Roadtec will be offering a new cold re-cycler for use in cold-in-place recycling projects that use the recycling train concept. A recycling train consists of tanker trucks, cold planers, crushing and screening units, mixers, pavers and rollers. The new RT-500 can handle up to 600 tph (tons per hour) of material. The RT-500 cold recycler is designed to crush and screen the RAP pro-ducd by the RX-900 cold planer, and the on-board pugmill mixes emulsion into the recycled material. The RT-500’s JCI brand double deck screen receives the milled material from the RX-900 conveyor. Any oversized material goes through the RT-500’s Telsmith 3048 impact crusher and back to the screen via a two-conveyor return circuit. The conveyors are outfitted with cleated belts for maximum production. A water spray system prevents dust build up on rollers, and the conveyors are covered for safety and to prevent roll-off.
Material that passes the screen drops onto a 48-inch weigh belt. The belt’s electronic scale, accurate to +/- 1 percent, communicates with the blending computer, which in turn adjusts the flow of additives that go into the RT-500’s JCI/KPI Model 52 pugmill mixer. This twin shaft mixer has a capacity of 600 tons per hour. The Roadtec 950 horsepower RX-900 cold planer is the recycling train’s sole source of propulsion. It tows the RT-500 cold recycler and a nurse tank for the emulsions.
