MDS launches compact recycling trommel

Screening equipment manufacturer MDS, a brand of Norwalk, Connecticut-based Terex Corp., has launched the M518R compact recycling trommel, which includes a new suite of features and benefits designed to elevate performance and efficiency.

MDS says the M518R is able to screen a variety of materials, including compost, biomass, green and municipal waste and more. Well-suited for small to medium-sized operations and contractors—particularly those with limited space and a need for easy transportation, the trommel features a 180-degree radial fines conveyor and offers efficient material handling, providing a radial stockpile capacity of up to 650 cubic meters.

The machine’s compact dimensions and efficient folding mechanism of the radial conveyor ensure straightforward transportation, fitting neatly onto a standard 26-foot-long trailer, the company says, adding that improvements in service access compared to the previous generation set a high standard for accessibility and ease of maintenance.

The M518R features a remote-controlled conveyor swivel, enabling operators to adjust positioning effortlessly while minimizing downtime and enhancing productivity.

“At MDS, we are continuously striving to innovate and produce machines that give our customers the edge they need to be successful in their own operations,” says MDS Engineering Manager Steven Keenan. “Our new M518R machine is a good example of this and provides a versatile screening solution that can adapt to diverse operational requirements while bringing efficiency and value to recycling operations worldwide.”
