Going Green
To be political correct in today’s world, Green is the word. Whether
you believe in global warming or not, it makes good sense to operate
machinery with low operating cost. You can add dollars (green backs) of
profits to many of your jobs by utilizing Orbit Screens.
Orbital Action screens
are up to the task in many ways. First of course is the low demand for
horse power which reduces fuel
consumption for a unit of production. While Orbital Action in
itself is very efficient while separating particle sizes, all systems
included on the machine are very conservatively designed to provide
maximum operating efficiencies.
Screening operations must begin with getting to the job site, again
only a pickup
is needed, saving a truck tractor and associated overhead. Once on the
site, setup is minimal and quick with onboard leveling plus screen
opening size changed in minutes without wrenches. It’s easy to match
your setup to local work site conditions.
Probably the best cost cutter of all is your ability to place your
Orbital Action Screening Plant near the materials to be screened. Your
loader only needs a few feet of
travel to accomplish your task. While screening, the fines conveyor
will load your truck with select materials ready for delivery to your
best customers. The overs will be deposited close by ready to dispose
of with a loader, smashed with the bucket and re-screened or loaded out
as you wish.
Should you wish to stockpile, it’s easy to build two windrows of
screened materials. The fines are placed directly behind the machine
while the overs are along side. Each time the stockpile builds up to
conveyor height, simply pull the machine ahead a few feet, leaving two
long stockpiles, all without the extra cost of a stacking conveyor.
Additional features focusing on efficiency (Green) include keeping a
low hopper loading height as you can use most any loader in your fleet
without building a ramp. The robust hopper provides a variable speed, continuous flow of materials to the screen dish, easily outperforming the interrupted flow associated with many other screening plant designs.
When the day is done, you can easily tow the machine back to the home
base or a secure area thereby minimizing a potential vandalism problem.
If Green is your goal or Profits are what you are after, Orbital
Actions Screens are ready to work for you.
Brads Blog, “The Finer Cut”, is another of many
planned. Each issue will cover a topic of interest about our machines,
our industry, our customers and more. I look forward to this task and
am excited about the opportunity to broaden our communications with our
customers and industry. I invite you to return and visit from time to
time, cruising back through issues to see what I may have been thinking
of at another time.
I also invite you, our reader to contribute by offering your comments.

Happy screening
