India generates over 62 million tons of municipal solid waste (MSW) annually, with only 30% recycled, leading to overburdened landfills and environmental challenges like methane emissions. DCC Group, a leading Trommel manufacturer, is revolutionizing recycling plants with innovative mobile trommel screens. These portable trommels and trommel machines enhance waste segregation efficiency, supporting zero waste management and India’s circular economy while aligning with the Swachh Bharat Mission.

The Power of Mobile Trommel Screens

A mobile trommel screen is a rotating, cylindrical drum with perforations that sorts waste by size, making it ideal for recycling plants. DCC’s trommel machines, capable of processing 10-100 tons per hour, use robust designs with interchangeable mesh sizes (20-80 mm) to segregate recyclables, organics, and refuse-derived fuel (RDF) with 90% accuracy. Unlike stationary systems, the portable trommel offers mobility, allowing deployment at multiple sites, reducing transport emissions by 0.3 tons of CO2 per ton of waste, as noted in industry sources like zerowasterecycler.com.

In recycling plants, mobile trommels handle fresh waste, separating fines (soil, sand) from larger materials like plastics and paper. DCC’s Bangalore facility, for instance, processes thousands of tons daily, diverting up to 90% of waste from landfills, as seen in their Ghazipur project, which reclaimed 3.05 acres. The sorted materials feed into composting, recycling, and RDF production, supporting sustainable urban development.

Enhancing Recycling Plant Efficiency

As a premier Trommel manufacturer, DCC integrates advanced features into their mobile trommel screens. Self-cleaning brushes and durable iron spring wire mesh minimize clogging, ensuring continuous operation. The single-wheel drive system simplifies maintenance, reducing downtime and costs. These trommel machines are versatile, handling both wet and dry waste, from municipal to construction debris, aligning with India’s Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016.

The mobile trommel’s portability is a game-changer for decentralized waste management. By processing waste on-site, DCC reduces logistics costs and emissions, making it ideal for smart cities like Delhi and Bangalore. The sorted recyclables, such as plastics, are converted into granules, while organics are composted using OWC machines, and non-recyclables fuel waste-to-energy plants, cutting fossil fuel use by 0.54 tons of CO2 per ton.

Challenges and Innovations

Inconsistent waste composition and mesh clogging pose challenges, but DCC addresses these with automated cleaning systems and modular designs. The global waste management market, projected to reach USD 2.1 trillion by 2027, offers opportunities for DCC to integrate AI-driven monitoring and IoT for real-time performance optimization, enhancing mobile trommel efficiency.
