At ConExpo, Rubble Master introduced the North American aggregate market to its next generation RM 90X and RM 100X impact crushers.
Purpose-built for aggregate producers, custom crushing contractors and site developers, the new models deliver more uptime, lower cost per ton, and simplicity for challenging operating conditions.
Based on the proven RM 90GO! — Rubble Master’s longest-running production model — the RM 90X features an 86 cm x 63.5 cm inlet opening and weighs about 20,800 kg.
The RM 100X, with its 96 cm x 71 cm inlet opening and weighs about 35,800 kg, builds on the success of the RM 100GO!.
Advanced assistance systems
The RM 90X and RM 100X compact impact crushers are designed around the RM NEXT philosophy, combining operator-friendly controls, automated machine optimization and a fuel-efficient diesel-electric drive. These features help crews deliver consistent tonnage — even with variable feed, changing specs and tight staffing.
The new ultra-bright 30-cm display delivers a new operating experience and unlocks several new digital features.
A setup advisor helps dial-in machine settings in minutes. Less experienced operators get an initial suggested setup for the application that maximizes production and minimizes wear. As well, the crushers are equipped with step-by-step troubleshooting routines for the most common errors to minimize downtime and keep daily production on schedule.
Advanced service tools help identify issues faster and minimize the number of phone calls required to the service team.
The new human-machine interface features a performance indicator, status lights and radio-controlled operation. The performance indicator helps operators intuitively find the feed rate sweet spot, maximizing production and minimizing wear. The status lights provide clarity about the machine’s condition to the entire crew around the crusher.
“The new digital tools help operators and service technicians maximize uptime, react faster and be more proactive,” said Geoffrey Faber, North American Sales Manager at Rubble Master. “At the end of the day, you have to make the most out of your man-hours and the next philosophy makes that easier than ever.”
RM XSMART app
The RM XSMART app is included with the new interface, which allows operators to connect to the machine on-site to gain more clarity into its performance and condition. With the optional camera system, operators can conveniently monitor critical material transfer points on the machine from their cab to identify material buildup, react quickly and maintain uptime.
Also, optional belt scales come with a heavy-duty tablet that gives operators total control over their belt scale. Zeroing and calibrating the scales doesn’t require you to leave the cab. Recording and sharing job reports also works from the app.
More rotor inertia
Alongside updates to looks and usability, Rubble Master also installed a new heavy-duty rotor featuring a greater variety of hammer options, including new heavy-duty hammers for more uptime. The RM90X delivers 25 per cent more rotor inertia while the RM 100X has 17 per cent more rotor inertia compared to the previous models. This means the new rotor design delivers less rotor speed fluctuations, a more consistent end product and less wear.
The RM release system minimizes the risk of damage without interrupting the production process. While fail-safe systems may cause downtime, the RM release system is a simple and well-proven mechanical system that keeps crushing incident after incident, eliminating reset and downtime.
