[. . . ] RM500 Rotary Mixer ® Cat® C15 Engine with ACERTTM Technology Gross Power (SAE J1995) at 2000 rpm Net Power (ISO 9249) at 2000 rpm Rotor Width Rotor Depth (maximum) 403 kW/548 hp 403 kW/548 hp 2438 mm 508 mm Operating Weight (with ROPS and cab) with universal rotor with combination rotor 28 410 kg 27 150 kg Productivity, Serviceability and Comfort in a Durable Package The new RM500 offers enhanced production capabilities, optimized performance, simplified service and exceptional operator comfort. C15 Engine with ACERTTM Technology ACERTTM Technology works at the point of combustion to optimize engine performance and provide low exhaust emissions. Electronically controlled on-demand variable speed cooling fan provides the lowest overall noise levels and high ambient operation capability. Isolated operator's station with heavy-duty rubber mounts reduce machine vibration transmitted to the operator. [. . . ] The following features further enhance operator comfort; 1 Heating/air conditioning controls 8 1 4 2 Left and right access doors 3 Rotating cloth seat 4 Sound absorbing headliner 5 Tinted glass 9 6 Windshield wipers 7 Cushioned floor mat 8 Dual front mounted speakers 9 Radio-ready mount 10 Heavy-duty isolation mounts 6 5 2 3 10 7 6 Electronic Control Modules Reliable field-proven technology makes machine operation simple and self-diagnostics simplifies troubleshooting. Input signals from sensors in the engine, propel, steering and rotor drive systems monitor current operating conditions. Provides information for troubleshooting and alerts the operator of potential system problems. The load control system automatically adjusts propel speed so that engine speed does not drop below 1900 rpm. The dual propel pumps provide separate balanced flow to the front and rear dual displacement drive motors. The Electronically Controlled Module (ECM) matches propel speed to the load on rotor. The machine operates at either maximum torque to propel the machine through the toughest conditions or a faster speed for moving around the job site. The propel lever and speed dial control infinitely variable machine speed. Equal hydraulic oil flow to each drive motor increases tractive effort in slippery conditions. 8 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 Caterpillar C15 Engine Electronic Control Modules Front Wheel Propel Pump Front Flow Divider Control Valve 5 Front Wheel Drive Motor 6 Rear Wheel Propel Pump 7 Rear Flow Divider Control Valve 8 Rear Wheel Drive Motor 7 All-Wheel-Drive A separate hydraulic pump provides hydraulic flow to large displacement motors on each wheel. One pump is dedicated to drive the front wheels, while the second propel pump is dedicated to drive the rear wheels. High torque large displacement motors on rear wheels makes this a true four-wheel drive machine. Tyres with an aggressive tread and large footprint propels the machine easily in the most severe applications. A Caterpillar powershift transmission provides three rotor speeds for maximum performance in a variety of materials and cutting depths. A Cat powershift transmission drives the rotor and is sized to handle tough cutting and deep mixing. Three rotor speed selection provides maximum performance in a variety of materials and cutting depths. Second and third rotor speeds can be used as blending or mixing passes. 3 1 2 4 5 6 1 Caterpillar C15 Engine 2 Transmission 3 Axle 4 Rotor 5 Rotor Drive Chains 6 Shear Disc 8 Mixing Chamber Mixing chamber is a heavy-duty hood with large volume to handle deep mixing. The mixing chamber allows the rotor to move independently so that the capacity of the chamber actually increases in deeper cuts to allow better material mixing. Total machine weight on rotor helps keep rotor steady in the cut for uniform depth control. Allows more precise sizing control when operating in the reverse direction. Side access doors enable quick and simple replacement of cutting tools on rotor ends. [. . . ] Features Two double-acting steering cylinders control the front wheels and are powered by a pressure-compensated, piston-type pump. switch on operator's side console provides rear wheel steering mode. Steering Modes Front steer only ­ controlled by a hand metering unit, maintained by closed-loop control. The ECM automatically aligns rear wheels to the center position for straight tracking. [. . . ]
