Trommel Machines for Plastic Recycling
Separating contaminants from valuable materials is critical for a high-quality end product. Trommel machines are slow-rotating, cylindrical separation machines essential in plastic recycling plants and Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs). Despite their leisurely pace, trommels are incredibly effective at filtering out smaller contaminants from recycling streams.
How Trommel Machines Work
At the heart of a trommel is a large, rotating cylindrical mesh screen tunnel. Internal flaps continuously flip the material to ensure all contaminants are exposed to the screen. As the feed stock moves through the tilted tunnel, smaller contaminants like broken glass fall through the mesh, while larger, valuable materials continue to the next stage.
- Flipping the Feed Stock
The flaps continuously flip the material, ensuring all of it is exposed to the mesh screen for effective separation.
- Guiding Forward Motion
These flaps also help guide the feed stock through the tunnel, which is typically tilted at a slight angle for gravity-assisted flow.
