In the picturesque landscape of Stavanger, Norway, a quarry faced a significant challenge in efficiently processing overburden material.
The MDS M413 Heavy Duty Trommel became the solution to separate waste fines, create a saleable mid-product, and generate a clean oversize material for crushing.
The customer's primary challenge was to effectively separate materials, creating a clean oversize product for crushing, a saleable mid-product, and waste fines. Previous attempts using a different scalping screen resulted in wet and sticky fines carrying over to the mid-product. Additionally, some oversize material proved too large for the crushing operation, leading to blockages and downtime.

The MDS M413, equipped with a 450mm (18”) tipping grid, drum cleaner provided a tailored solution. The fully welded fines drum and changeable screens in the mid-product ensured efficient material separation. The drum cleaner addressed the issue of wet and sticky fines, keeping the openings clear. The tipping grid eliminated oversize material larger than 450mm (18”) from the crushing operation. This solution allowed the 175-450mm (7”–18”) material to be transported to a separate area for processing through a jaw crusher and scalping screen.
