Helpful Protocols For Using A Tub Grinder Around A Construction Site

by Jonathan Carroll

In order to make debris piles around construction sites easier to handle and move, you can use a tub grinder machine. It will grind these piles into smaller pieces. Using said machinery will remain pleasant and impactful if you follow these protocols.

Fill the Tub Bowl up Correctly

An important part of your tub grinder system is the tub bowl at the top. This is where you'll place debris that will be grounded into smaller pieces. In order to get optimal and safe operation, you need to make sure you fill this bowl up to the appropriate levels.

Too little and you won't maximize your grinding efficiency, but too much can cause debris to fly everywhere and subsequently create work hazards. There should be a fill line marked on this tub bowl that shows exactly how much debris you can put in at a time.

Use Excavators for Proper Placement

In order to get piles of debris inside the tub grinder efficiently, you'll want to use an excavator. This machine is very powerful and isn't that difficult to navigate around a construction site. It can also give you more control over how debris piles are moved into your tub grinder.

Just make sure you find skilled operators to navigate this machinery around your tub grinder system. That's going to prevent damage and ultimately ensure debris end up in the grinder as quickly as possible. Then you can move on to other construction tasks. 

Make Sure Conveyor System is Working Optimally

Another important part of a tub grinder is the conveyor system, which is designed to move ground debris away from the grinding system and into organized piles. In order to achieve this task consistently, you need to make sure your conveyor system works optimally.

Prior to moving debris with it, see how it moves and inspect the condition of the belt materials. They need to be structurally sound in order for debris to move along this system correctly. Any issues need to be addressed before you start grinding materials and sending them through this moving system. 

If you have large piles of debris, such as tree branches, you may want to grind them into smaller pieces so that they're easier to move around a construction site. If you carefully review your tub grinder's capabilities and recommended operational protocols, this machine will continue grinding all sorts of materials in a structured way.
