Trommel Screen - Recycling

These screening machines have a cylindrical drum or barrel that can rotate around a shaft passing through the centre, although they are mostly driven by a set of pneumatic wheels located outside.

Trommel screens are positioned horizontally or on a slight incline towards the outlet to facilitate feeding of material.

They are made of curved perforated plates or a suitable assembly of mesh panels.

Cleaning of holes is achieved by gravity causing any trapped material to fall as they rotate towards the top, helped by the small vibration that this motion always entails. Optionally, this cleaning process can be enhanced by the placement of a few external brushes, although this option is only effective with certain materials.
