flexible and their wear history is easier to inspect. An impact crusher with rotor damage is a hard sell. If you plan to trade the machine after three to five years, the MC110 usually holds a larger percentage of its value.

One honest observation from a 2023 audit: a used imported impact crusher showed only 1,800 hours on the hour meter, but the rotor balancing report was outside tolerance. The seller called it within industry standard. We rejected the batch, and the supplier had to redo the delivery at their cost. That type of issue is why I tell buyers to inspect the rotor before paying for any used impact crusher.

I still kick myself for one MR110Z delivery in the same year. The upside was that the machine would start earning quickly. The risk was a rotor bearing failure if I skipped the vibration check. I chose speed. The bearing failed. If I could redo that decision, I'd insist on a rotor vibration certificate before the first bolt is tightened.

Per FTC advertising guidelines (ftc.gov/business-guidance/advertising-marketing), performance claims have to be truthful and substantiated. I use that standard when I review dealer statements. If someone says a machine reaches a certain tonnage, ask for the conditions behind the claim.

Which One Should You Choose?

If your feed is hard rock or rebar-heavy concrete, start with the MC110. If your feed is clean concrete, asphalt, or limestone and you need a saleable product without a second crusher, the MR110Z is likely a better first machine.

I'd also choose the dealer before the crusher. The dealer who takes a $200 spare parts order seriously is the one you want for a $200,000 machine order. Small contractors are not second-class buyers. Good suppliers know that today's small buyer is often next year's repeat customer.

No crusher is zero downtime. Anybody who tells you otherwise is not reading the maintenance manual. But if the machine and the material are matched, you can plan your downtime. If they aren't, the machine will plan it for you.

Up to is not a promise. The only number that matters is the one your site can repeat.

A Simple Quality Checklist

  • Check the actual machine against the sales order, not the brochure.
  • Ask for the production test report and the conditions behind it.
  • For used machines, require a rotor balance report or jaw wear measurement.
  • Get reference sites with your feed type.
  • Verify current pricing in writing; typical price is not a legal quote.

One last note on search terms. If you landed here by asking what is simparica, this article is for your quarry, not your dog. If you were looking for the groves around Ravensburg, you're in the right part of the map. And if you searched mc110 kleemann or kleemann ravensburg, this is exactly the comparison you needed.
