. . . Rock Engineered Machinery Company is
a corporation based in Livermore, California USA. It was
founded by machinery and rock processing professionals
in 1982, and is now a leader in reduction technology and
know-how. REMco manufactures the broadest line of fully
autogenous rock-on-rock VSI crushers for the reduction
of hard, abrasive rocks and ores. Our machines serve the
needs of the construction material, mining and industrial
mineral producers. We also offer rock-on-anvil VSI machines
for limestone and less aggressive materials. The materials
produced by our machines are cubical, well-graded, sound,
mid-range aggregates, specification sands and other fine
sizes.

REMco
The REMco Autogenetic Crushing Process
ROCK-ON-ROCK reduction of all material feeds is
achieved by high velocity energy transfer which commences
as the rock feed enters the feed tube. At this point it is
moving by gravity. When the incoming continuous ribbon
of rock particles passes over the center distribution plate
of the rotor, it is divided into separate multiple streams.
These are forcefully impacted on the trailing edge of the
autogenous waves at the center of the rotor port exit. As
the material begins its path through the rotor, it is being
compressed by the rising centrifugal forces created by the
rotor’s rotation. This multi-layered stream of rock is abraded,
compressed and pulverized against the rock waves which
are formed and held in place by the radial rotor walls. The
unique geometry of the REMco multi-port rotors intensifies
the inter-particle comminution with multiple collisions and
a variety of forces act on the individual rock pieces as they
proceed through the rotor. After the high velocity rock exits
the rotor, with a REMco VSI, you have a choice, SandMax
or RockMax.
SUPERIOR ROCK-ON-ROCK
CRUSHING PERFORMANCE
REMco impact crushers are designed for crushing the
widest range of rocks, ores and minerals into fine cubical
products. REMco crushers with their unique high Typical
performance multi-port rotor designs, variable density
chambers, and the widest operating speed range have SandMax
expanded the application capabilities of VSI crushers. Fine Rotor / Fine Chamber
REMco has advanced VSI crushing technology for rock-on-
rock reduction by performing thousands of crushing tests in
its testing facility. This has resulted in a unique application
accuracy by adjusting the design variables to suit the user’s
specific requirements. This guarantees the right crusher for
the job, eliminating guessing and user disappointment.

SUGGESTED REMco VSI CIRCUIT ARRANGEMENTS A variety of proven circuit arrangements can be made regardless
of the sand specification required for either wet or dry materials.
REMco SandMax crushers will produce a finer discharge
grading than all other VSI crushers. Additionally, control of
the grading curve can be achieved by changing chamber type
and rotor configuration. Different materials will respond to the
variables of the machine in different ways.
Note: It is recommended that all circuits using a REMco VSI be arranged to include protection from
uncrushables by using magnets or metal detectors. Ample size vibrating screens are necessary for optimum
crusher performance. Using a surge preceding the crusher and a variable rate feeder will enhance performance,
maximize production and provide the lowest wear cost per ton. 4

Note 1: The capacities shown in this table are for crushing sound, competent stone having a crushed bulk density of 100 lbs. per cubic foot. Larger, angular feeds will reduce capacity;
finer, cubical feeds will increase capacity. When crushing to produce improved shape, slower speeds may be utilized. This may increase the crusher feed rate and lower the reduction
achieved.
Note 2: Rock feed containing excess amounts of water, clay, soil or dirt will cause reduced crusher performance.
Note 3: This catalog covers REMco VSI crushers that do not use any form of cascade or by-flow around the rotor. For information on dual flow designs, please contact REMco.
Note 4: ST designation is for Swing Top / Standard Top.
Reduction Ratio
For REMco crushers, the reduction ratio is calculated as the
relationship of the maximum feed size to the desired product
size. For example, with a feed of -2” and a product requirement of
-1/4”, the reduction is 2.0 ÷ 0.250 = 8. Maximum recommended
reduction ratios for REMco crushers are, SandMax – 16:1;
RockMax – 8:1. Exceeding the recommended ratio will
interfere with circuit balance and may reduce production.

Note: The capacities shown in these tables are in short tons, 2,000 lbs., and are neither maximum nor minimum. Tonnages shown are based on processing
sound rock, stone, or ore in a well designed processing circuit with proper feed controls and adequate screening. Many factors affect capacity, such as
individual fracture characteristics, type of rotor, size of drive motor(s), feed moisture content, etc. Producing multiple sizes simultaneously will reduce total
net tons of finished product. All capacities are based on 100% screening efficiency.

Due to their great versatility and model range, REMco crushers can be custom configured to the crushing task. The
above graph illustrates the variation that can be expected in the discharge grading from the two different REMco
crusher types when processing the same feed.
REMco cautions prospective crusher users not to depend on typical catalog gradings when seriously considering
their crusher selection. A formal crushing test is strongly recommended prior to final model and type of VSI
selection.

IMPORTANT APPLICATION
INFORMATION AND GUIDELINES
The capacities shown in this catalog are for all models of REMco fully autogenous
VSI (rock-on-rock) crushers only and are neither maximum nor minimum. Tonnages
shown are based on processing material in a well-designed processing circuit with
automated feed controls and adequate screening. Many factors affect capacity, such
as rock hardness, type of rotor used, number of rotor ports, rotor RPM, size of drive
motor(s), feed moisture content, etc. For metric capacities, multiply by factor of 0.9.
The sand capacities shown in this catalog must be adjusted to allow for removal of
all excess minus 100 mesh by wet or dry process. Microfines production is mainly
influenced by the grain structure and crushing characteristics of the rock.
REMco recommends conducting a crushing test prior to applying SandMax/
RockMax crushers, designing a crushing plant or manufactured sand circuit.
Contact REMco for details or visit www.remcovsi.com to schedule such a test.
Water in feed in excess of 3 to 5 % will reduce crusher performance, cause chamber
packing, raise power demand and increase parts wear thereby raising the operating
cost.
Maximum recommended feed size will vary dependent on type, hardness and shape
of rock or ore to be crushed. Larger, angular feeds will reduce capacity; finer, cubical
