QUICK CHANGE TROMMEL

QUICK CHANGE TROMMEL
With the McCloskey 628 Trommel, large-scale processors can now take advantage of the “quick change” drum feature to pre-screen materials, saving expensive wear and tear on their grinding equipment.

The “Drum X-Change System” patented by McCloskey has been in use on smaller trommels, and allows operators to put a single trommel to work on multiple screening tasks with minimal setup time. The 628 Trommel, measuring six feet in diameter with 28-foot long screens, is the first trommel of its size to offer the system. The result: large scale composters, green waste processors and landfill reclamation projects now have a trommel large enough to keep pace with production demands and versatile enough to serve double-duty as a pre-screener. “The value in the 628 is that as equipment gets bigger, the price goes up, of course,” says Barry Greenaway, Marketing Manager for McCloskey International. “Customers can’t buy a new piece of capital equipment for every possible task, so these large operations tend to focus on primary grinding and finished screening. Now, they can complete pre-screening and finished screening with one machine, and the entire business becomes more productive.”
