The M413 Heavy Duty Trommel processed sticky clay in Germany, equipped with a tipping grid with 450mm openings, 150mm screens, a 75mm fully welded drum and a drum cleaner.

The Challenge:

A customer faced a significant challenge with a large stockpile of quarry overburden contaminated with extremely sticky clay which was proving to be difficult to process. This pre-cleaning step was crucial to prevent clogging and excessive wear on the crusher parts and the customer needed a screening solution that could operate efficiently throughout the year, even in bad weather and wet conditions.

The M413 Heavy Duty Trommel Solution:

The Terex MDS M413 Heavy Duty Trommel was suggested to address the issue, equipped with a tipping grid to discard materials that are too large for the drum and a drum cleaner to prevent blockages in the drum openings. This machine’s scrubbing action efficiently cleaned the material, separating sticky clay from the usable overburden. The M413 includes a 75mm fully welded drum for fines, 150mm screens for mid-sized products, and a tipping grid with 450mm openings.
