Well clearly the answer here is you have to send this grinder back, buy the bigger 95DK for more fun and then tell rotochopper you need to demo a tub grinder for the stumps 😂
Maybe it's a combination of things like turning up the HP or some settings adjustments. I would give the sales representative a call and tell him what you're trying to shred and maybe he has some suggestions 😊
Ryan i don't think you can run your business without this machine, it is mind blowing what it will eat 😂, as well we get extra YT video's while you demo this rig TKU can't get enough of your content 💪👍
Mr. Digg, you have got some the best toys available! I love your videos. Your excitement is genuine and as my dad used to say, “If you do something you love, you’ll never work a day in your life.” I hope you all buy shredder, she’d fit perfect into your operations.
I've seen operators load the hopper full, the weight helps it feed. When a gas pipeline went through the porperty they have a shredder/chopper made by Vemeere, they spread the chips as they went and planted grass.
Continues t impress me Ryan makes easy work on the pallets so many variables this machine would be suitable for looking forward to c&d landfill test day 💪💪💪🍻🍻🍻
New to the channel thru Dirt Perfect luv what I'm seeing people and towns need more people like you do you have a junk yard metal magnet to haul nails,spikes from grinder to recycle the metall
Ryan you guys have got to keep that machine, the amount of savings in the long run would be astronomically huge, saving on space now I stead of later is gonna be huge, it's worth it to invest in it now, thanks for sharing, that was awesome to see 🇺🇲💪🤙👍✊
You've got a lot of high dollar machinery to keep running . Some days go great and some days you can't win for losing . Keep your head up and rock on bro .
A quick read of the brochure suggests there's three rotor options - coarse wood, fine wood, and MSW/C&D which I think is what you have now. Given you're doing pretty much all materials with this, you probably don't want to be changing rotors and breaker bars all the time, so stick with the current set for your landfill and pallets as it handles them just fine. Stumps, can either split them and try it with this or stick with the current operation of split and high speed grind. Look forward to more vids!
Looks to do an awesome job with crush d pallets, with it removing 80% of metal, maybe you can get some fuel savings on the tub grinder by slowing it down but still getting the same volume. (Plus less maintenance and break downs)
I ran a WHO tub grinder back in the 90's that would've made short work of all that debris...it especially loved stumps, it was an amazing and violent machine.
Just figured out you are just across the river from me. Knew ya’ll were good people. Enjoy the channel. Interesting technology going on with the stuff we throw away thinking it magically disappears..
I am still blow away with what this has eaten ! like you said if you who'd have but that wood throw your grinder that metal that is mixed there who'd just tear it up that shredder did not care about that metal it just throws it to the side like it's no one business it really seams like it who'd be a game changer for your business! keep up with your content I enjoy it and I think many others also do thank you for sharing with us all ! I cant wait to see more video's from you
Meant for pallets. Catcher hopper for metal so it doesn’t hit the ground. Don’t forget to send the magnet excavator around to pickup that metal on the ground.
Mr. Digg the grinder has no problem with the pallet debris. How big a dent did you get in the tires getting rid of all of them enjoy the video man y’all stay safe. Keep them coming days are counting down to the super slide. Can’t wait.
Another benefit to the slow speed grinder is less fine material in the primary brake down process. Thus more sellable material get to the colorizer instead of the compost pile.
Awesome shredder 👍Like how it catches so much Metal also Bet if you slowed the Main belt down a bit it would catch a lot more metal. Ohh and that little Railroad Spike you seen is a Date nail for Railroad tie ends. Liking all your content 👍
That Shredder works really well I personally think it's brilliant with wood and the separation with the metal, Although it works with most items it struggle's to deal with rubber and various other items tough items, Almost need a next model up if there is such a thing to deal with the heaver work, another peace of kit to the collection if it's viable 😀
If I had one wish it would be everything would be recycled because I see so much waste its really disappointing, we all need to be more serious because it's a serious problem across the planet, Great content it's really interesting and fun to watch 👍👍
It's like the Terminator meets Hungry Hungry Hippos!!!!! That machine is very impressive and you certainly have given it a workout, Mr Digg You should point that out to the folks at Rotochopper when you're negotiating the price for the shredder's new home (we know you're gonna buy it) You can't buy advertising like that Thanks Mr Digg P.S. I like the fact you take the time to respond to every comment. Any chance there's another live stream coming please? Feels much more like a personal meeting and I've never been inappropriate in front of Miss Courtney (but I have enjoyed "meeting" you both) Look after yourself Mr Digg and thanks again for the video 👍
If you get one of these slow speed shredders for your operation, and considering the small size of the shredded pallet material, maybe you could lower the magnetised belt a little closer to the the main belt and evict even more of the nails :)
Shredders are like vacuum cleaners . They all work fine the first day you own them . But its all down hill after that . . I would rent all day long but I would never own .
I don't know to much about the volumes and economies of your operation but to me it looks like it would make sense to put one of these in tandem with a high speed shredder and leave it at the crate and pallet wood and shred the wood literally as it comes in. As you said, it would mean that you could literally take in any wood that comes your way which should considerably increase the volume coming through just the scrap wood processing which might just make it viable to dedicate the equipment just for that use. Just a thought.
One thing that would increase the overall speed for any of your grinders would be to get a small wheeled material handler with a hydraulic cab and 4 or 5 tine scrap grapple with an integrated magnet in the grapple center. Both Sennebogen and Liebherr make them. Wheeled to have speed between the different stations and get rid of undercarriage costs. The elevated cab keeps you off the piles and with a great view of the infeed tub. The magnet will let you pull the ferrous off the separate run material. It will speed your overall time X 1.5 times easy. Way less hassle than the excavator with a thumb.
Pallets and poles and stumps oh my! Just my opinion, and you know what opinions are, it's home would be pallets and poles. I bought some brand name bagged mulch, had to dig out a bunch of big pieces.
Collect all the metal that thing pulls which is just by product and you can sell that too. Saves wear and tear and repair money on the high speeds. Processes the metal out which can be sold, produces a cleaner product for the customer and will probably see better fuel efficiency on those high speeds over time cause it’s working an already processed product. That’s just on the pallet operation. Not to mention the space saving in the landfill. Hard to say no to that.
The Roto Chopper handled the pallets, poles, scraps, etc. with no problem whatsoever. You were right about the need for a “catch container” for the majority of the metal that’s taken by the “MAG belt”. After a couple days of pallets, lumber, scraps, etc. I wouldn’t be surprised if the accumulation of metal that came from the wood might be close to 2 or 3 55 gal. drums. I don’t know if you’d agree but, to me I would definitely hold onto it until there was about a 1/2 ton or a full ton & take it to a recycling center as sorted scrap & get the maximum you can get for it. Just like what you’re doing with the wet concrete excess that’s not needed on new concrete jobs & using it to make the massive concrete retaining wall blocks. Those are 2 stellar ideas taking in a material 1.)unused wet concrete & 2.)broken/ unwanted pallets & utility pole rejects/ scraps, then make money on the unwanted material. Excellent ideas. To me it looks like you’ve got at least somewhat of a goldmine. As always great content & keep up the great work.
And all that metal selling it as metalscrap is extra money so i think in the end you will not only save speedgrinder but make cherry on the cake in the end
Well clearly you should try a Doppstadt !! Best machine ever for this type of application ! Look at some video about the inventhor type 9 and you will see that's exactly what you need!
