We have previously told how customers have provided valuable information enabling us to make many improvements to the Orbital Action Screening Plants. In large measure, finding that several of our owners were screening aggregates and having a few problems generated one of our most valuable improvement campaigns. My original business plan and machine design criteria focused on screening compost, topsoil, mulch and other products usually not found in the large pits and quarries. For the most part, small vibrating deck screens known as box type were used by the smaller operators supplying landscapers and home owners. I felt aggregates were easy to screen, there were many manufacturers in that market, so why compete in a full arena. What I found was, owners had found the screening methodology we describe as “Orbital Action” actually excelled over the “Box Type Decks” in several important ways. It became very apparent we needed to improve our abilities when screening aggregates. We also found our basic machine design was fine, only we needed to prevent small rocks which bounced around like marbles from finding their way into places where they caused problems. We focused on bringing on reliable belt type conveyors to increase carrying capacity and placing guarding and shielding where there were leaks. Now our screening plants are very good and fast while screening aggregates. We look forward to demonstrating on sites where aggregates are involved as we can usually improve a site operators ability to make a profit and that is part of our “Mission”. Happy screening, Brad Schnittjer Blog # 13 4/27/2009 |
