Sustainability Features

Rotary Mixers

RM300 and RM500B: The RM300 and the RM500B combine superior per- formance and reliability to achieve the most demanding job specifications while maximizing machine uptime. With many enhanced features and options, the RM300 and the RM500B are designed to work well in both full depth reclamation and soil stabilization applications. ● Long-lasting lubricants and fluids extend maintenance intervals, decreasing the amount of waste and filters contributed to environment. ● Ecology drains provide a simple means to drainmachine fluids with a minimized risk of spillage. ● Maintenance free Cat batteries are recyclable. ● Cat ACERT engines meet applicable emission standards. ● Rotary Mixers recycle the materials into aggregate on site. That reduces overall fuel consumption and engine emissions. ● Rotary Mixers and the reclamation process can elimi- nate the need for an excavator and motor grader at most job sites. ● Rotary Mixers can reclaim and stabilize simultane- ously. If stabilization is required, the agent can be placed on top of the reclamation project. The Rotary Mixer then makes a single pass, mixing the stabilizer with the material beneath the surface. At the same time, it reduces the aggregate to its original size. All this is accomplished with one machine — in one pass. ● The reclamation and stabilization process can easily incorporate environmentally sensitive sealants. Now the life of the road bases can be extended without fear of harming wildlife. Rotary Mixers Sustainability:

● The reclamation process usually is quicker than full replacement, allowing roads to open sooner. This means fewer traffic jams — a quality of life issue as well. ● Reclamation and stabilization dramatically extend the life of roads. Some contractors conservatively estimate that a reclaimed/stabilized base will help a recycled road last 30 to 40 years. Extending that life is an enor- mous cost-saver, and also results in the use of less energy. RM300 Features: ● Maximum Production … from Cat ACERT engines. ● Highly Efficien t … load-sensing propel system helps prevent overloading while allowing continuous work near rated horsepower. ● Extremely Versatile … interchangeable rotors provide both reclamation and stabilization capabilities. ● Consistent Blending … automatic depth control, mid- mounted mixing chamber and multi-speed rotor drive combine for optimumblending and increased production. RM500B Features: ● Maximum Production … from Cat ACERT engines. ● Highly Maneuverable … separate hydraulic pump provides hydraulic flow to large displacement motors on each rear wheel. ● Versatility … choice of three rotors for full depth reclamation or soil stabilization. ● Reliability … field proven Cat components maximize machine availability. ● Standard all-wheel drive with advanced traction control system for maximum traction. ● Rotating operator’s station with handwheel steering and integrated touchscreen display provides operator with fingertip control, high visibility and exceptional comfort.
