Cat® C15 Engine

The C15 engine provides a gross power (SAE J1995) of 407 kW (546 hp). The combination of large displacement and high torque allow the RM500B to propel through the toughest materials. The engine meets US EPA Tier 4 Final and EU Stage V emission standards.

Engine Technology

Every Tier 4 Final / Stage V Cat engine is equipped with a combination of proven electronic, fuel, air and aftertreatment components. Applying proven technologies systematically lets us meet our customer's high expectations for productivity, fuel efficiency, reliability and service life.

Reversible Cooling Fan

The cooling fan is reversible and automatically performs periodic cycles in reverse to clean the heat exchanger by expelling accumulated dust. This allows the system to cool more efficiently, ensuring optimal engine performance.

Four Propel Pumps, Four Drive Motors

Four propel pumps provide separate, dedicated flow to all four drive motors. Provides superior tractive effort in soft underfoot conditions.

Load Sensing System

Load sensing system controlled by the ECM, matches propel speed to load on the engine.

Two Speed Ranges

Two speed ranges allow the machine to operate at either maximum torque to propel the machine through the toughest conditions, or a faster speed for moving around the job site.

Ecology Drains

Ecology drains provide an environmental method to drain fluids. They are included on the radiator, engine oil pan, hydraulic and fuel tank.

Quick-connect Hydraulic Test Ports

Quick-connect hydraulic test ports simplify system diagnostics.

Visual Indicators

Visual indicators allow easy check of engine coolant, hydraulic oil level, rotor bearing reservoir and air restriction indicator.

Self-lubricating Rotor Drive Chains

Self-lubricating rotor drive chains in sealed chain cases partially filled with oil.

Maintenance-free Cat Batteries

Maintenance-free Cat batteries are mounted on the side of the machine and are accessible from ground level. Cat batteries are specifically designed for maximum cranking power and protection against vibration.

Machine is Product Link Wire-ready

Machine is Product Link wire-ready. The Cat Product Link System (PLS) ensures maximum uptime and minimum repair costs by simplifying tracking of equipment fleets. Provides automatic machine location and hour updates. Can be obtained through your local Cat dealer.

Hinged Service Doors

Hinged service doors open wide on sides of engine, rotor hood and on top deck for access to power train and rotor drive components.

Hydraulic Rotor Hood Tilt

Hydraulic rotor hood tilt rotates hood forward for convenient access to rotor for inspection and tool maintenance.

Soil Rotor

The Soil rotor is an ideal choice for mixing additives with semi cohesive or granular materials where soil gradation is critical. It can also handle light reclamation applications where the asphalt layer is thin and deteriorated.

Combination Rotor

The Combination rotor is designed for deep-cut soil mixing where pulverization and gradation is of lesser importance and higher working speeds are more important. It performs well in cohesive soils and has a secondary application of surface mining for non-engineered substances such as coal, shale, or limestone.

Universal 18 Rotor

The Universal 18 rotor is designed to provide maximum mixing depth and has lower breakout force compared to the Universal 16 rotor. This rotor meets European 45 cm mixing depth requirements while providing the highest level of material pulverization and gradation. Secondary application of light asphalt reclamation, where the asphalt layer is thin and deteriorated.

Universal 16 Rotor

The Universal 16 rotor is designed to produce maximum breakout force in deep asphalt cuts and on existing soil cement. It also performs well in soil stabilization applications.

Visual Site Gauge

Visual site gauge on rotor hood displays door position and allows the operator to precisely control the opening of the front door.

Forward or Reverse Operation

Forward or reverse operation increases machine versatility in soil stabilization.

Front Door Raises Parallel

The front door raises parallel to the cutting surface to prevent the door from plowing material in harsh soil stabilization conditions.

Dual Hydraulic Cylinders

Dual hydraulic cylinders offer increased lifting force and precise control of the front door.

Hydraulically Operated Front Door

Hydraulically operated front door allows the operator to control the opening of the front door from the operator's station.

Side Access Doors

Side access doors enable quick and simple replacement of cutting tools on rotor ends.

Hydraulically Adjustable Front Door

Hydraulically adjustable front door allows more precise sizing control when operating in the reverse direction.

Hydraulically Adjustable Rear Door

Hydraulically adjustable rear door for optimum control of gradation and material uniformity.

Large Heavy-duty Breaker Bars

Large heavy-duty breaker bars help achieve uniform sizing.

Bi-directional Mixing

Bi-directional mixing capability increases machine efficiency.

Mid-machine Rotor

Mid-machine rotor uses total machine weight to help keep rotor steady in the cut for uniform depth control.

Mixing Chamber

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.

Heavy-duty Shear Disc or Optional Torque Limiter

Heavy-duty shear disc or optional torque limiter protects rotor drive components from torsional stress and shocks loads.

High Capacity

High capacity rotor driveshafts and maintenance-free universal joints.

Three Rotor Speeds

Three rotor speeds for maximum performance in a variety of materials and cutting depths. First speed is used primarily for pulverizing the material. Second and third rotor speeds can be used as blending or mixing passes.

Rugged Drive Chains

Rugged drive chains provide efficient, continuous power to the rotor. Single strand heavy-duty chain resists breakage.

Heavy-duty Gear Reducers

Heavy-duty gear reducers with four planetary carriers provide excellent rotor drive reliability.

Cat Powershift Transmission

A Cat powershift transmission drives the rotor and is sized to handle tough cutting and deep mixing.

Automatic Rotor Depth Control

Automatic rotor depth control provides consistent quality and performance.

Automatic Load Control

Automatic load control adjusts propel speed so that engine speed does not drop below 1900 rpm. Machine always works at peak efficiency for maximum output.

Self-diagnostics

Self-diagnostics provide information for troubleshooting and alerts the operator about potential system problems.

Electronic Control Modules (ECM)

Electronic Control Modules (ECM) receive input signals from sensors in the engine, propel, steering and rotor drive systems which monitor current operating conditions.
