Wholesale Rotary trommel screen minerals sieving and graded washing machine Service, Supplier

Rotary trommel screen, also called rotary drum screen, is kind of sieving and grading apparatus. It is widely used for minerals sieving and graded washing. It provides a simple, efficient and economical solution to upgrade a wide range of materials and optimize the subsequent process steps of recovery. Ascend can customize the trommel screen according to customers requirements. For example, we can make enclosed type, open type, heavy type and light duty type. The mesh sizes can be tailored according to the raw material sizes.

Product Description

Working Principle

Major parts of trommel screen are drum, screen mesh, discharge hopper, support base frame and drive devices. When materials feeding into the drum, on the one hand, materials will make a spiral movement along with drum surface to be screened.

On the other hand, the larger materials will flow forward along the direction of slope and be separated by screen with different meshes. The different materials will fall into different hoppers and then be sent to different products stacks through belt conveyor or manpower.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What are the key components of a trommel screen?

The main structural components consist of the rotary drum, the screen mesh, the discharge hopper, the support base frame, and the driving system that powers rotation.

2. How are materials classified within the drum?

Materials are separated based on size. As the drum rotates, smaller particles fall through the designated screen meshes, while larger items travel forward along the slope to the end of the drum.

3. What causes the materials to move inside the trommel screen?

The combination of the drum's continuous rotation and its inclined installation angle causes materials to tumble and perform a spiral movement along the screen surface.

4. How are the separated products collected and moved?

After passing through the screen mesh, materials fall into corresponding discharge hoppers. They are then transported to designated storage piles using belt conveyors or manual labor.

5. Can a trommel screen support multiple separation sizes?

Yes, by installing screen sections with different mesh sizes along the length of the drum, the machine can separate materials into several distinct size gradings during a single operation.
