Screening attachment solves soil, bark and wet clay problem
Problem: For Timberline Tree Service in Burlingame, California, a powerscreen could not effectively break down wet clay at its facility. Initially, company officials were looking for a machine to screen soil and bark. Once Tyler Willett, president of Timberline Tree Service, discovered MB Crusher America’s screening attachment at World of Concrete 2016, he set out to ask questions about this product and how it could help him manage his material. Speaking with MB Crusher America area manager, Chris Ballengee, about his current dilemma with soil and bark, Willett also mentioned a common problem at his company: working with wet clay chunks created by rain.
Solution: Ballengee explained a process that could help break down the clay chunks by placing large rocks into an MB Crusher America screening attachment. The large rocks would allow the wet clay to be screened through the screening panels. This was enough for Willett to purchase the MB-S18 screening model with 2-inch screening panels. The unit is a large trommel screening attachment designed for excavators weighing between 44,000 and 77,200 pounds. It is built to manage on-site processing and recycling without the need to transport material to a third-party processing facility.
Result: A year after Timberline Tree Service’s initial purchase, the company has added another MB Crusher America screening attachment to its lineup to further increase its production. 855-622-7874; www.mbamerica.com
