A1:A trommel screen is used to separate materials based on particle size. It is widely used in waste processing, composting, mining, and aggregate industries for classifying and screening bulk materials such as soil, compost, sand, municipal solid waste, and construction debris.
Q2: What materials can be processed with a trommel screen?
A2:Common materials include:
Municipal Solid Waste (MSW)
Compost and organic waste
Sand, gravel, and aggregates
Scrap metals (pre-screening)
Biomass and wood chips
Construction and demolition debris
Q3: How to choose the right screen size?
A3: Screen size depends on your material type and the desired output fraction. For example, compost typically uses 10–30 mm mesh, while MSW may use larger mesh sizes (50–80 mm). Drum length and diameter also affect capacity.
Q4:What is the difference between a trommel screen and a vibrating screen?
A4:Trommel screens use rotary motion for screening and are better for moist, sticky materials. Vibrating screens use linear or circular vibration and are better suited for dry, fine materials requiring high precision.
