Columbus McKinnon Introduces CM2R Liberator

Columbus McKinnon Corp., based in Sarasota, Fla., has introduced the CM2R Liberator in response to interest in the company’s larger CM4R Liberator. The CM2R is a smaller, more affordable version of the CM4R, according to the company.

The CM2R Liberator is deisgned to allow a user to separate wire from rubber tires, enabling processors to generate revenue streams from both the rubber and the wire.

Operational benefits of the CM2R include increased product yield; multiple opportunities for profit; high production rates; and opportunity for diversification.

The liberator’s serrated knife design provides more cutting surface. The larger screen area also is designed to allow for efficient screening of sized material. These two factors are critical in allowing the CM Liberator to achieve greater production.

The CM Liberator also has incorporated structural designs to reduce the wear and tear of the equipment, according to the company. The product has an “armor-plated” rotor and rotor housing, which reduces wear to internal components. The internal wear surfaces are lined with replaceable wear liners that are easily changed when worn, according to the company. This feature of the CM Liberator eliminates the need for any maintenance welding and results in greater machine uptime, Columbus McKinnon states.

Depending on screen size, the system is capable of processing passenger car and truck tire material at production rates ranging from 2,000 to 10,000 pounds per hour. Columbus McKinnon says the Liberator is capable of producing wire free ground rubber and clean steel to be sold into higher value added markets.
