BELT TRACKER CONTINUOUSLY ADJUSTS REVERSING CONVEYORS
A new powered conveyor belt tracker from Martin Engineering delivers immediate and continuous precision adjustment of hardto- track reversing conveyors, helping operators reduce spillage and extend the life of belts and other system components. Able to effectively center the belt regardless of the travel direction, the robust unit has demonstrated greater durability and longer service life than previous designs, translating to a reduced cost of ownership. Versatile enough to run on 110V / 220V power or a plant’s existing compressed air, the Martin Tracker Reversing can even be specified with the company’s unique Roll Gen System, which uses the kinetic energy of the moving belt to produce a supply of electricity sufficient to power sensors, scales, lights and other devices when no power is readily available. www.martin-eng.com
COLORIZER INCREASES THROUGHPUT CAPACITY
Rotochopper has launched its Generation 2 Colorizer. The Generation 2 Colorizer builds on the success of the original Rotochopper patent by increasing throughput capacity without sacrificing single-pass coverage. The original colorizer patent gives Rotochopper grinders the exclusive advantage of injecting colorant directly in the grinding chamber, using the force of the grinding process to evenly coat all mulch particles. The Generation 2 patent enhances this unique color application method by adding a secondary colorant atomization system directly behind the grinding chamber screen. The secondary spray manifold applies colorant to mulch particles while they are spaced apart and travelling at high speed, ensuring even coverage. In addition to increased production capacity, the Generation 2 Colorizer provides unparalleled monitoring and control capabilities to deliver consistent mulch quality with minimized operating costs. The Generation 2 Colorizer allows high-volume mulch producers to monitor and fine tune all critical parameters, including colorant usage (by volume and weight), water, throughput, engine or motor load, and infeed speeds. www.rotochopper.com
STATIONARY ELECTRIC CHIPPER PRODUCES LOW BARK CONTENT CHIPS
Peterson Pacific has announced the all-new Peterson 5050H stationary electric chipper. The stationary, electric Peterson 5050H Delimber Debarker Disc Chipper produces high quality low bark content chips for wood pulp and pellets, processing whole trees in one continuous operation. Equipped with a large feed throat, the 5050H can accept up to a 23-inch (56-cm) diameter single tree or multiple smaller stems. The 5050H can be configured with a three or four pocket disc, with several optional sheave sizes to make precisely the chip you need. Chipping production rates up to 150 tons (136 tonnes) per hour can be achieved depending on chip size and wood characteristics. Peterson’s heavy-duty 66-inch diameter, 4 3/4 inch thick (168 x12-cm) chipper disc has replaceable 1/2-inch (13-mm) wear plates. The stationary 5050H can be configured from 600 to 1000 hp (447–745 kW) at the disc depending on the needs of your application. An additional 600 hp (447 kW) electric motor powers the needs of the hydraulic system. www.petersoncorp.com
