Trommel (Screening System)

Precision Classification and High-Volume Material Sorting

Our Trommel Screening Machine provides a highly efficient, mechanical method for classifying materials by size. By utilizing a rotating cylindrical drum, the system ensures that materials are sorted with precision, making it an essential component for waste management, recycling, and industrial processing facilities.

Key Features:

  • Size-Based Sorting: Material enters a rotating drum where smaller elements pass through pre-set apertures, while larger items are moved toward the exit.

  • Operational Efficiency: The unit features an inclined frame that uses gravity and rotation to move substances through the system, ensuring high-throughput sorting.

  • System Versatility: Designed for simplicity and ease of use, the trommel effectively manages diverse materials ranging from organic matter to industrial recyclables.

  • Structural Integrity: Frames are vibratory and thermal stress relieved to ensure long-term durability under heavy operational loads.

  • Manufacturing Precision: Each frame is statically balanced with continuous fillet welds to maintain perfect structural balance during high-speed rotation.

  • Advanced Material Build: Includes rubber-lined steel units specifically configured to support modular screening panels for reduced wear and noise.

How It Works:

  1. Feeding: Raw or processed waste is fed into the elevated end of the rotating cylindrical drum.

  2. Mechanical Rotation: As the drum spins, the material is tumbled, ensuring every piece comes into contact with the screening surface.

  3. Classification: Smaller particles drop through the precision-sized holes (apertures) into a collection hopper or conveyor.

  4. Discharge: Larger, "oversized" materials continue through the length of the drum and are discharged at the lower end for further processing or disposal.

Benefits:

  1. Streamlined Workflow: Automates the classification process, significantly reducing manual labor in recycling and composting plants.

  2. Customizable Sorting: Aperture sizes can be adjusted to meet specific material requirements, from fine compost to bulky recyclables.

  3. High Durability: Built with high-grade steel and seamless pipes to withstand the impact of heavy industrial waste.

  4. Consistent Output: Delivers uniform material sizes, which is critical for downstream processes like secondary shredding or packaging.
