Trommel Screens That Keep Material Moving

If you’ve ever dealt with:

·         Wet compost plugging your screen

·         Sticky soil building up

·         Material slowing production

You already know the problem.

Trommel screens keep material moving — even when nothing else will.

Built for the materials that slow everything else down

Common applications include:

·         Compost – Efficient separation of organic material

·         Topsoil – Clean, consistent finished product

·         Mulch – Removes oversize material quickly

·         Wood waste – Handles stringy, irregular feed

·         Dirt and soil – Ideal for landscaping and site prep

·         Recycling & waste – Separates mixed material streams

Once inside the drum, the materials are tumbled and aerated, helping to dry sticky substances and break up clumps. This motion, combined with the mesh openings, allows smaller particles to fall through while larger materials continue to the end of the drum. If the drum rotates too slowly, materials can clump together, reducing efficiency. On the other hand, excessive speed can prevent proper separation, as particles may remain suspended in the air rather than falling through the mesh.
