Vermeer models come with a drum length from 4.6m to 7.9m and diameter between 1.5m to 2m depending on the model selected.

Read on to see how a trommel screen from Vermeer can provide efficiency and productivity on the ground. We’ve broken down each key industry that uses trommel screens on the jobsite to help you make your choice.

- 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.
