Addition to CDE RotoMax Logwasher range

The RX80 has been added to the range of CDE RotoMax Logwasher for application in the construction materials and mining sectors. The new model has a capacity of 80 t/h and can be applied in the processing of a variety of materials such as sand and gravel, crushed rock, construction and demolition waste material as well as a range of mineral ores. The RX80 has been introduced following the launch of the RX150 model in September 2010 and is designed for the processing of material containing high levels of plastic clays which need to be broken down and removed from a feed material.

The RX80 has 118 high cast chrome paddles mounted in a spiral arrangement on dual shafts (Fig.). The specification of the paddles offers superior wear resistance with a processing life in excess of 100 000 hours while the spiral arrangement of the paddles has the advantage of reducing intermittent shock loading and reducing the power requirement for the RotoMax. The RotoMax range also includes a hydraulic clutch as standard to allow for start up under full load while the fitting of a temperature sensor affords additional protection to the bearings at the rear of the RotoMax.
