"It takes a Patz Feeder to produce the highest quality beef."

- Gene Martin of Denver, Pennsylvania

Model 400 Material Mover - Overview

Since 1948, Patz has been manufacturing heavy-duty material-moving equipment. Today, proven Patz equipment is doing the job in a wide range of industries around the world.

By starting with the basic unit and adding assemblies and options as illustrated, this unit can be custom designed to fulfill individual installation needs. Move large volumes of material easily through troughs, around corners, and up inclines with one machine. It handles big jobs and moves material long distances. Available as a complete bolt-together unit, or sections can be connected to concrete channel, gutter, or trough.

"It’s built strong . . . stronger than I’ve ever seen."

"We have two Model 400 Material Movers, one to clean out the debarking area and another to move sawdust from the saw area. Patz is better than the blower system, which is noisy and takes warm air out of the building. Our Patz equipment is totally automated, saving labor."

Dave Le Boeuf, Owner

This sawmill recently added a slanted-sidewall Patz Material Mover for conveying wood blocks and sawdust through concrete troughs and up elevated slides from saw and debarking areas to loading areas.
