The option provides both a discharge conveyor and a thrower.
The new discharge conveyor option for Beast machines allows operators to load both open top and end-loading trailers. The 30-foot (9 m) conveyor acts like a standard discharge on the Beast by providing a tall platform to pile mulch, chips, or other products or load them into open-top trucks. With the thrower, operators can easily broadcast the biomass across a job site or load open-end trailers. The switch from discharge conveyor to the thrower takes less than a minute.
The discharge conveyor is a two-section discharge. When the thrower is operated, the end section of the discharge folds up over the top of the first conveyor and out of the way. The thrower is then hydraulically tilted into position. When the thrower is in place, material is top-loaded into the thrower and discharged at high velocity. When in use, the thrower is adjustable up-and-down, and can swivel side-to-side to direct the flow of material to fully load chip trailers.
In other news, Bandit Industries indicated that they completed their fourth plant expansion in nine months to keep up with increasing demand. All the plant expansions add space for additional employees and increasing production at the company’s Mid-Michigan facility. The four expansions have allowed Bandit to add 80 full-time employees and improve production to reduce product lead times.
