HOP9 adds to RCR’s previous Cloudbreak development of relocatable plants, which operate at 2500t an hour.

The contracts also further support current works for apron and belt feeders that are supplied by RCR for Fortescue’s Eliwana Mine and Rail project.

RCRMT executive general manager Ian Gibbs said: “All of RCR Mining Technologies equipment is designed and manufactured in our South West operations, based in Bunbury and our Welshpool workshops.

“Since the sale to NRW in February, RCR Mining Technologies have been able to secure orders in all the major WA projects reinforcing our status as the market leader in the design and manufacture of Relocatable Plants, Apron Feeders and Belt Feeders, an exciting achievement against a highly regarded multinational supply market”.
