COVER STORY

HIGH EFFICIENCY MOBILE TROMMELS AVAILABLE IN SA Crushing and screening giant, ELB Equipment, has completed the minerals processing equipment cycle with the addition of a complete range of high efficiency trommels that are set to change the way screening is done in South Africa. I ts Powerscreen scalpers and screens already dominate the local market and the addition of the world’s leading trommel manufacturer, MDS, is bound to close the circuit for miners who are already familiar with the ELB Equipment way and its high-quality minerals processing offerings that are predominantly derived from the Terex Corporation. Volumes up ELB Equipment Divisional Director, Wakefield Harding, says the range of static and tracked trommels are unmatched in the local market and are simply not available as standard production machines elsewhere. This means it will introduce

a totally new way of doing things in the local market and is bound to turn up production volumes while increasing profitability on many new and existing plants in Southern Africa.

Trommels have the ability to separate up to four streams of aggregates quickly and efficiently starting with soil and fines at the

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. But, most importantly, it is the new trommels’ ability to speed up processing and ability to handle oversize materials that is most exciting for the local market.
