What output setting did you have it on?

What is the cost for a day inc. transport out of interest?

It pays for itself because you now have a huge pile of crushed to feed from whenever you need it!

The stuff by the gates look more like soil to me? ???
We had the output set to 75mm down. We did feed it some rather large lumps of rebar concrete, it dealt with them no problem.

Full kerbs were a walk in the park for the RM60. We had a pecker on another machine nearby ready to knock any large lumps down, but we didn't use it! Dropping the lumps from a great height from the bucket onto others did the trick.

Costs? I didn't have sight of the final ticket, but I *think* it was £450+VAT plus haulage. Cheap if you ask me.

We do a lot of farm work - new entrances into fields etc - planings come in very useful in these scenarios.

No, we don't sneak them into other jobs, that's the job of the stockpile of 803 in the distance.........

The way in which the crusher seperated and spat the metal out was impressive!

The machine only used 6-7 gallons of diesel for it's days work - I was impressed with that - I saw it with my own eyes.

To be honest, I don't know if it would go down that small.

As far as I know, impact crushers are better than jaw or cone crushers for bigger lumps - primary crushing - but not so good if you want finer grades.

The company we work with in Russia specialise in providing 'solutions' - packages of different types of crushing and screening plant - for quarries and contractors and feel that, with large volumes, it's often best to crush in two stages if you want a very fine end product. I would think few small crushers are really useful at 25mm & down.

One of the benefits of a decent sized machine like the RM60 (which I believe is about 12 tonnes) is that - unlike smaller 'mini' crushers - you can have luxuries like the overband magnets. Looking at your pile of wire, the BAVTRAK 025 seems to tend to crush it 'cleaner' but, it can't do that clever separating thing.

Yes - the overband magnet arrangement is a great idea......I've labelled the pic and outlined how it works, for those who haven't seen it in action.

Mine has been out for 4 days in the last 2 weeks but nothing for ages before that, as all the quarys take rubble for nothing or they will collect for nothing its hard work around hear to hire a small crusher MSH :)
