The best-in-class Mobile Pugmill from Rapid
RENATA HJELMSTROM, Group Marketing Manager for the Lincom Group reports on the latest Mobile Pugmill from Rapid.
The Rapidmix 400CW is a complete plant powered by its own power source, with an onboard compressor and 6-cylinder diesel generator. Fitted with a self-erecting system, using hydraulics, the plant can change from travel mode to fully operational within a few hours and features an onboard 40T silo. Available with outputs of 400 or 600 tonnes per hour, it provides feed rates that are fully adjustable for the aggregate, cement, and water systems. The Rapidmix is available in both volumetric and fully weighted models.
The plant produces high quality-controlled mixtures for utilisation in a range of applications, including RCC (Roller Compacted Concrete), CTB (Cement Treated Base), soil stabilisation, soil cement, bentonite, marine dredging, mine backfill and many more. The mobile nature of the plant combined with the technically advanced design is most advantageous in meeting the supply and demand requirements on projects. The touch screen display is operator friendly, records individual truckloads with actual weights of feed, powder and water loaded. The operator can print off batch dockets on the run and provide the total tonnes batched for every job. It also provides a cost-effective solution for on-site projects where high specification compliance coupled with a high-volume fast throughput are essential.
Fully mobile and self-contained, the Rapidmix 400CW units are ADR compliant for the road with certain restrictions. All electrical wiring and guarding conforms with the Australian Standards.
Moreover, its technically advanced design means the Rapidmix 400CW provides a cost-effective solution for deployment on projects where high-specification compliance coupled with a high-volume, fast throughput are critical.
All backed up by the reputation of Lincom Group and its national after-sales support, spare parts, and service coverage. The branch in Victoria is always available when local customers need it the most.
A recent delivery to an Australian-owned civil contracting and bulk haulage business extended their capability to produce a variety of materials in large volumes, all with precision control.
The plant offers a cost-effective solution where high specification compliance coupled with a high-volume, fast throughput are critical. The Rapid 400CW will be mainly used for operations at the quarry but will also be sent out to other sites when necessary – the unit has a national standard for vehicle safety certification making it easy to transport.
The decision to purchase the mobile continuous mixing plant is attributable to the ability to do batch on demand, adjust the feed rates and change the recipe as required. The quarry uses its own hard rock source to produce its mixtures, offering countless advantages in meeting the supply and demand requirements of the local market.
The new plant also offers peace of mind with its user-friendly, touch screen record-keeping system that is automated, precise, and detailed. The quarry is able to monitor all production that was completed in the day, including the formulas throughput.
On the safety side, the pugmill is easy to access for maintenance
and cleaning, being at a ground level eliminates the Working at Height hazard.
To ensure the machine is performing on its peak efficiency every day, after the delivery and commission, Lincom Group’s technicians provided hands-on training on the operation, maintenance, and safety features.
The Rapidmix is already hard at work and has been constantly producing high-quality homogenous material, all with the highest mixing action and maximum output.
Lincom Group joined the CMPA back in 2009 & has been an active member since.
The CMPA has been fundamental in supporting & developing our business with likeminded associates and members though networking events, CMPA workshops and reference documents.
It is reassuring to know the CMPA has our industries best interests at heart to develop and grow with our regulators & communities.
