RUSSELL 7-R AUTOMOTION MRM
The world's first semi-automated mill relining machine for relining from outside of the mill.
Available in 4500 kg – 9000 kg capacities.
THE FUTURE IS NOW
Our relentless pursuit to improve safety and productivity has driven us to engineer a future where relining is performed safely from outside the mill – at faster speeds than ever before.
For almost 40 years, RME has led the world in the engineering of fast, reliable, safe technologies and processes for every step on the mill relining path.
Today this integrated ecosystem – the RME Mill Relining System – has evolved to incorporate autonomous mill relining capabilities.
At it’s centre is the ever-reliable RUSSELL 7 MRM – now with an expanded model line-up enabled by a modular, future-proofed platform and roboticised RME AutoMotion optionality.
Supporting it, stands our industry-proven semi-automated THUNDERBOLT Worn Liner Removal Solutions and ingenious INSIDEOUT Technology.
Together, they move operators out of harm’s way and relining off the shutdown critical path.
Best of all, RME’s carefully-staged systems engineering allows Customers to adopt automation progressively to advance their mill relining at their own pace.
With RME by your side, you can maximise and future-proof your operations, all while optimising safety and mill availability.

Lifting capacity up to 8000 kg.
RME BOLTBOSS is an innovative universal toolset that enables safer securing of liners, nuts and bolts from the mill’s exterior without the need for crew to be inside.
“Our goal is to provide the means to reline mills with no-one inside, an environment which allows us to speed up the machines and processes – consistently, repeatably and sustainably – for greater concentrator performance.”
THUNDERBOLT SKYWAY roboticises the operation of THUNDERBOLT Hammers to vastly improve knock-in speed and safety – consistently, repeatably, sustainably.
Give your crews greater, and ergonomically-safer, reach outside the mill. Plus they're field-upgradable to THUNDERBOLT SKYPORT.
Portable and modular, THUNDERBOLT SKYPORT is the lift-in version of the fixed plant THUNDERBOLT SKYWAY, RME's semi-automated knock-in technology.
"RME's approach to mill relining automation prioritises safety at every step. First, we take mature and proven technologies and future-proof them with automated capabilities. Second, we take a systems approach to ensure no new risks are introduced inside and outside the mill. Third, we’ve developed a carefully staged and fully supported implementation program which minimises technical and cultural change risks. Our approach is fast, reliable and ensures the safety of your reline crew."
RME's Founder and Chief Engineer, Dr John Russell, speaks about the company’s pioneering efforts to enable relining from outside the mill and its impact on the future of mineral processing.
