[USCC] screening

[Kyle Cluff]

I run a Biosolids composting operation, we use a trommel screen. but we are looking into getting a star screen for our next screen. they seem to screen higher volume's than trommel. we will be keeping our trommel screen also.

Jeff:

I don't know what you are screening, but we have (attempted to) screen
biosolids compost with a shaker type unit.  If it's the least bit wet our
experience was that it will blind your screen.  We had to clean the screen 3
times one day and sent the screen back.  It was a day rental.  You might try
a day rental and see if yours works before you invest that kind of money.
