GTS Series Trommel Screen Rotary Drum Screener for Recycling

• Material is fed into the rotating drum at one end

• As the drum rotates (8–18 RPM), material tumbles and rolls through the screen apertures

• Small particles fall through the apertures early in the drum; larger material travels further before exiting at the drum discharge end

• Dual-zone drums have two different aperture sizes in sequence, producing three output size fractions

• Modular screen panel design: replace individual worn panels without removing the entire drum — dramatically lower maintenance cost versus solid drum competitors

• Rubber-lined internal drum surface on feed end reduces wear on panel fasteners from coarse material impact

• Anti-blinding screen surface treatment prevents soft or moist material from clogging apertures — critical for painted aluminum, oily metal chips, and damp ASR

• Adjustable inclination angle (3–6°) controls material residence time and therefore separation sharpness

• Variable drum speed (inverter-controlled) enables fine-tuning for different material bulk densities

• Available in 4 standard lengths (1600 / 2400 / 3200 / 4800mm) for throughput scalability

• Fully enclosed or open-frame construction options depending on dust control requirements

Crusher/Shredder → Trommel Screen → Fines fraction (ECS or direct output) + Coarse fraction (secondary crusher or direct baling)

Critical sizing consideration: For UBC recycling lines, a 30mm aperture trommel efficiently separates small aluminum chip fragments (through) from bale plastic/cardboard contamination (over) — a step that dramatically improves ECS performance downstream.
