Rotary Machine Equipment (RME) was established 1990 and initially concentrated on the supply of spares and the repair of existing fans in the mining industry.
During the first few years RME developed a range of centrifugal and axial fan designs to meet a wide variety of performance duties. This fan range now covers all industrial and mining fan applications.
Centrifugal and axial fans
Our fan engineering experience spans over 30 years and our custom fan designs allow us to adapt our fan range to meet any new application and design requirement. Our fan range and innovative custom engineering designs have been successfully tried and tested in numerous and varied applications.
RME has expanded from an initial sales office and now has its own manufacturing facility where all fans are designed and manufactured in-house. From the outset our objective was to provide quality products and service.
