Rotochopper owners and operators gathered at Rotochopper's manufacturing facility in St. Martin, Minnesota for training the second and third week of February. Rotochopper hosts Rotochopper University annually for companies that have purchased a Rotochopper horizontal grinder, shredder, or screener during the past year.
The two-day class includes a manufacturing facility tour, equipment operation best practice training, hands-on demonstrations, and plenty of networking opportunities allowing machine owners to learn from each other as well. This year the education focused on "how to properly feed your machine," "how to perform preventative maintenance," and "how to troubleshoot." The hands-on demonstrations showed attendees how to install the main rotor bearings and how to adjust the sheave and tension the drive belt on a Rotochopper grinder.
"After attending Rotochopper University I feel very confident in my knowledge of operating and maintaining our equipment," shared one event attendee. Another attendee commented, "They go over a wide scope of topics, but also personalize the information they're going over for the class attendees and the equipment we operate".
Rotochopper hosted 60 students during the two-day event from various companies across the globe.
"Rotochopper University continues to be an event that we find has a great benefit to our customers," said Rotochopper Customer Service Manager and event instructor, Adam Asmus. "The attendees can connect with our service team, our company, and each other in ways that will benefit their operation for years to come. As an instructor for the event, I was thoroughly impressed with the group of attendees this year and enjoyed the time we were able to spend with them".
Rotochopper continues to focus on and invest in ensuring the owners and operators of Rotochopper equipment are trained and supported through this course. Its factory direct support team provides attendees with the foundation for the ideal operation and positive operational outcomes.
