demonstration of the company’s 5400BT wood grinder.
Continental Biomass Industries (CBI) hosted its 2017 Factory Forum at its headquarters in Newton, New Hampshire, where guests were able to view live equipment demonstrations and attend workshops.
The event kicked off with an opening reception and was followed by a factory tour through the CBI facility the next morning. The tours were led by CBI employees, who shared information on the company’s history and allowed guests to view grinders being prepared to assist in hurricane debris cleanup.
During the demonstrations, guests were able to view the 5400BT wood grinder, 5800BT wood grinder, 6800BT wood grinder, Phoenix 2100 trommel, TTS 620 drum screener, 7544 flail and disc chipper, TRS 550 recycling screen and AirMax material density separator in action.
After the demonstrations, customers and service technicians had an opportunity to climb into the machines with product experts and have their questions answered in detail.
The final day of the Factory Forum focused on workshops at graduated levels of safety and performance optimization. Aaron Murray, technical R&D lead at CBI, walked end-users around a 6800BT for a safety and basic functionality workshop, and Tim Peters, field service technician, underscored safety throughout his preventative maintenance workshop. Performance optimization workshops were led by CBI engineering specialists Mike Goutier and Nate Fuller, who discussed simplified machine controls and gave live examples of best practices with a CBI 5800BT grinder.
