With the TS3600 RUBBLE MASTER, the market leader for mobile Compact Recyclers, launched a high-performance double-deck screen at the end of 2006. The first mobile tracked screen of the successful RM product family was designed as the perfect addition to the high-throughput compact crushers – for top quality and value added with the graded value grain. Having said that, the merits of the TS3600 are being seen more and more as a stand-alone screen.

The TS3600 delivers high-quality defined grain sizes from round grain and separates soil, sand and gravel. The maximum feed size is around 200 mm. Throughput capacity is up to 200 t/h, depending on the material. The uniquely compact double-deck screen weighing only 15.5 tonnes can be transported without any special permits. The two side conveyor belts are simply moved into the transport position for this purpose. This feature means that the TS3600 can be moved from one gravel pit to another just as quickly and easily as from one job site to the next. The mobile screen with crawler gear is ready for action in 10 minutes. The crawler gear is radio-controlled and can be operated by one person – just like all RUBBLE MASTER Compact Recyclers.

Riverbed rock is refined at regular intervals at a gravel pit in Upper Austria. This rock is dug out from a nearby power station in winter to increase its performance and then transported to Neuhofen throughout the year. This is where RUBBLE MASTER plant hire fleet comes in when required, processing the acquired material in a contract crushing operation: The round grain is fed in by a digger and screened down to 3 sizes. The 32/x coarse grain is crushed and used as road bedding. The 16/32 mm medium grain is either sold or used as drainage material at the company`s own dumpsite. The 0/16 mm fine grain is screened again, down to 0/4 mm, 4/8 mm and 8/16 mm for use as cable sand.

The large-area screen box with 2 equally sized decks ensures maximum efficiency. The angle can be adjusted hydraulically, which is extremely useful in critical applications and with very fine material. The exceptionally long discharge belts with likewise hydraulically-adjustable angles enable high material piles. Maintenance accessibility from the ground and rapidly interchangeable screens ensure no time is lost between jobs.

The strengths of the RUBBLE MASTER TS3600 also include the separation of construction debris or excavated soil with high amounts of soil and fine grain and also refining screenable waste building materials and broken brick and concrete. Some 2,500 m3 of excavated material was recently refined to a marketable end product recently in the central part of Upper Austria. The entire material was fed in using a 1.4 m³ digger and screened down to two value grain sizes. The minor portion of 70/x oversize grain contained slag and was disposed of in line with regulations. This meant that it was possible to screen out 0/32 mm graded material from the impure starting material with throughput at 200 t/h, and with the 32/70 medium grain being used for drainage fill.

Alpine operations for the mobile RM crusher/screen team
Thanks to its mobility and performance, the TS3600 also stands out in combination with a RUBBLE MASTER impact crusher. The RUBBLE MASTER Compact Recyclers showed their true agility in the Tyrolean Alps. A combination of mobile impact crusher RM80 and mobile screen TS3600 combination was used for a project, with the machines climbing up the steep 4.5 km access road together to the job site there, some 1,615 m above sea level. The objective was to process 20,000 t of Wildschönauer slate rock for the reservoir of a snow-making facility.

To keep the trips made by the loaders to a minimum, the crusher and screen were set up right next to the reservoir. A 30 t digger fed slate rock (up to 600 mm feed size) into the high-performance RM80 impact crusher. Operating at full capacity the crusher produced approx. 100 t/h of final grain with a grain size of 0/70 mm, keeping 2 loaders constantly busy throughout. The cubic value grain was conveyed direct from the discharge belt of the crusher into the screen box of the TS3600, with the feed hopper folded up. The classification process here produced three final grain sizes, in accordance with the project specifications: 0/8 mm fine grain was used as a compounding layer, and the 08/32 medium grain and the 32/70 coarse grain were used as backfill. This meant that around 1,200 t of finished end grain product was generated on a daily basis for the completion of the reservoir. The operation was successfully completed after 3 weeks, in time for the next destination in Styria, where the machines arrived on a semitrailer lowloader to process limestone to high-value final grain.
