THE HEAVY-HITTING FEATHERWEIGHT
THEY MAY BE A BIG NAME IN THE INDUSTRY, OFFERING HEAVYWEIGHT MACHINERY, BUT GCM ENVIRO ALSO HAS A SOLUTION FOR THE LITTLE GUYS.
The Gremac E2 trommel screen offers site flexibility.
Providing customers with cutting edge equipment is nothing new for machinery distributing company GCM Enviro.
Formed in 2004, the Australianowned company has built a reputation for helping its customers grow, offering solutions for composting, waste recycling and landfill management.
Now, the market leader in solid waste management and recycling equipment has looked at the big picture – and scaled it down – with the Gremac E2 trommel screen.
Sitting alongside landfill compactors, shredders, windrow turners, windsifters and larger trommel screens, the Gremac E2 may be small in size, but it delivers huge results, according to GCM.
Adam Krajewski, GCM Enviro Marketing Manager, says the Gremac E2 offers flexibility while maintaining capacity.
“The whole purpose is they’re easy enough to tow from one site to another,” Adam says. “The compact size allows it to fit in spaces that larger screens wouldn’t be able to.
“It’s super compact, super lightweight and portable.”
Adam says the German-engineered Gremac E2 is a new product to the Australian market.
With a maximum weight of 3.5 tonnes the E2 is small enough to be towed behind a 4WD or utility, making it easily transportable from one worksite to another.
Suitable to sort a range of materials such as soil, sand, gravel, stones, green waste, wood chips, compost, recycled materials, construction and demolition waste and glass, The Gremac E2 is
Portability is a big plus for the Gremac E2.
powered by a strong electric motor, with durable galvanised frame and guides.
It allows for interchangeable screens and is suitable with mesh sizes from 10 to 100 millimetres.
The Gremac E2 is maintenancefriendly, with a larger door so the drum, lower belt and cross belt are easily accessible.
“The benefit is it’s quick to switch from one screen size to another,” Adam says.
“The larger [trommels], require a crane to lift and change the heavy punch plate screen drums. With the Gremac E2, in less than 10 minutes you can switch from one mesh size to another, and these changes can be made on the job site.
“It’s pretty customisable, pretty quick.
“It’s not an overly complicated machine and really operator-friendly.”
Adam says the Gremac E2’s portability will provide businesses far more flexibility.
It can be towed in and out of worksites quickly, when required, rather than have bulky, larger equipment on site for longer periods.
“There are the companies who might have short term work at one site where this might be trailered in, they do a couple of weeks work, do what they need and then it leaves.”
Trommels are a key piece of equipment in the recycling process, helping sort organic material.
“This does meet the market for the smaller guys who want to process a decent amount of soil, sand, etc but may not need a larger trommel.”
The Gremac E2 ticks two more vital boxes – minimal space requirements
and affordability – according to Adam.
“If there’s not a massive amount of space for storage the Gremac E2 can be parked under a carport or on a driveway,” he says.
“Budget-wise, [the Gremac E2 is] almost a third of the price of the large trommel screens.

“You might have a big heap of soil but it might have a lot of impurities in it, rocks, sticks. If you’re looking to sell-on nice, clean soil to customers the Gremac E2 is a great solution,” Adam says.
“The Gremac E2 can be powered by mains power or the internal petrol or diesel generator, this gives the flexibility of using indoors with the mains power or outdoors on a work site nowhere near the grid. For more information visit: www.gcmenviro.com
