Brace of Volvos for RBMR
Raymond Brown Minerals & Recycling Ltd take delivery of two new loading shovels from Volvo CE
RAYMOND Brown Minerals & Recycling Ltd, part of the Raymond Brown Group, have taken delivery of two Volvo loading shovels for new initiatives being undertaken at their facilities in Nursling and Romsey, Hampshire.
Continuing a long tradition of operating Volvo equipment, the new L60F and L90F have joined an existing fleet of 12 Volvo loading shovels and excavators and, according to director Mark Isaac, were chosen thanks to the reliability of the product, sound residual values and high availability of after-market support provided by Volvo Construction Equipment.
‘We’ve been associated with Volvo equipment for more than 25 years,’ he said. ‘In our opinion, the quality of build and overall performance coupled with excellent residual values are the reasons why we choose Volvo.’
The smaller L60F was selected to take charge of a new acquisition for Raymond Brown Minerals & Recycling, located at Casbrook Park on the outskirts of Romsey. The operation consists of a medium-sized transfer and recycling station with an associated skip hire operation.
The site handles local commercial and demolition waste and the company has plans to install a bespoke mechanical sorting plant in the near future. The L60F has been fitted with 20.5x25 SG Revolutions solid wheel and tyre assemblies, a Groeneveld automatic greasing system, reversible fan, dust buster and a 2 cubic metre rehandling bucket. A fork frame and tines has also been provided and is easily interchangeable thanks to the Volvo quick attachment bracket.
At the company’s Lee Lane quarry site, at Nursling, the new L90F has been deployed around the site handling incoming material for recycling and loading out crushed recycled aggregate.
Its arrival also coincides with a new concrete batching venture undertaken by Raymond Brown Minerals & Recycling that started up in December. ‘We needed the versatility of the L90F to be able to load out both our own fleet of road-going tippers and high-sided bulkers and to be able to work easily in the product bays as well as feed the new volumetric mixer,’ explained Mark Isaac.
The new batching plant produces concrete and screed for the local market and specializes in producing retaining wall blocks. To provided maximum flexibility, the L90F has been supplied with a standard 2.7 cubic metre rehandling bucket and a heavy duty Ulrich 1.8 cubic metre hi-tip bucket designed to handle material densities up to 1.8 tonnes per cubic metre.
As with the L60F, the L90F also benefits from the addition of a reversible fan, dust buster, automatic greasing and a Prolec weighing system.
