Tricon’s Terex track trommel stands out as game-changer

Able to be equipped with a variety of drums and screen sizes, the MDS M412 Mobile Track Trommel, available from Tricon Equipment, stands out in the crowd

In the world of heavy-duty material processing, the Terex MDS M412 Mobile Track Trommel stands out as a game-changer.

Known for its versatility and efficiency, this trommel is setting new standards in the industry, Tricon Equipment says, catering to a wide range of applications from quarrying to construction and demolition waste recycling.

Unmatched versatility

The MDS M412 Mobile Track Trommel is designed to handle a diverse array of materials.  Whether it’s processing riprap, armour rock, overburden or blasted rock, Tricon says this trommel can tackle the job with ease. It is particularly well-suited for quarrying, mining and handling construction and demolition waste, as well as recycling applications.

One of the key features that sets the M412 apart is its ability to be equipped with different types of drums and screen sizes. This flexibility ensures the trommel can be tailored to specific application requirements, providing optimal performance regardless of the material being processed.

Exceptional performance

Boasting superior productivity, it is capable of screening rocks as large as 800mm (32”), a feat unmatched by any other mobile screen on the market, according to Tricon.

As a world leader in mobile heavy-duty trommels, MDS ensures that its products complement customers’ existing crushing and screening fleets. The M412 works seamlessly as a primary processing unit, pre-crushing and screening –  enhancing the overall efficiency of the material handling process.

The trommel’s heavy-duty rotating drum offers a unique cleaning mechanism. As materials tumble and scrub against each other and the drum walls, they undergo a thorough cleaning process, resulting in a much cleaner output product. This mechanism is particularly effective in handling clay-bound rock and materials mixed with other sticky substances, ensuring a consistent and high-quality output.

Weighing 21.5 tonnes and encompassing a Cat 2.2 50kW engine, the M412 can produce up to 300 tonnes per hour.

Optimal Drum Configurations

Two drum configurations are offered on the M412 to meet different operational needs. Customers can choose between a drum frame with changeable screens or a fully welded drum. Tricon recommends the drum frame with changeable screens for free-flowing or abrasive applications, offering the flexibility to easily change screen sizes as needed. On the other hand, the fully welded drum is designed for handling dirty material and is compatible with drum cleaners, which keep the drum openings clear even in the harshest conditions. This ensures year-round screening capability and consistent performance.

The fully welded drum options come in various sizes, including 75mm (3”), 100mm (4”), 125mm (5”), and 150mm (6”), providing further customisation based on the material requirements. The drum cleaners are specifically engineered to maintain clear drum openings, ensuring uninterrupted operation and maximum productivity.

Mobility and Convenience

One of the significant advantages of the M412 Tracked Trommel is its mobility. The machine comes complete with fold-out stockpiling conveyors, making it easy to move around a quarry or from one site to another. This mobility ensures that the M412 can be quickly deployed to different locations, maximising its utility across various projects.

Available from Tricon Equipment, the business says the M412 Tracked Trommel is more than just a piece of equipment, but rather a powerhouse of productivity and efficiency.

Its ability to handle a wide range of materials, coupled with superior cleaning mechanisms and innovative feed systems, makes it an essential tool in the quarrying, mining, construction, demolition waste and recycling sectors. Whether dealing with light materials or heavy demolition waste, the M412 delivers consistent, high-quality results, ensuring that professionals can meet the demands of their projects with confidence.

In a market where efficiency, versatility, and reliability are paramount, the MDS M412 Mobile Track Trommel stands out as a leader, revolutionising the way materials are processed and setting new benchmarks for industry, Tricon says. Tricon Equipment also stocks the M413, M515 and M518R trommels.
