Rockster demonstrates equipment in Connecticut

Equip Sales and Leasing Corp., North Haven, Connecticut, hosted a Live Crushing Demo Day at its sister company Modern Materials Corp. in Hamden, Connecticut, Sept. 30. The company introduced eight different machines manufactured by Rockster Recycler, Ennsdorf, Austria, at the event.

“We have been working together with Rockster since 2009 and have already sold many Rockster units here in the USA and with a sale in Bemuda as well,” Joe Collazo, sales manager at Equip Sales, says. “Our clients come from different areas, with a demo like that we wanted to give contractors an opportunity to find ways to spend what funds they have as effectively as possible. Vendors should be prepared to identify money saving aspects for their products and services. This was the perfect demo for construction companies, landscapers, concrete companies and aggregate recycling and road building companies.”

Rockster shipped eight different units to the demo show, including:

• the R700S impactor;
• the R1000S impactor;
• the R1100DS impactor;
• the RDS410 finishing screen;
• the RSS410 scalping screen;
• the RSS514 scalping screen;
• the RST18 stacker; and
• the RST23 stacker.

All impactors at the demo offer Rockster’s patented closed-circuit system with the removable screen box and the double functional return/stockpile conveyor. These accessories are designed to allow producers to crush material in one pass and gain a consistent grain without further crushing or screening. The finishing and scalping screens are designed to provide a wider range of recycling possibilities or processing options. The company says clients can increase their productivity through much larger stacking capacity by using a Rockster crusher in combination with a stacker.

“We wanted to present a big part of our portfolio so U.S. customers can get in touch with our products,” Wolfgang Kormann, CEO of Rockster, says. “In my opinion, demonstrations and references are the most useful ways to promote products like ours because the customer can really interact with the machine and get to know all features and different applications. The exchange of experience from the different customers is one way more to get trust in our products.”

The first live demonstration of the new Rockster impact crusher R1000S in the U.S. showed the self-monitoring plant that includes refinements, such as a gap adjustment for a simpler grain size adaptation, an integrated measuring system for full machine control and analysis and a two-deck prescreener for a further grain fraction.

The R1000S has an inlet opening of 40 inches by 29 inches and is designed with an output capacity for varying sized material at 300 tons per hour. Basic features on the R1000S include an adjustable bypass chute, vibration feeder with two-deck prescreen, vertically adjustable magnetic separator, remote control with color display, electronic controller with color display, sound proofing, a dust suppression system and crusher overload protection.

The impactor came outfitted with the optional RS100 screen box and the RB92 double-function return/stockpile belt. This whole system weighs 77,000 pounds, is 46 feet in length, 9.3 feet wide and 10.5 feet high.

“I was already very excited to see the new crusher live in action and all of my expectations were exceeded. I like the modern design with the diagonal lines and all the new features with so many extraordinary details,” Daniel Civinski, U.S. Rockster representative, says. 

“By listening to the customers’ requests for more machine control as well as higher operating comfort and safety, Rockster has designed a crusher that combines state of the art technology with long proven Rockster standards like the hydraulic system,” Kormann says. “We are sure that this was the right step and are proud that we could finally demonstrate our new plant to American customers.”
