RUBBLE MASTER RM80 goes `down under`
ADELAIDE / AUSTRALIA. After several RUBBLE MASTER RM60 have been working in Australia for years, now the time has come for the powerful Compact-Recycler RM80 and the smart RM70. The new RUBBLE MASTER dealer for Australia and Asia/Pacific Wieland Process Equipment Pty Ltd from Liverpool are facing a great deal of interest in the mobile crushing facilities RUBBLE MASTER equipment offers. So David Bannister from Wieland approaches potential customers in both, the recycling and quarry industries. Probably one of the largest of the small demolition companies in Adelaide is the All State Group Pty Ltd. A company coming up quite quickly as their management is able to think ‘outside the square’. They have just recently bought the very first RUBBLE MASTER RM80 and deployed the mobile and powerful but compact impact crusher to its first job.
The RM80 was commissioned on a small site where two cottages had been demolished. So this relatively small job consisting of about 600 tonnes was finished within a matter of days including the getting used to the machine. After a minor adjustment to the impactor setting a minus 20 mm product was produced and used in the development as a base course for a new road.
All State Group Pty Ltd have purchased the first RM80 in Australia, equipped with the patented oversize grain separator OS80 plus return conveyor. They are demolition contractors in Adelaide, having made all their crushing and screening equipment purchases through David Bannister at Wielands. All State had a fixed crushing installation and were starting to get “aggravation” from the local environment control department. They decided to go mobile but needed a machine that was easily transported and versatile enough to cope with demolition crushing through to straight quarry crushing. The deal was finally struck in an Adelaide café over lunch with Stan Kapoulitsas, All State’s managing director and David Bannister from Wielands. Stan was happy to proceed after David had visited Rubble Masters’ factory in Linz / Austria and seen the RM80 in the field there. Stan’s main requirements for the crusher were that he could produce a saleable product with one machine from his demolition rubble - in this case a minus 20 mm material. The crusher also had to be readily transportable on the companies existing float. This was achieved with the compact RM80 weighing in at 23 tonnes. Around Adelaide and South Australia Stan can transport the RM80 anywhere he likes without obtaining a permit.
Another essential demand especially for marketing new equipment in this country is that the technical and spare parts backup has to be in place from day 1. This is what Wieland provides, very much in accordance with the quality policy of the manufacturer, as backing up the equipment working in the field by regular visits and availability of wear and spare parts is the key factor for success. RUBBLE MASTER have invented their “AWCM – Active Wear Cost Programme” two years ago, where feedback from the operators is being analyzed by a team of RUBBLE MASTER service experts to optimise costs in operation. The outcome may either be a specific configuration package according to the application or the use of special wear parts such as advanced wear plates and special hammers with ceramic. Or the results may be forwarded to the RUBBLE MASTER design team as their next design project.
Thus the patented mobile oversize grain separator OS80 was invented – as the tool to save wear costs when crushing concrete or asphalt to a defined value grain. By putting the OS80 on top of the main discharge belt – within 5 minutes using quick release levers – the crusher can be operated at maximum rotor speed and with a wider gap. This means increase in throughput and less wear. And the final grain is reliably separated at the end by means of 3 finger screen cascades. All material too big being re-fed into the vibrating feeder of the crusher by the return conveyor. So the RM80 with OS80 is the most efficient solution for defined value grain as needed for road building in a single process in a one person operation thanks to automatic control.
With profitable solutions for on-site recycling Wieland - founded in the late 1980’s and having an excellent reputation particularly in the Quarrying and Recycling industries throughout Australia - see an extremely bright future for RUBBLE MASTER. Failure-safe machines thanks to the proven series standard make sound business sense. The one person operation thanks to automatic control is a remarkable cost benefit. An optimised feeding cycle, pre-screening, hydraulic crusher gap adjustment, release system that removes blockages swiftly and low fuel consumption are additional performance-enhancing bonuses of the RUBBLE MASTER impact crushers that are proven many hundred times throughout the world. “RUBBLE MASTER Compact-Recyclers will fill a niche in the market out here in Australia”, as David Bannister puts it.
