- Rock & Mineral Processing
Trommel screens can work to separate different materials before the processing stage for ores and recycling waste rock. This process helps retain value from the mining process and can speed up the transition from mining to refining stages. For this use case, machines with a stronger capability and feeding capacity would work best to process large scale jobs with ease.
- Construction & Demolition
Jobs are easier accomplished with a trommel screen on the site for construction and demolition. The machine can sift and sort through materials to clean through what can be reused, recycled or discarded. The machine can also be set up to feed into a dump truck or alike equipment to transport the materials to required locations.

- Waste Management & Recycling
With waste management and recycling jobs the use of a trommel screen can improve the effectiveness of recycling with the separation of waste and valuable material. Machines can help recycling by separating plastics, paper, glass and metals which can help reduce landfill waste and improve working efficiency.
- Composting & Organic Processing
Composting & organic material processing is a delicate process that requires the separation of materials to go to their respective use cases. Vermeer machines allow for separation of organic matter and compost which is key as high-quality compost requires removal of contaminants and achieving consistent particle size in output. A valuable industry for trommel screens is also in production of paper as these machines can help paper manufacturers recover valuable fiber from rejected pulp and can recover up to 10% of fiber. This efficiency leans strongly to use in these industries.
Why Vermeer?
Vermeer trommel screens are built with ease of maintenance and efficiency in mind. The feed hopper is easy to feed due to being low on the ground and can be fed by a variety of loading equipment. The value of Vermeer trommel screens beyond alternatives are key features and options available on models, patented duplex drums for example feature reversible hammers and tips that can make maintenance easier and half the wear and tear.
