Improved Reliability

All shaft bearings have been upgraded to two-bolt flanged bearings with grease fittings, which has significantly improved machine reliability. This has eliminated replacing auger shafts and airlock rotors due to bearing failures.

Enhanced Access and Maintenance

The new Ranger 8 and Ranger 8 XL machine’s slide door has been redesigned into a two-tier panel access system. This provides easier access to both the control board and gearing for maintenance. Additionally, the control panel access door now fits more tightly, better sealing the control board area against fiber intrusion. This design prevents the slide track from getting pinched, a common issue with the older slide guard.

Side access panels have been added to the machine to improve access to the blower box for removal and troubleshooting. These panels also provide easier access beneath the machine for maintenance, thermal breaker resets and cleaning of the cooling fan on the drive motor.

Control Panel Improvements

The voltage meter has been upgraded to better withstand higher voltages. The control board wiring now is using a “home run” system, which has reduced panel glitches.

This system involves direct runs of single wires from components to the terminal strip, ensuring secure connections.

The remote connection has been simplified to a standard 15-amp plug.

Safety & Convenience

The Ranger 8 and Ranger 8 XL both come with a hopper extension for enhanced safety.

The Ranger 8 XL comes standard with lockable caster wheels for added convenience and ease of machine moving. The Lockable caster wheels are available as an option for the Ranger 8.

Ranger 8 XL

The hopper size has been increased by 4 Cubic Feet.

The enlargement of the hopper increases the time the material is being conditioned providing an even smoother material flow.

The additional material in the Ranger XL allows extra time for the hopper tender to work with the adhesives.
