A UK recycling yard used an MDS M412 heavy duty track trommel screen to process concrete demolition waste.

The Challenge:

The Customer had no way to regulate the size of material that was being dumped at their site, so there were often large pieces if concrete up to 600mm (24") in size. The material was also contaminated with steel which had previously caused issues ripping feeder belts on their other equipment.

The M412 Heavy Duty Trommel Solution:

The MDS M412 provided the perfect solution for the customer to recycle this material. Most scalping screens utilize a belt feed system which is susceptible to damage from heavy material and steel contamination. The MDS however features a unique Hardox lined reciprocating feeder that can handle the harshest of material without fail. The Drum cleaner works to keep the openings of the trommel clear all year round ensuring that the customer can continue to process throughout the winter and periods of heavy rain, when other screening systems would ‘blind’ over.
