Neptunus mobile screeners made by Dutch manufacturer Lubo are showing their versatility, performing in two different applications at two Virginia locations.
At Waltrip Recycling, Williamsburg, Va., the Neptunus 7400 uses size 165 stars and a patented self-cleaning finger to help process wood waste culled from land clearing debris.
At the Potomac Landfill, Dumfries, Va., another Neptunus 7400 uses size 235 stars to reclaim C&D materials and prepare them for processing rather than landfilling them.
According to Van Dyk Baler Corp., Stamford, Conn., North American distributors of Lubo equipment, Neptunus is effective for screening compost, soil, asphalt, peat, rubble, sand, gravel and many other materials. The Neptunus comes in different screen lengths (models are SDL 5000/6600/7400) and in a two-fraction or three-fraction set-up. The rotation speed of the star shafts is simple to adjust, enabling a smaller or larger fraction to be screened.
The machine is very compact on the road, but complete at work. The whole unit is usually built on a twin axle trailer, but it can also be supplied with tracks, so it can be moved around without the necessity of a truck. It can also be delivered with stationary, hydraulic legs.
