As a hybrid variant, RM says the machine can be operated electrically to notch up zero emissions. It adds that the screen delivers impressive modularity and versatility.
“It’s a whole new conception of doing a scalper,” said Gerald Hanisch, founder and CEO of the Austrian-headquartered RM Group. “It is not only electrified, it has all kinds of features – the mobility, the versatility, the simplicity and the energy.”
RM says that both the RM5H50X hybrid screen and the RM J110 jaw crusher – which will make its debut at Conexpo in March 2023 – have incorporated countless ideas and customer requests to redefine the application options of processing equipment.
RM says the use of a hybrid machine brings a 25% reduction in fuel costs compared to a diesel-direct crusher or a hydraulic screen, while combining them into one machine train increases the savings even further.
It adds that, when a diesel-direct crusher drives the new RM hybrid screen, the customer saves up to 33% on fuel. In combination with an RM hybrid crusher, which drives the RM hybrid screen, the savings potential reaches up to 50%.
In addition, if only one engine is running because the crusher is driving the screen, the customer only has to refuel and service one engine, effectively saving fuel, time and money.
Hanisch added: “We have been electrifying our plants for decades, and consequently have the necessary know-how. Now the time is ripe for us to fulfil the needs of customers with our product-ready solutions. The lowest possible fuel consumption and smallest carbon footprint are the order of the day for our customers to be successful.”
