Rotochopper, St. Martin, Minnesota, announced that machine owners
and operators gathered at its manufacturing facility in St. Martin for training
the last two weeks of February under its Rotochopper University program. The
customer service department hosts Rotochopper University annually for companies
that have purchased Rotochopper grinders during the past year.
The two-day class includes a manufacturing facility tour,
equipment operation best practice training, a hands-on demonstration and networking
opportunities that allow machine owners to learn from each other. This year,
the education sessions included instruction on how to properly feed a grinder, how
to perform preventative maintenance and how to troubleshoot common issues. The
hands-on demonstration also showed attendees how to install the main rotor
bearings on a Rotochopper grinder.
Rotochopper offered two session options with over 50 students
from 32 companies across the U.S. and Canada attending.
“Being at Rotochopper University this year has been really
interesting. I really enjoyed being able to come to the Rotochopper factory to
see and meet the people that are behind the machines that we are operating on a
regular basis. Anyone that operates a Rotochopper would benefit from coming
here to see exactly how much care and time are put into building these
machines. It really was a wonderful experience,” says Jason Fenley of Buford, Georgia-based
AKA Tree Removal.
