Trommel Screen for Bulk Material Separation & Recycling
The definitive screening solution for achieving superior material purity and operational efficiency. Our heavy-duty trommel screen is engineered to seamlessly integrate into your workflow and deliver consistent, reliable results.
Ideal For: High-volume separation at Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs), plastic recycling plants, and C&D waste processing.
Unmatched Performance: Delivers exceptional separation of fines, glass, and other small contaminants.
Built to Last: Robust construction with high-quality components ensures maximum durability and uptime.
Fully Customizable: Tailored dimensions, screen sizes, and drive systems to meet your exact operational needs.
描述
The Reliable Core of Your Separation Process
Our robust Trommel Screens are the first crucial step to a cleaner recycling stream. Efficiently separate materials by size, removing small contaminants like dirt, sand, and glass to improve purity and protect downstream equipment.
Why Choose Our Trommel Screens?
High-Purity Separation
Our meticulous design ensures superior removal of small, unwanted materials (fines), significantly enhancing the purity of your valuable recycling output.
Durability & Longevity
Built with heavy-duty materials to endure continuous, high-volume operation in the harshest environments, minimizing downtime and maximizing your return on investment.
Fully Customizable
We don’t offer a one-size-fits-all solution. We tailor trommel diameter, length, screen hole sizes, and features to your specific material and throughput requirements.
The Process Flow: Simple, Effective Separation
1. Material Feed-in
Mixed feedstock (e.g., MSW, C&D waste, co-mingled plastics) enters the angled cylindrical drum.
2. Rotary Tumbling
The drum rotates slowly (~6 RPM). Internal lifter bars or “flaps” continuously tumble the material, allowing all sides to contact the screen.
3. Precision Screening
Smaller contaminants (dirt, glass, sand, organic fines) fall through the customized mesh holes for separate collection below.

Frequently Asked Questions
What screen hole sizes and shapes can you provide?
We offer full customization. Screen openings can be round, square, or hexagonal, with sizes typically ranging from 10mm to 200mm depending on your application. We can even create multiple screening zones with different hole sizes within a single trommel drum.
Can the trommel handle wet or sticky materials?
Yes, trommels are generally very effective with wet and sticky materials like MSW and compost. The tumbling action helps break up clumps. For extremely challenging materials, we can add features like screen cleaning brushes to prevent clogging and maintain efficiency.
What is the difference between a trommel screen and a disc/star screen?
A Trommel Screen uses a rotating drum and is excellent for heavy-duty applications with diverse and abrasive materials like C&D waste and MSW. A Disc or Star Screen uses a bed of rotating discs/stars and is often used for lighter materials like paper and co-mingled recyclables, sometimes achieving higher throughput in those specific applications.
What maintenance is required for a trommel screen?
Trommels are known for their low maintenance requirements. Regular checks include inspecting the screen plates for wear or damage, checking the drive chain/belt tension, and lubricating the trunnion wheels (support rollers) according to the service schedule. The overall design is simple and robust, ensuring long-term reliability.
