In July, Barhaul (2003) Ltd. took delivery of a Rubble Master RM80 compact crusher, the first machine of its type in Scotland. The RM80 is a vital piece of equipment to the Barhaul fleet, as the company is under contract with MI-SWACO, the US mining conglomerate, to process the 50,000*t of Baryte produced annually by the nearby Foss Mine. Barhaul is located in Aberfeldy, Perthshire. Patrick Bradley, Managing Director of Barhaul, saw the machine being demonstrated at Hillhead 2007 and realized that the one machine could outperform the existing jaw crusher, impactor crusher and screening unit.
"With rising diesel costs and increasing maintenance and unreliability of the existing equipment, we had either to replace the existing configuration or find a more efficient solution. My only concern was whether the Rubble Master could cope with the density of the material and the volume. It has proved more productive than envisaged, and the mobility of the unit allows us to process the material according to grade, directly into the different bays. With the static machines we had to rehandle from a central crushing area," said Patrick Bradley.
The RM80 has not only proven its capability of handling the material but such is the throughput of the machine that Barhaul have been able to include it in their hire fleet for other work including crushing aggregate, asphalt and building rubble.
The highly efficient magnetic separator ensures that all metal contamination is removed. The RM80 is equipped with an OS80 screen and OS80RFB recirculation unit which eliminates rehandling of the material by loader. Barhaul believe that they are getting a throughput of some 180*t/h. The material, sized to less than 450*mm is fed into the RM80 with a Volvo L120. The 2.5*m3 feed hopper has an opening dimension of 860*x*600*mm. The 23,000*kg machine is powered by a Deutz four-cylinder Tier*3 compliant diesel engine delivering 123*kW at 2,000*rpm.
