Trommel Machine for Plastic Recycling
Ensuring purity in plastic recycling. Our robust trommel machines effectively filter contaminants and separate materials, providing a clean feed for downstream processing.
The Sorting Process
Simple, reliable, and highly effective trommel screening technology to separate small contaminants from your plastic stream.
Feeding & Tumbling
Raw material enters the large rotating drum. Internal flaps continuously flip and guide the stock forward, ensuring thorough exposure.
Screening
As the drum rotates (6-10 RPM), smaller contaminants like glass, sand, and fines pass through the mesh screen holes.
Separation & Discharge
Target materials larger than the mesh stay inside and are discharged at the end, while contaminants fall into a collection hopper below.
Engineered for Efficiency
Built to handle the heavy demands of modern Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs) and high-capacity plastic recycling plants.
Self-Cleaning System
Equipped with automatic brush units that continuously clean the mesh filters during operation, preventing clogging and reducing maintenance downtime.
Robust Drive Options
Available in 2-wheel or 4-wheel drive configurations to suit different operational loads and environmental conditions.
Variable Control
Includes frequency inverters for precise speed control and synchronization, allowing operators to optimize throughput for specific material types.
