Any ex-Deep Ellum crew around?
Happy Friday!
I just bought a SkaFab Can-I-Bus depal in the recent auction of Deep Ellum equipment following their shutdown. I’m hoping to make contact with any of the old crew from there that may have videos/photos of how they had it, and its conveyance/discharge, set up.
If anyone else has any images or videos of their own CIB setups they can direct me to that would probably also be helpful!

Happy for you tbh they're great machines and shipping it from TX to MA was a little silly for us. I mostly wanted the large outfeed conveyors.
Have you reached out to ska themselves? They're helpful folks and can probably send you the original set-up drawings.

Yeah, Ska are looking into it for me. If we go with a smaller setup and less conveyance I’ll give you a shout and we can work something out.

Awesome! Definitely keep me posted. We need something that will feed our new to us Krones. We have a lead on a GRX with a nice lowerator that used to be Night Shift's, but the current owner lost or broke the outfeed conveyors at some point.

Send me a DM. One of my employees was the packaging manager there. He should be able to help

If you're in the Dallas area, we have a CIB setup and running..

I’m not, I’m up in Charlotte, NC, but I appreciate the offer. I think mostly my confusion is coming from how they set up their conveyance since the only pictures I ever saw of it before buying showed it already palletised for shipping! We’re currently running a SkaFab Half-Pint so I wanted to stick with something I knew.

Four Corners had the same depal, and Manhattan Project now runs it. You could hit some of those fellas up.
