Based in Missouri, Hansen's Tree Service & Environmental Resources operates one of the state's largest tree care and organic recycling businesses, processing a constant stream of logs, brush, limbs, and stumps. With a fleet of 75 trucks, the company generates enormous volumes of organic material that, after shredding, must be screened into finished products such as mulch and compost.

As volumes increased, Hansen's needed a screening solution that could keep pace with production demands while delivering the reliability and flexibility required to support future growth. Working together with ECOVERSE, Hansen's expanded its screening capacity with Doppstadt technology tailored to its operation.

Today, three robust Doppstadt SM Trommel Screens help make that possible.

Keeping Up with Growing Volumes

For any high-volume recycling operation, screening can quickly become a bottleneck. Material continues to arrive, but if screening capacity falls behind, productivity suffers across the entire process.

Hansen's was looking for a solution that would allow its team to process more material in less time while minimizing interruptions caused by maintenance and repairs.

According to Travis Amrine, Maintenance and Fleet Director at Hansen's Tree Service & Environmental Resources, the Doppstadt SM Trommel delivered on both fronts.

"The build of the Doppstadt Trommel makes it very accessible for maintenance and repairs," says Amrine.

For Hansen's, easier access means faster service, less downtime, and more time spent producing revenue-generating products. Another proof of what Built to Run means in practice: maximum uptime with consistently high performance.

Built to Adapt to Customer Needs

Flexibility is essential for an operation serving a diverse customer base.

Hansen's produces both compost and mulch products, each requiring different screening specifications. Thanks to its high usability, the Doppstadt SM Trommel allows the team to quickly configure the machine for different applications by changing screen drums to match product requirements.

For compost production, Hansen's utilizes a 3/8-inch drum to create a fine, consistent material suitable for soil amendment applications. For mulch products, 5/8-inch and 3/4-inch drums help meet varying customer specifications.

This ability to adapt equipment to changing production needs allows Hansen's to efficiently serve homeowners, commercial landscapers, and municipal customers while maintaining consistent product quality across every load.

Furthermore, the SM Trommels enable the same crew to move more material in less time.

"It's the most efficient Trommel Screen we have run," says Amrine.

A Partnership Built on Industry Expertise

Through Ecoverse, Doppstadt's official distributor and partner in the USA, Hansen's benefits from responsive support and extensive industry expertise.

Hansen's Tree Service & Environmental Resources built its reputation on doing things right the first time. The Doppstadt SM Trommel Screen fits that standard exactly, helping keep the business running day after day.

When asked what he would tell other operators considering a Doppstadt Trommel, Amrine's response is simple:

"The efficiency and longevity of the Doppstadt Trommel is unmatched."

A statement that perfectly sums up Doppstadt's promise: Built to Run.
