Custom Pellet Screener for sacking system
Sometimes there is not a standard Gentle Roll model that will work for a customer. When that happens, we can customize the Gentle Roll to accomodate this problem. In this case, Farmers & Ranchers Coop in Ainsworth, NE had some space issues. The unit pictured, now installed above their new sacking system, is fed from a hopper bottom bin. Then pellets or range cubes are screened in the Gentle Roll. Then the screener discharges the pellets or range cubes from the "overs hopper" into a hopper above the sacker, while the fines are discharged through the hopper under the screeners main screen section. We designed a long feeder inlet to convey the material as well as meter it to the screener so they maximize screening and sacking efficiency. The sideframes were extended to mount on top of the hopper and the motor and drive were mounted on the inlet end of the machine for easy access. Customizations like this are what make the Gentle Roll the most versitile screener available.
Testimonial
Bill Worden, Mill Manager for Farmers & Ranchers, states: "We put our first Gentle Roll in (service) in 1994, it is still working with very little maintenance. We have not replaced the screens, they are still in very good condition. Since 1994 we have added three more to our pelleting and sacking system. They are quiet and smooth running. We are very happy with the quality and service of EBM's product.
