Continuing last week’s blog, I again say visiting with our customers on their location has always been a fun experience. All have stories to tell about their machines, most good however some with problems. It is the potential problem area I want to talk about today. Designing a new material handling and processing methodology and introducing it successfully into the market must be, in my opinion, a joint effort between the manufacturer and the user. Products such as Bulldozers, Wheel Loaders, Skid Steer Loaders and Automobiles have had many decades of experience for engineers to use as a basis to build their companies offering. Given that, we still find examples of design short comings or other limitations that affect a machine or automobile owner results. While on many compost production job sites during my years of developing the elevating face compost turner (see history) I found site operators telling me that traditional screening products were coming up short on performance. I took a personal interest in observing and eventually the task of trying to improve product offerings. One advantage I had as a machine designer was my long experience as an operator and a contractor (see history) performing the tasks of building things designed by others. I found after being awarded the bid, I must take available equipment and make it do the job, profitably During my spare time, such as waiting for an airplane or windshield time I would try to envision and sketch out a new machine that would improve screening of difficult materials. It took eight long years to come up with “Orbital Action” as a promising technology. Yet with all of those years of experience, I found I was on the short end of visualizing all of the uses our fine customers would try. I am proud to say that Orbital Action Screening as we now know it has truly been the result of communications and interactions between our many customers and the manufacturer tweaking a basic breakthrough in screening technology into a better machine. Continued next week. Happy screening, Brad Schnittjer Blog # 12 4/20/2009 |
