Class-leading trommels added to ELB line-up

MDS track, static and recycling trommels, as well as apron feeders, are designed to handle a wide range of media that include blasted rock, riprap, as well as varying substrates such as clay, limestone and even recycled concrete rubble. But, most importantly, it’s their enhanced processing efficiencies and ability to handle oversize materials that makes Terex Corporation’s MDS brand a market leader.

The M515 heavy-duty trommel is ideal for cleaning dirty material and can handle rocks up to 800 mm in size

Locally, the MDS range will be sold and supported by ELB Equipment, which is also currently the dealer for Terex’s Powerscreen scalper and screen series.

From an operational perspective, trommels pass on major production benefits given their ability to separate up to four streams of aggregates quickly and efficiently. The process starts with the separation of soil and fines at the feed-end, moving through to larger rocks and oversize rock up to 1.5 m at the discharge end.

In terms of performance, MDS’s heavy-duty static trommel units are capable of processing 500-750 tonnes per hour (tph), while its tracked trommels deliver in a range of 300-750 tph, depending on the model. Typical applications include quarrying, sand and gravel operations, and recycling.

The latter application is a growing market, particularly for construction and demolition waste processing. Here, they aid in separating and sorting different types of recyclable materials, such as wood, plastics, metals and aggregates that could otherwise end up in a landfill.
