In the field of solid waste management and resource recovery, the smooth operation of the screening process directly impacts the efficiency and stability of the entire production line. Traditional trommel screens often face the challenge of screen blockage when processing materials with high moisture content, fibers, or stickiness, leading to reduced processing capacity and increased maintenance costs. The trommel screen with brush launched by GEP ECOTECH effectively addresses this pain point through innovative design, providing a reliable screening solution for various complex materials.
Design Advantage: Built-in Brush Deblocking Ensures Screening Efficiency
The specially designed trommel screen is equipped with high-wear-resistant nylon brushes on the outside or above the screen drum, with the brushes closely adhering to the screen surface. As the drum rotates, relative motion occurs between the brushes and the screen, forcibly brushing out materials stuck in the screen apertures, achieving efficient automatic cleaning. This design offers three core advantages:
- Efficient and Continuous Screening: Brush deblocking ensures that screen apertures remain clear at all times, preventing the effective screening area from being reduced due to blockages, thereby maintaining stable processing capacity and screening accuracy.
- Reduced Downtime for Maintenance: Eliminates the need for manual shutdown to clean the screen, significantly reducing labor intensity and extending the continuous operation time of the equipment.
- Adaptability to Complex Conditions: Even with materials of high moisture, high stickiness, or high fiber content, it effectively prevents screen blinding and ensures stable equipment operation.

Wide Range of Material Applicability
The trommel screen with brush is particularly suitable for the following material scenarios prone to screen blockage:
- High Moisture Materials: Such as kitchen waste, aged waste, and wet waste. The brushes can physically peel off wet materials adhering to the screen.
- High Fiber Content Materials: Such as paper pieces, cloth, plastic film, and straw in municipal solid waste. The brushes can penetrate deep into the screen apertures to push out fibrous debris.
- Materials with High Soil Content: Such as decoration waste, construction and demolition waste recycling, and humus soil screening. The brushes can remove adhering soil clumps, preventing blockages.
- Fine Screening Requirements: When the screen aperture size is small (e.g., below 10mm), the brushes effectively prevent fine particles from clogging the apertures, ensuring screening accuracy.
