RM 500 B ROTARY MIXER

NEW RM500B ROTARY MIXER TECHNOLOGY DRIVES

MACHINE FEATURES IMPROVED COMFORT, SUPERIOR MIX QUALITY

The new Cat ® RM500B Rotary Mixer features many technology improvements that increase productivity and deliver superior mix quality on your jobsites.

Other RM500B enhancements focus on operator comfort and ease of use. Intuitive, fingertip controls and a climatecontrolled, comfortable cab help keep operators fresh and alert throughout the shift.

Rotor options and a robust propel system also improve productivity while enabling superior mix quality.

Operator Comfort and Control A well-appointed cab provides a quiet, uncluttered work environment. Everything is within easy reach and view, enabling the operator to focus on work and maximize productivity. • The RM500B has excellent visibility, with a sliding cab and rotating seat that provide an unimpeded view of the cutting path on either side of the machine.

• Standard front and rear remote cameras enhance the view, as does an optional remote camera focused on the mixing chamber’s rear door to help the operator assess mix quality.

• The fingertip controls and the control console with LCD touchscreen display make operation easier.

• Backlit buttons on control keys provide easy identification.

• Precise hand-wheel steering enables maneuverability. Power to Perform

Cat engines deliver smooth power with fewer emissions. In the United States, Canada and Europe, the RM500B is equipped with a Cat C15 ACERT™ engine—a turbocharged, 6-cylinder diesel that provides 407 kW (546 hp) of gross power. The engine is designed to meet US EPA Tier 4 Final and EU Stage IV emissions standards. Every Tier 4 Final/Stage IV Cat engine with ACERT Technology is equipped with a combination of proven electronic, fuel, air and after-treatment components.

In regions without emission standards, the RM500B is powered by a Cat C15 ACERT engine, a turbocharged, 6-cylinder diesel that provides 403 kW (540 hp) of gross power. ACERT Technology utilizes an electronic controller to precisely deliver multiple injections of fuel. They are combined with a refined air management system to generate fewer emissions and optimize fuel combustion, while achieving levels equivalent to Tier 3 and Stage IIIA standards.

Cooling System

A robust cooling system provides cool intake air to maximize fuel efficiency and minimize emissions. An on-demand, variable-speed fan draws ambient air from a separate compartment in front of the engine through the cooling package. The exhaust air exits from the front of the machine, maintaining a cool engine compartment.

READY FOR ANY APPLICATION

Three rotor choices, and three rotor speeds, powered by a sturdy drive system provide the means to perform a multitude of applications. The four steering modes and electronically controlled fulltime, all-wheel drive make the RM500B ready to work on virtually any jobsite. Applications include: • Full-depth reclamation • Soil stabilization • Surface mining • Agriculture • Bio-remediation • Haul roads • Aggregate sizing • Raw materials mixing Call us to learn how the RM500B can help make your jobsites more productive.

The cooling fan is reversible and automatically performs periodic reverse cycles to expel accumulated dust and clean the heat exchanger. This helps the system cool more efficiently and ensures that the engine is working optimally. A sensor prevents accidental overheating during a reverse cycle. Easy to Service

RM500B features such as groundlevel access to maintenance items help keep costs low and ensure that maintenance schedules are followed. New technology with a user-friendly interface makes the advanced systems even easier for operators to understand and utilize. • Visual indicators help monitor fuel, water, hydraulic oil and coolant levels.

• Ground-level access makes it easy to reach the engine oil dipstick, engine oil filter and S•O•S SM oil sampling ports.

• An LCD touchscreen includes an air-restriction indicator that alerts the operator to performance issues.

• Large doors and removable panels provide unrestricted access to critical components.

• A reversing cooling fan ejects dust from the cooling package to maintain optimum system performance.

• Cat batteries require no maintenance.

• Oil sampling and pressure testing ports reduce risk of spillage and contamination.

• Grouped drain ports simplify drainage and reduce spillage.

• Optional Product Link™ maximizes fleet tracking and maintenance.

• A storage bin holds a supply of replacement bits. Enhanced Propel System

Standard electronically controlled all-wheel drive and four steering modes maximize traction and mobility even in poor underfoot conditions. The four steering modes—Front Steer, Rear Steer, Crab Steer and Coordinated Steer—provide the ability to change the steering characteristics for excellent maneuverability.

The RM500B is hydrostatically driven and features four independent pumps and drive motors that provide a dedicated flow to each wheel motor. Sensors adjust hydraulic flow to balance traction, reduce wheel spin and ensure productivity in even the most extreme conditions.

Propel is controlled with an electronic joystick on the operator’s console. Six thumb buttons enable the operator to conveniently adjust the rear chamber door trim, adjust the rotor depth, and establish a rotor depth set-point.
