The MS-2500

Applications

Gas Pipeline Alternative Energy Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Injection Utility Line Backfill

The MS-2500 is one of Ozzie’s excavator based padders. Like all of Ozzie’s padders it is a one-man operated machine. The MS-2500 is powered by a Caterpillar OEM 325 excavator. Integrated hydraulic controls operate a frame mounted shaker/conveyor unit which is fed using the excavator bucket. Different size screens are placed on the shaker to desired material specifications. The desired material falls through the shaker onto the machine’s conveyor, which is then conveyed into the trench or other desired location. The undesired material, dropped on the shaker from the bucket, falls off the front of the shaker to the ground, away from desired material. The MS-2500’s ability to select material from any location using the 360° rotation of the excavator, combined with the shaker/conveyor unit’s ability to tilt, make it ideal for extreme terrain and tie-ins operations.
