Using Portable Screening Plants in Forestry
By NGO on Aug 24, 2008 in Business
Portable screening plants work great in many applications – from construction to forestry – as a way to reclaim all available material and recycle what is left over. They can be used to separate excavation spoils, construction and demolition rubble, and clearing and grubbing debris. The purpose of dirt screeners is to remove sand, rock, dirt, as well as other little abrasive contaminants before further processing – such as recycling.
Using a portable screening plant allows for a significant reduction of wear and tear on other pieces of expensive machinery, such as a tub grinder, by allowing for removal of pieces of detritus which could damage it. Powered by a motor which vibrates the screen, the smallest particles drop through, leaving behind larger material which may be recoverable. Used in combination with a loader, the larger screening plants are able to handle larger jobs. Some units also use a rotating drum or a non-hydraulic drive, such as that found on the EZ-Screen 1500 powerhouse. No matter which method is used to move soil through the screen, what is left behind is material which can be reused or recycled, leaving no waste on the jobsite. Particularly in forestry applications, this is a benefit whose importance cannot be overstated.
