Trommels in Alabama and Florida
Trommel machines, also known as drum screeners or trommel drums, are useful tools for landscapers and contractors. They’re designed to filter materials in mining, quarry, and aggregate operations so that the refined soil can be recycled and reused for use on tree and plant nurseries, farms, and other places where soil is an essential material.
A trommel screen filters material by spinning a drum with bars or paddles within to catch and lift debris. As the debris falls and tumbles through the drum, it causes the material to break up. This process continues until the debris becomes fine enough to fall through the screen, and the larger materials fall through the opposite end of the drum. When the process is complete, you’ll be left with one pile of fine soil and one pile of waste, which may include materials like roots, rocks, and wood.
