Rotochopper’s Screener Conveyor: Leading the Way in Screening Innovation
Industries and Applications
In today’s competitive market, companies in the wood processing and landscaping industries are continually looking for ways to improve efficiency and lower operational costs. The Rotochopper Screener Conveyor system is one innovative alternative that has been gaining popularity. This adaptable piece of equipment is changing the way businesses handle wood screening and coloring processes, with significant advantages in terms of productivity, cost-effectiveness, and environmental impact.
What is a Rotochopper Screener Conveyor?
The Rotochopper Screener Conveyor is primarily built for the wood sector, with applications including wood waste processing, mulch production, and biomass fuel preparation.
How it operates: A lat conveyor carries the material over five screens with a screen hole size option up to ¾”. The larger “overs” material will continue on the main conveyor to the next phase in processing while the smaller pieces or “fines” fall through holes in the screens onto a belt that takes the material to a separate fines conveyor.
By separating the “overs” and “fines”, you minimize the use of additional handling equipment. Because the screener conveyor specializes in wood screening, you may focus your trommel screen or deck screener on compost, putting less stress on the other screeners and increasing their longevity.
Highlights of the Rotochopper Screener Conveyor
The Rotochopper Screener Conveyor delivers outstanding efficiency and versatility. It allows you to make a second marketable product from the same material by seamlessly creating two different products in one pass. It reduces colorant usage by efficiently separating fines from the overs, guaranteeing a cleaner, more uniform final product. This improves overall operational efficiency while reducing handling and the need for additional equipment. It greatly increases efficiency with a 350 yard per hour processing capacity, which makes it an invaluable tool for wood processing or landscaping operations.
Furthermore, the Screener Conveyor requires less maintenance than traditional screening systems, and it allows for quick and easy screen replacements, reducing downtime. An optional cross belt magnet can enhance material integrity by eliminating metal impurities.
Benefits of The Rotochopper Screener Conveyor
Designed to lower operating costs and boost efficiency, the Rotochopper Screener Conveyor offers significant advantages. This equipment seamlessly integrates with your grinder or feed hopper, reducing the need for additional material handling equipment. While a diesel trommel screen with a 175-225 horsepower engine costs around $24 per hour to operate, the Screener Conveyor operates at just $3.50 per hour with a 40-50 horsepower electric motor. It matches the output of larger equipment like deck screeners and trommel screens, delivering top-tier performance with greater efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
Customer Story: Gro-Well’s Success
Gro-Well, a Phoenix-based company known for their offering of natural and organic products, is a perfect example of how the Rotochopper Screener Conveyor has transformed its operations. Gro-Well eliminated the need for a diesel screener by working with our engineering team to create a multi-stage system including a horizontal grinder and Screener Conveyor. By converting to an electric screening system, they have considerably increased productivity while reducing their environmental impact. The new Screener Conveyor feeds the screened material directly into their coloring system, streamlining processes and increasing efficiency.
Conclusion
The Rotochopper Screener Conveyor marks a significant advancement in wood processing technology. By combining screening and conveying operations into a single process, it enables organizations to streamline processes, cut costs, and enhance product quality. As Gro-Well discovered, this unique method has the potential to alter wood processing and coloring operations, resulting in enhanced productivity and profitability. For businesses in the wood processing, landscaping, or related industries looking to optimize their operations, the Rotochopper Screener Conveyor is an appealing solution that not only addresses current operational challenges but also positions companies for future growth and sustainability in an increasingly competitive market.
