Trommel Washing Drum

A trommel washing drum is an industrial washing system that removes clay, dust and fine particles from ores and aggregates, cleaning the material and preparing it for the next processing stages.

Product description

Trommel Washing Drum

High-Performance Cleaning and Material Preparation

Trommel washing drums are industrial washing systems used in mining and aggregate processing plants to remove clay, dust and unwanted fine particles from materials. Their rotating drum design and pressurised water spray clean the material effectively, contributing to the efficiency of the downstream production stages.

KRIOS Engineering offers project-specific trommel washing drum solutions with a robust shell, suited to different capacities and plant requirements.

Working Principle

As the feed material advances through the inclined, rotating drum, it is kept in constant motion and the particles rub against each other. Pressurised water nozzles inside the drum help to separate clay and fine particles from the surface of the material.

After washing, the cleaned material is directed to the discharge section, while the water and the separated fines are removed from the system through suitable drainage components.

Technical Specifications

  • Drum diameter: 1,200–3,000 mm (made to order)
  • Drum length: 3–10 m
  • Capacity: 50–300 t/h
  • Shell material: Abrasion-resistant steel (Hardox or equivalent)
  • Drive system: Geared motor
  • Washing system: Cleaning with pressurised water nozzles
  • Separation and discharge: Discharge screens for solid–liquid separation
