Edge Innovate expanded its product offerings with the launch of the TRT516 track trommel, a mid-size category trommel screening plant.

The trommel was originally unveiled to attendees at the recent USCC Compost 2018 demo event in Atlanta.

According to the company, the trommel is targeted at customers who operate at sites with space restrictions and regularly reposition their trommel. Additionally, the company says the TRT516 is the ideal screening solution for the processing of compost, topsoil, domestic household waste, and construction and demolition waste with its combination of design and ability to produce fine materials.

With hydraulic-folding product conveyors, the self-propelled TRT516 track trommel has a quick transport procedure, allowing operators to move from site to site. Similar to the company’s wheel-mounted TRM516, the TRT516 is an end conveyor trommel design that ensures against contamination of screened product from material crossover. Large oversized and radial fines discharge conveyors also provide a range of stockpiling abilities, the company says.

Design features include a 16-ft.-long drum, a four-wheel direct-drive system, a variable speed drum and feeder conveyor, and a 180-degree radial fines conveyor fitted as standard. Additionally, the TRT516 is fitted with load-sensing controls as a standard feature.

The drum and feeder will work together to prevent overloading using pressure transducer technology, the company adds. Hydraulic pressure being used to drive the drum is constantly monitored, which is automatically adjusted when needed.

Additionally, the TRT516 trommel line offers a number of add-on options, including a remote tipping grid, magnetic head drums, air knives and various screens and drum types.
