I was looking for a screening plant but they are called Trommel, no wonder I could not find any information on them.

Great job on the trommel Paul..Sorts very good and very simple You could use some vibrating motors to help the material slide down the shoots ..I am currentley working on one myself and getting close to finishing..i will post some new picks on my thread

The use of your Duratoy conveyer & hopper would be perfect to feed this trommel... then 3 bruder conveyers on the sides to fill trks with sized material. :cool:

Good to see Paul. :cool:

Will you hang the trough/feeder spout from the conveyer? Can you purchase just the conveyer (what's shown) by itself? If so, much of a price reduction?

Looking forward to the video... 8 - 10mins, I wanna thoroughly see it work. :D

As it rotates it hits the bumps which sends vibrations through the unit which in turn shakes the stubborn dirt down into the drum. It also sounds a bit more "machine like" with a steady rhythm to it.
