Wedge Wire Trommel Screens | Rotary Screening Drums

Material is fed into the trommel drum (rotary screening drum), then lifted up by the rotation and aerated as it falls back down. After that, this action is repeated with each revolution along the length of the drum. The smaller segments therefore pass through the screen openings. The larger fractions finally tumble towards its eventual exit at the rear of the drum. Wedge wire and looped wedge wire rotary drums are used for wash plant applications including mineral extraction plants, coal mining and fibreglass processing operations. In addition, food washing factories and many more.

A trommel drum cylinder separates materials by size, and also used for separating biodegradable fraction of mixed urban waste, including separating different sizes of crushed stone. In addition, contractors screen their site debris into two segments. A saleable topsoil for farms, nurseries and site-work for example, and, rock cleaning for aggregates and landscaping work. As a result, contractors resell their waste, instead of incurring disposal costs.

Note – Our rotary screening drums are supplied hollow, customers install their own internal fixings.
