Lake Erie introduce their new Pitbull
New Pitbull 2300P propane-powered screener offers cost-effective and low-emission alternative to diesel
LAKE Erie Portable Screeners have introduced the new Pitbull 2300P screener as a cleaner and more cost-effective alternative to diesel power. Designed to deliver maximum efficiency and high outputs with a wide range of materials, including topsoil, mulch, gravel, stone and asphalt, the new propane-powered screening plant is among the first of its kind.
The Pitbull 2300P is almost the same machine as the Pitbull 2300 model, apart from the power source. Featuring a Zenith 1.6-litre, four-cylinder, 48hp propane engine that could also be easily converted to natural gas, it can do any job that its diesel-powered counterpart can. The propane results in a cleaner engine that is easier to maintain and quieter to run than most diesels.
Lake Erie Portable Screeners have also constructed the Pitbull 2300P with same features that make the Pitbull 2300 so simple to use, maintain and transport, including full hydraulic operation, tubular frame construction, a Torflex axle, and a reversible shaker.
With its standard pintle hitch or an optional gooseneck towing package, the machine is easy to move from site to site. Upon arrival, users can quickly and easily lower the unit to its operating position with the hydraulic system. When the machine is ready to be moved, the operator can return it back to the towing position with the flip of a lever.
The Pitbull 2300P’s 20ft long, hydraulically driven stacking conveyor adjusts hydraulically from as low as 7ft 6in, up to a height of 13ft to feed material directly into a dumptruck or trailer.
The portable screening plant is made entirely of heavy-duty materials; all the stress points are fully reinforced, and both attachment points and stress points are 100% welded with high-strength steel.
The plant has an upper and lower screening deck, each offering more than 41 square feet of screening area and each of which is equipped with two sections of screen media. The company also offers optional finger decks for the top deck in addition to a wide range of screen openings for processing all types of materials.
Operators can change screens quickly and easily by loosening the tension bolts holding them in place. The screener can also be equipped with optional upper and lower discharge chutes to allow for the classification of up to three different sizes of screened materials.
