. It is capable of outputs up to 4000 lb/hr of decking. Two other models are planned: TE100-33 with 100-mm diam. and output up to 2000 lb/hr and TE 160-33 with 160-mm diam. and output up to 8000 lb/hr. All three have segmented screws and barrels and are available with optional 37.5:1 L/D. The three models have 200, 400, and 800 hp motors.
