RM-500 Rotary Mixer Cat® C15 Engine with ACERT™ Technology Gross Power (SAE J1995) 403 kW 2438 mm Rotor Width Rotor Depth (maximum) 508 mm 540 hp 96" 20" Operating Weight (with ROPS, Cab and Universal rotor) 28 145 kg 62,060 lb
Productivity, Serviceability and Comfort in a Durable Package The new RM-500 offers enhanced production capabilities, optimized performance, simplified service and exceptional operator comfort. C15 Engine with ACERT™ Technology ACERT Technology works at the point of combustion to optimize engine performance and provide low exhaust emissions. The C15 engine with ACERT Technology provides clean burning power.
Cab The optional cab increases machine utilization, provides greater year-round comfort and offers reduced interior sound levels. The pressurized cab slides side-to-side and includes a rotating cloth seat, left and right side doors, tinted windows, front and rear windshield wipers, heater/defroster and air conditioning. Sound absorbing floor mat reduces sound and machine vibration transmitted to the operator.
C15 Engine with ACERT™ Technology A combination of innovations working at the point of combustion, ACERT Technology optimizes engine performance while meeting U.S. EPA Tier 3 and European EU Stage IIIa emission regulations for off-road applications. Turbocharged and Air-to-Air Aftercooling (ATAAC) The turbocharged air-to-air aftercooling system provides high horsepower with increased response time while keeping exhaust temperatures low for long hours of continuous operation.
Operator’s Station Ergonomic design emphasizes operator comfort, visibility and easy operation. The platform slides side-to-side to increase versatility and productivity while reducing operator fatigue. Hydraulically assisted sliding platform allows the operator to position the platform to any desired position to provide good visibility to both sides of the machine. Platform can be accessed from either side of the machine.
Cab Option Optional cab can increase machine utilization and provides greater year-round comfort in extreme environment conditions. The cab is fully pressurized and includes air conditioning. Iso-mounted cab is pressurized to keep noise, dust and the elements out and comfort in. Items included with cab are: rotating cloth seat, left and right side lockable doors, tinted glass, air conditioning, heater/defroster, dual front and rear windshield wipers and sound absorbing floor mat.
Electronic Control Modules Reliable field-proven technology makes machine operation simple and self-diagnostics simplifies troubleshooting. Reliable field-proven technology provides maximum productivity and simplifies troubleshooting. Electronic Control Modules (ECM) receives input signals from sensors in the engine, propel, steering and rotor drive systems which monitor current operating conditions.
All-Wheel Drive A separate hydraulic pump provides hydraulic flow to large displacement motors on each rear wheel. The system is designed to propel the machine with full-time all-wheel drive. Dual propel pump system: one pump is dedicated to drive the front wheels, while the second propel pump is dedicated to drive the rear wheels. Increased tractive effort for those tough soil or reclamation jobs.
Mixing Chamber Mixing chamber is a heavy-duty hood with large volume to handle deep mixing. Ensures depth control, proper sizing and thorough blending of reclaimed materials. w e Mixing chamber allows the rotor to move independently so that the capacity of the chamber actually increases in deeper cuts to allow better material mixing. Machine Travel Rotor Movement r q Mid-machine rotor uses total machine weight to help keep rotor steady in the cut for uniform depth control.
Rotor Selection Choice of three rotor designs for different applications and depth specifications. Tools are mounted in drive-in, knock-out holders for quick and easy replacement. Universal Rotor Designed primarily for use in asphalt reclamation. 200 point-attack carbide-tipped tools are mounted in drive-in, knock-out bolt-on tool holders and arranged in a chevron pattern for maximum breakout force. Breakaway design tool holders allow for fast replacement without welding.
Serviceability Less time on maintenance means more time on the job. Hydraulic rotor hood tilt rotates hood forward for convenient access to rotor for inspection and tool maintenance. The one-piece fiberglass hood tilts forward for exceptional access to the engine and cooling package. Daily service points are accessible from ground level and are grouped on one side of the engine. Lower side panels open wide for even greater access.

Propel System Rotor Drive System Steering All-wheel drive is standard to provide full-time four-wheel drive for increased tractive effort. Operates direct through a Caterpillar three-speed, powershift transmission. A hydraulic power-assist, steering system provides four steering modes: front steer only, crab steer, coordinated and rear steer only.

Electrical Frame Tires The 24-volt electrical system consists of two maintenance-free Cat batteries. Electrical wiring is color-coded, numbered, wrapped in vinyl-coated nylon braid and labeled with component identifiers. The starting system provides 1365 cold cranking amps (cca). The system includes a 95-amp alternator. Fabricated from heavy gauge steel plates and structural steel tubing.
