What is the difference between a diesel electric and diesel hydraulic configuration?
Diesel electric configuration refers to how the majority of a compact recycler’s components are powered. A Rubble Master Compact Recycler’s primary components are primarily electrically powered. These include the vibratory feeder; the Conveyor drives and control system are power by the generator powered by the diesel power pack. Nearly all other manufactures utilize a hydraulically powered vibratory feeder and conveyors, while many manufacturers even power the crusher drive hydraulically. A typical Diesel hydraulic configuration can have as much as 400% the fuel consumption of an RM series crusher while producing nearly the same tonnage of finished product. Rubble Master’s diesel electric design allows the operator to remotely track the RM80 and RM100 Compact Recyclers while it is crushing, increasing productivity.
