Trommels

Trommel screens use a rotating cylindrical drum fitted with perforated screening panels to separate materials into different size fractions. As material moves through the rotating drum, smaller particles fall through the screen openings while larger materials continue through the machine, creating consistent and controlled material separation.

These machines are widely used across recycling facilities, composting sites, waste management operations and quarrying environments. Trommels are particularly effective at processing materials such as soil, compost, aggregates, wood waste, sand and construction or demolition debris. Their ability to handle mixed and contaminated material streams makes them an important part of many material recovery and sorting processes.

Modern mobile trommel screens often feature variable drum speeds, interchangeable screen sections and integrated conveyors for efficient material handling. This flexibility allows operators to adapt the machine for different materials and output sizes, improving both screening accuracy and productivity on site.

Used trommels provide a reliable and cost-effective solution for businesses looking to improve material sorting and quality control. By separating materials more efficiently, these machines help maximise resource recovery, reduce waste and support more productive recycling and aggregate processing operations.
