SCREENING AND PROCESSING

MDS trommels in action. The trommels are new to South Africa.

High-efficiency MDS mobile trommels enter the market

From rubble to riprap, a complete range of high-efficiency trommels that are set to change the way screening is done in South Africa.

I t’s a big feather in the cap for ELB Equipment to have completed the minerals processing equipment cycle locally with the introduction of MDS equipment. MDS, a Terex brand, added a complete range of high-ef ficiency trommels that could change screening in South Africa. ELB Equipment’s own Powerscreen scalpers and screens already dominate

the local market, but the addition of MDS, specifically their trommels, is bound to close the circuit for miners who are already familiar with high-quality mineral processing offerings. MDS track, static and recycling trommels, as well as apron feeders, are quick and can handle a wide range of media including blasted rock and riprap, as well as varying substrates such as clay, limestone and even recycled concrete rubble. The new trommels’ charm lies in the ability to speed up processing and ability to handle oversized materials. Bigger volumes ELB Equipment divisional director, Wakefield Harding, says the range of static and tracked trommels is unmatched in the local market and is simply not available as standard production machines elsewhere. This means it will introduce a new way

“As a result of this trusted combination, and with our footprint throughout southern Africa, we expect the MDS offering to expand quickly across all mining types and into the growing recycling markets.”
