HALLCO LIVE FLOORS Hallco Live Floor systems are used for the self-loading and unloading of all forms of woody biomass, demolition debris, tree trimmings, mill residues, and green wastes. Hallco Industries can supply any number of its drive units and deck styles to fit any trailer specifications. www.hallcoind.com, [email protected] CLARKE’S FLO-MATIC STORAGE BINS The Clarke’s Industries’ Flo- Matic storage bin provides for an economical means of storage and metering of waste wood products. Material enters through the top of the bin and is distributed full length via a mechanical conveyor. The Flo- Matic bin has reinforced nega- tive sloped steel wall panels that are smooth on the inside. The discharge system from the bin uses a heavy- duty auger that is forced into the material pile by a traverse mechanism drive. As the auger turns, it discharges a controlled flow of material out one side of the bin onto an accumulation conveyor, which transports the material outside of the bin. www.clarkes-ind.com, 1-541-343-3395 BRUKS CONVEYOR REDESIGNED PROCESS BARRON RECLAIMERS ProcessBarron has been manufac- turing and installing rugged, reli- able biomass reclaimers through- out North America for over 20 years. From underpile drag chain reclaimers, circular screw reclaim- ers, and travelling screw reclaim- ers to fixed or radial stack-out conveyors, ProcessBarron does it all. Reclaimers vary in fuel storage capability, but ProcessBarron will custom design a system to match power production needs and budget constraints. Reclaimers are coated with special abrasion materials to protect them from ero- sion, with shafts, bearings, and drive components engineered to handle the forces and stress of biomass. Motion sensors and plugged chute monitors also are avail- able to provide reliable operation. www.processbarron.com ALLIED BLOWER Allied Blower & Sheet Metal Ltd. is a turnkey systems expert with over 35 years of design, fabrication, installa- tion, and service expertise in conveying, handling, and storage equipment. Allied worked on the first North American high-moisture waste- Bruks has redesigned the head pulley unit on the popular Tubulator air-supported belt conveyor to include provisions for a snub pulley, an integrated gravity take-up pulley, and an extended discharge chute with a scraper conveyor to control fugitive dust and debris inside the enclosure. In combination with industry-standard belt scrapers, the Bruks Tubulator head pulley remains clean. This new unit has been incorporated into several installations. A cushion of air supports the belt down the length of the conveyor, which has no idlers. Small fans provide air pressure to suspend the belt inside a tube. www.bruks.com, Desmond Smith: 1-360-348-2220 or [email protected] DOPPSTADT DUS CONVEYORS/SORTERS Doppstadt DUS waste wood/fibre convey- ors and sorters are available with electric or diesel hydraulic drives and have inte- grated SM start/stop controls.
