It’s hard to gain high performance from any screening plant when it is not well fed. Orbital Action screening plants have very capable feeders with options available to optimize the care and feeding of many different types of materials into the screen dish. In our opinion, one of the first things to look for is how high the lip of the feeder is above the ground level. Building a ramp to get the bucket high enough is not only costly to do, it is inefficient while in use. Extra seconds are used with each loading cycle. After a screening job is complete, time consuming clean up of used ramp material is usually required. Next, is the hopper wide enough and long enough to take the load from the bucket without moving the loader? Also is there enough length to accommodate continuous feeding while the loader is gone to get another load? Following adequate size, is the feeder capable of taking on many different shapes and sizes of materials then delivering them to the screen with minimal problems? Weeds, sticks, sod clumps as well as rocks or asphalt should be easily moved forward at a steady pace and delivered directly into the screening element. Another feature, while not used for many operations is the Grizzly. However, if you need it, we have it. Orbit Screens are pre-assembled with the ability to simply bolt one on, hook up the hydraulics and go to work. And finally the ability to add extensions and a feeding gate tops off the field of available feeder options. If your material is suitable to flow through a large feed gate, optimum screen performance may be achieved. Remember, a small feed gate opening may be prone to exhibit plugging problems. Please watch several of the video clips to see the feeder in action If you are looking at another make of screening plant, please compare their feeding capabilities along side Orbital Action, visualize potential problems and count your unproductive seconds.
