representative Alan Straw notes that the
tracked 516RT combines larger capacities and increased mobility to
provide highly efficient materials processing for numerous industries.
"Enhancements made based on feedback has led the company to
include even more customer focused features to the newest member
of its 516 product line," he explains.
The 516RT boasts a heavy duty chassis with four independent stabi-
liser jack legs, integrated hydraulic folding conveyors and a radial con-
veyor with a 180 degree swing that delivers a 4,13 m stockpile height.
Straw adds: "Powered by a CAT C4.4 100 Hp engine, the 516RT fea-
tures an over sized hydraulic tank and hydraulic oil cooler formaximum
cooling capacity and high efficiency throughout the hydraulic system."
According to Straw, the 516RT trommel boasts a number of features
that place it ahead of competitors in the same category.
"A significantly longer and wider direct feed 5,25 m
3
hopper pro-
vides a large loading area, while a wider feed opening allows for the
free flow of material and high volume capacity. The rubber belting
extends along the length of the machine to reduce blockages, even
when working with wet and sticky materials."
With the 5" x 16" screening surface, Straw reveals that material such
as topsoil, compost, sand, gravel and wood spend more time in the
drum for better results. "The three screen sections allow for flexibility in
sizing tomaximise productivity. For heavy duty applications, a remote
control hydraulic tipping grizzly can be added to scalp off large mate-
rial. Ground adjustable brushes on the 516RT keep the screen clean
and rotate away from the drum for ease of drum change."
As with all McCloskey equipment, the 516RT has an accessible
engine service bay for ease of maintenance and service, thereby saving
time and reducing costs.
"With additional options like a radio remote control for tracks, a
variety of drum and screen combinations, and a hydraulic tipping
grid, the 516RT is a highly productive and highly mobile trommel,"
Straw concludes.
