New Terex  drum screen tackles up to 90 tonnes per hour

Terex Recycling Systems has introduced the new TSD-280 drum screen, which promises to generate higher-quality recyclable material. 

Designed for heavy-duty processing, the TSD-280 enhances recycling operations by pre-sorting bulky construction and industrial waste and providing a steady, efficient material flow. 

The TSD-280 can handle raw, unsorted construction, demolition and industrial waste of all sizes. 

The drum screen also efficiently separates bulky materials from the waste stream, eliminating the need for additional manual sorting. It also improves overall sorting efficiency by preventing jams and providing a more consistent flow of material, reducing downtime, and increasing productivity. 

“The TSD-280 drum screen is designed to support recycling facilities by improving operational efficiency and contributing to sustainability efforts,” said Kenny Hull, Product and Commercial Manager for Terex Recycling Systems. 

“It is an excellent choice for pre-sorting bulky construction and industrial waste, which can either be disposed of, sorted or shredded for reintroduction into the process. This results in a more consistent and efficient sorting operation, producing higher-quality recyclables with reduced contamination.”

With less extensive pre-sorting activities, the TSD-280 provides customers with higher capacity and improved material purity. 

The screening drum features a heavy duty four-wheel drive with a unique 3D design to avoid blockages. According to Terex Recycling Systems, the drum screen produces a more consistent material size, resulting in higher-quality recyclables and reduced contamination. 

The heavy duty bunker feeder measures 1.8 metres wide with 90 cm high sides, while the oversize conveyor measures 2 metres wide with impact bars. 

Additional benefits include reduced labour costs by eliminating the need for additional material handlers and operators, as well as greater environmental sustainability by contributing to a more efficient and sustainable recycling process.

The TSD-280 is available as a standalone pre-sorting line or integrated into existing and new recycling systems. The screening drum is available in a 6-metre length for a 45 tonne per hour capacity or a 7.5-metre to handle up to 60 tonnes per hour. 

Terex Recycling Systems’ largest 9-metre long option has a capacity of up to 90 tonnes.
