A trommel system, is a rotating screen or seive used for separating in this case unwanted prouct such as plastics and seeds from soil media. This equipment is widly used in the sand & soil and the mining industries for grading sands, stone, gravel and pinebark for mulch mixes.
There is a sloping revolving cylindrical drum covered in fine mesh that is driven directly by a gear motor. Heavier applications the rotating screen sits on wheels which are driven by a motor and gearbox.
The trommel in this case is fed material by an elevating conveyor that is loaded by dumping bags of waste product into a loading hopper.
As it rotates, small-sized materials pass through the mesh screen onto the elevating conveyor for loading into bulker bags or trailers. The larger materials will pass through the other end of the drum and drop into waste bins.
This light weight machine designed for a palm nursery separates waste and old palm seeds from the soil media in a fast and effective way allowing the soil to be re-used.
Trommel systems enable nurseries to clean up their waste soil heaps so that growing media is recycled, which helps the enviroment and is a sustainable process. It is most suitable where new potting media is hard to obtain, as in remote or island locations.
Wherever a fine product needs separating from a coarser product this machine is the answer.
Trommel systems can be used in many different applications. Various size mesh along the length of the rotating cylinder enables grading of particle sizes of a product. Structures are modified according to its usage.
C-Mac produces a quality and proven trommel system. Trommels are customisable to suit your applicable materials.
Specifications:
This trommel system designed for nurseries is very efficient, and ideal for waste management in plant nurseries. Gives nurserymen the opportunity to be environmentally sustainable and the ability to get rid of that soil waste heap full of rubbish in the back corner of your nursery.

*[Owner]* An industrial laundry system service company needed repairs and redesign done to their tooling. C-Mac made changes to the tooling to make access and ease of use to decrease service down times.
*[Service Manager]* An industrial fan service company had a failure of a major shopping centre air conditioning fan/ blower. C-Mac repaired the unit within a 24hr turn around for minimum downtime.
*[Owner/Manager]* A major food manufacturer specializing in tomato sauce had a filling machine breakdown. The machine was brought to C-Mac and repaired in 24hrs for minimum downtime of the production line costing $5,000 per hour.
*[RAAF - Warrant Officer]* Airfield support staff required a portable sandbagging frame and requested a design, prototype and trials at no cost. There was nothing suitable on the market i.e. made in Australia. "Sandbagging Frames":materials-handling/1-bagging-equipment#silt-bagging-frame are now on the national procurement data base and some probably overseas at different war zones.
*[Mechanical Design Engineer]* An automotive transmission design customer needed help with designing an automatic transmission gear prototype. We suggested and engineered a more cost effective and practical way for the mass production stage.
*[Nursery Manager]* At an exhibition saw our self tracking nursery trailers and indicated he had a costly issue transporting large (heavy) pots containing advanced trees. Existing method was a bobcat. C-Mac designed and quoted for the manufacture of a Self Tracking “Low Loader”. His comment on the first day of using "Low Loader trailer":nursery-equipment/7-trailers/#low-loader-self-tracking-trailer “Can now move 100 litre pots with trees, 150 metres in 1 hr and not get a sore back”.
*[Purchasing Officer]* A mining design and machining company needed help with machining components urgently as they were too busy to keep up with the demand. C-Mac machined the components so the deadline could be met.
*[General Manager]* Customer had to submit a proposal and compete against other countries for the manufacturing facility. C-Mac submitted drawings to show there was space in existing plant to install the new process and to comply with all Australian OH&S Standards. Working together with customer to submit proposal to the Head Office overseas WON the contract. Project was a success meeting 6month lead time and budget.
*[Nursery Owner]* Needed a specific Potting & Mixing machine. for his yuccas nursery, but the problem was it was no longer manufactured. From his description and specifications our engineers designed and modelled in 3D software his requirements. "Potting Machine":nursery-equipment/3-potting-machines/ was manufactured and fully tested with potting media in our workshop, video was then sent to customer who was very pleased with the results. Machine disassembled and freighted interstate and installed.
*[Maintenance Engineer]* An industrial hydraulic fitting manufacturer had problems with gear and shaft breakages with their machinery. They also had problems repairing and maintaining. C-Mac offered to repair and maintain their machinery on-site instead of having to permanently employ fitters.
