RM Group unveils next-generation screening technology at Bauma

TYRONE mobile screening equipment maker RM (Rubble Master) Dungannon, part of the RM Group, says it is currently recruiting for a number of positions including welders, engineers and operatives as it continues on a strong growth strategy and upscales production to meet international demand.

It comes as the group unveiled next-generation screening technology at the world's leading construction machinery trade fair Bauma in Germany.

Named the RM H50X, the advanced screening technology was developed in Dungannon. It delivers greater efficiency and electrification, enhanced safety for operators, easier operation, modularisation and better service provided through digitalisation.

A hybrid screener, it’s estimated that the RM H50X can deliver up to 25 per cent savings on fuel in standalone operation and up to 50 per cent savings in combination with a hybrid RM crusher thanks to its technology, which is a first within the industry.

Michael Morrow, operations director at RM Dungannon, said: “We’re proud to see technology developed by our team here in Dungannon making waves across the screening world.

The R&D team, and indeed all of the departments at RM Dungannon, have played a role in the creation of this state-of-the-art technology, which is the talk of the industry and one of the biggest developments in quarrying technology of the past 15 years.”

At Bauma, the RM Group demonstrated how energy efficiency has become a reality on the construction site.

Developed as part of the ‘RM Next’ philosophy, the first H50X model will soon be on its way to an Austrian quarry (RM Group also operates a centre for excellence in Linz).

Gerald Hanisch, founder and chief executive of RM Group, said: “Electrification was part of our strategy from the beginning more than 30 years ago. But with the new generation of hybrid drive systems of our crushers and screens, we have launched a new era in our industry.

“With the RM H50X, we’re setting new standards in efficiency and safety. Fuel saving and reducing carbon emissions are the most pressing concerns for our customers, and with the new technology of the RM H50X, we’re now delivering the solution in mobile screens.”

The RM Group employs more than 350 people worldwide at centres for excellence in Linz (Austria) and Dungannon). It also has sales offices in America, China, Switzerland, UK and Austria. Details of its latest available jobs are at www.rubblemaster.com/en/about-us/careers
