Yesterday, we were pleased to welcome the Honourable Stephen Dawson MLC, the Honourable Don Punch MLA and Parliamentary Secretary Jodie Hanns MLA to our Bunbury facility, alongside South Regional TAFE Managing Director Blair Marsh, South West Development Commission CEO Cate Brooks, and representatives from industry, government and local media.

The visit provided an opportunity to share progress on our new Advanced Manufacturing Training Hub and mark the launch of the latest round of Regional Economic Development (RED) Grants.

Guests also witnessed a demonstration of our relocatable cobot, which automates welding tasks and supports scalable manufacturing operations.

Earlier this year, RCR was awarded a RED Grant for the facility, which will enable up to 70 apprentices and pre-apprentices from South Regional TAFE to train at the hub from next year.

Applications for the latest round of RED Grants are now open. Learn more: https://www.dpird.wa.gov.au/REDs

The RCR team has successfully delivered a custom solution for an iron ore operation in Pannawonica, converting a previously used Hybrid Feeder into RCR’s patented Sealed Pan Feeder. The conversion provides the customer with benefits including simplified maintenance and greater operational flexibility to support changing site demands.

Delivered as a full OEM build, the project was completed with 4,572 injury-free manhours and was finished on schedule and within budget. The RCR team then carried out the onsite installation during the customer’s planned shutdown, ensuring a seamless transition to the upgraded equipment.

As the first Feeder conversion project completed for this customer, it reflects the confidence and trust placed in RCR’s products, expertise, and innovative solutions.

The RCR team has been hard at work, successfully delivering a number of key mining projects for clients across Australia.

Among these was the completion of a primary crusher Apron Feeder and two coarse ore stockpile Feeders, all featuring electromechanical drive systems. These units are now enroute to a copper mine in North Queensland.

In addition, the team delivered a ROM bin Apron Feeder and a surge bin Apron Feeder, each equipped with hydraulic power units and dual drive systems, for an iron ore operation in the western Pilbara region.

These successful outcomes reflect the strong collaboration between our clients and our Engineering, Project Management, and Manufacturing teams - ensuring every unit was delivered safely and on schedule.
