Our Design looks simple , but don't let its clean looks fool you! Keeping in step with our entire line of custom designed herd maintenance equipment, the Fleece-O-Matic has been engineered for safety and efficiency. Yes, we did the right thing and enclosed all of the dangerous belts and pulleys. We also removed heavy steel fabrication that is unnecessary for the process of tumbling 5lbs of fleece! , ......literally, a box and a basket. But read on and see what Benefits you will find absolutely awesome from our new tumbler design. -Significantly Lower shipping costs - Unlike other tumblers, Our tumbler has no heavy frame to ship, and the tumbler detaches into 2 components requiring 2 shipping boxes that UPS will deliver to your door. Savings can be $300-$400 over other brands.
-Eliminate fleece contamination by specifying designated "color baskets" . Example; Use 1 basket for white fleece ONLY,use a different basket for black ONLY, etc.... This is the ONLY tumbler on the market that was designed to accommodate this important facet of the fleece processors' world.
- Engineered with a focus on QUALITY and "no snagging" design.
-No frame, means no suicide support bar under the spinning fiber cage. This feature always scared the heck out of me and would not pass any State Safety Inspection. A child or pet can be severely injured with those types of tumbler designs. Think Safety !
