RGS Forfar Ltd, the manufacturer of the ScanStone range, has launched a new all-web separator that provides 17 per cent more sieving capacity than previous ScanStone machines.
Available with six short webs, or five short webs plus one long web, the machine has upgraded gearboxes and a new multi-blade share with a stronger share frame to cope with an increase in forward speed.
The machine incorporates many of the unique features offered on the ScanStone range with options that include the innovative powered scrubber web that can operate in both forward and reverse modes for the ultimate effectiveness in clod breakdown action.
A new multifunction control box allows synchronised functions with the single press of a button. For example, front lift, front discs, cross conveyor direction and steering speed change will operate simultaneously giving the operator increased time to focus on other functions.
Available in 1,500mm and 1,700mm width options, the machine is expected to retail at about £50,000 depending on configurations required by the customer. Demonstrations will be available from late September 2010.
This coming season will also see the introduction of the high-strength, heavy-duty web system on all ScanStone separators throughout the range.
These toughest-ever webs have been specially designed to resist wear, with joiners giving 2-3 times more longevity than those of standard webs. Developed for use in the toughest of conditions, the webs feature extra-wide, laminated rubber banding with thickened rod ends for extra durability. The webs are also fitted with a 15mm rod in every tenth position to further assist with the break down of clods.
In addition, all flange rollers have been replaced with inboard rollers with the advantage of savings on maintenance costs.
