Guests from around the world descended on St. Martin, Minnesota to learn-how to maximize the profits in their waste materials with Rotochopper.
With more than 200 attendees, Rotochopper’s 6th annual Demo Day was its largest yet, attracting guests from all over the world to see the “Perfect In One Pass” advantage in person.
The day began with tours of the state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, providing attendees the opportunity to see Rotochopper grinders in every stage of manufacture, from cutting to final inspection and testing. The facility tours also allowed guests to meet the teams who design, build, and support Rotochopper equipment.
Rotochopper’s President/CEO Art de St. Aubin welcomed attendees with opening remarks that focused on the benefits of working with a factory-direct manufacturer. “Today, you’re going to witness what Rotochopper stands for: loyalty, community, commitment, and service. This commitment allows us to create new products and equipment enhancements based on your feedback. We represent only one name, Rotochopper, and we’re damn proud of it.”
The demonstrations began with Rotochopper’s 950 hp B-66 showing off the convenience of a Track & Dolly system, rolling in the yard on a Rotochopper semi and setting up to grind logs & whole trees within minutes.
Rotochopper completed more than 20 demos with a variety of raw materials and end products, featuring 10 machines:
