Diesel-to-Electric Conversion for Municipal Waste Screener Machines – Save 65–70% Operating Cost | Servoday Plants & Equipments Limited

Municipal waste screening machines consume massive fuel and require heavy maintenance when running on diesel. At most municipal waste dumping yards across India, electricity supply is already available, meaning diesel burning is unnecessary and extremely costly.

Servoday Plants & Equipments Limited — along with ElectricExcavator.in and GrabsIndia.com — now offers complete diesel-to-electric conversion for all types and brands of screener machines, helping municipalities and industries reduce operating expenses by 65–70%, increase productivity, and eliminate diesel engine failures.

Why Convert Diesel Screening Machines to Electric?

✅ 1. Up to 70% Cost Reduction

A typical diesel screener consumes 12–18 litres/hour (data validated from diesel engines used in screeners such as Extec S-5 and S-6, which run on heavy Deutz engines).
Electric motors require only 30–75 kW, depending on machine size.

Diesel vs Electric – Hourly Cost Comparison

Annual Savings Example

(10 hours/day, 300 days/year):

• Diesel: ₹34,20,000 – ₹51,30,000
• Electric: ₹8,10,000 – ₹20,25,000
• Annual Savings: ₹26–₹32 lakh per machine

2. Massive Reduction in Maintenance

Diesel screeners require continuous attention:

• Engine overhaul & service
• Filter replacements (air, fuel, oil)
• Turbocharger repairs
• Injector maintenance
• Cooling system servicing
• Fuel system cleaning

Electric systems eliminate all engine-related breakdowns.

Remaining parts to maintain:

• Motor bearings
• VFD electronics
• Hydraulic pump drive

This drastically reduces downtime and maintenance cost.

3. Cleaner, Silent & Eco-Friendly Operations

Electric conversion eliminates:

• Engine noise
• Diesel fumes
• Black smoke
• Oil leakages
• Fire hazards

Perfect for urban waste processing plants and zero-emission zones.

4. Ready Power at Municipal Dumping Yards

Most Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) already operate:

• Compactors
• Trommel plants
• Weighbridges
• Streetlight infrastructure
• Leachate treatment plants

These run on grid electricity, making electric conversion easy & highly cost-effective.

Other Industries Benefiting from Diesel-to-Electric Conversion

Your equipment is not limited to municipal waste.

✔ Steel Industries

Screeners are used in:

• Scrap metal sorting
• Slag screening
• Raw material grading
• Furnace feed separation

Electric conversion reduces dust, noise & heat load inside steel yards.

✔ Mining Sector

• Iron ore screening
• Coal screening
• Chromite & manganese ore screening
• Quarry/aggregates separation

Electric screeners reduce fuel transport costs in remote mining belts.

✔ Construction & Demolition Recycling

• C&D waste sorting
• Concrete debris separation
• Asphalt recycling

Electric systems improve reliability during long shifts.

✔ Biomass & Pellet Plants

• Size classification before pelletizing
• Husk, sawdust, chips screening

Electric operation is cleaner & cheaper.

✔ Cement & Power Plants

• Coal screening
• Limestone classification
• Clinker sizing

Heavy industries get huge savings on 24×7 operations.
