Table Conversion Increases Throughput by 40%

Spokane Model 66

Baseline:

• 3 port rotor running at 1575 RPM with Spokane anvil ring
• 100 tons per hour input. Material backed up in rotor causing frequent production interruptions
• Output of 75 tons per hour
• Recirculation rate of 25%

Objective:

• Installation of Spokane Industries 5 shoe table fitted with Si-Tec® ceramic shoes
• Increase machine throughput
  Reduce table RPM
• Reduce recirculation

Results:

• 20% increase in input (100 to 120 Tons/Hour)
• 50% Reduction in recirculation rate (25% to 12.5%)

Value delivered:

• 40% Increase in throughput (75 to 105 tons/hour)
• Table speed reduced to 1150 RPM, reducing wear cost, energy costs,  and machine maintenance
