Ancillary Handling Equipment

Trommels

Rotary screening for size control before magnetic, eddy current, and sensor separation.

Control particle size before separation
Reduce overload and material surges
Improve recovery consistency downstream

Trommels separate material by size so downstream metal separation equipment sees a more consistent fraction and bed depth.

They are commonly used in waste, compost, construction and demolition, and recycling plants where inconsistent feed would otherwise reduce recovery performance.

Key features

  • Rotary screening with duty-specific aperture selection
  • Feed and discharge conveyors planned as a system
  • Access for cleaning and screen maintenance
  • Suitable before magnets and eddy current separators
  • Can be integrated into fixed plant layouts

Typical applications

  • Construction and demolition waste
  • MRF pre-screening
  • Compost and biomass contamination removal
  • Residual waste treatment
