The Screencore range of Orbiter trommels is available in a variety of sizes, with features making them ideal for handling virgin rock, CDR, and landfill waste, landscaping, and organic material handling applications. The new Orbiter 206R combines precision and power for a highly focused and productive solution suited to the needs of larger producers. 

Screencore's range of modern mobile crushing, screening, stockpiling, and blending solutions is well-suited to aggregate and compost production, along with recycling waste and construction materials. In addition to processing virgin rock and recycling construction materials, the Screencore Orbiter trommel range has also proven to be ideal for processing organic materials. 

Screencore's Orbiter trommels

The Screencore range of Orbiter trommels consists of three models, ranging from the powerful yet compact 125 to the 237. The Orbiter 125 is designed for work sites where space is at a premium and is ideal for contractors who need to relocate quickly. The Orbiter 175 delivers high productivity from a compact chassis and features hydraulic folding conveyors and drum angle adjustment with a large infeed hopper and a Cat 130-hp engine. 

Building on the success of the Orbiter trommels is the Orbiter 206R. "The 206R is the very latest Screencore trommel, and we are genuinely excited about it. Designed to deliver high levels of mobility, cost effectiveness, and, ultimately, profitability for its users. It encompasses all the latest Screencore developed and patented features," explains Ciarán Ryan. "Its 6 metre drum is interchangeable with all other similar models, meaning it can seamlessly fit into an existing fleet and enable the utilization of any existing stock of spare drums."

Designed for high production with flexibility at its core 

As well as its expansive drum, the 31,000kg trommel comes with a 7-cubic-metre hopper capacity with a 1200mm heavy belt. It also has massive throat depth and a variable feed angle for unencumbered feed. Independent and radio-controlled belt speed controls and a large PLC interface with full-auto functionality have been designed for ease of flexible operation. For enhanced mobility, a powerful Cat engine provides the oomph, whilst the 4000mm tracks come with a two-speed drive and remote control. The 180-degree radial fines conveyor has been developed for enhanced stockpiling capabilities and comes complete with radio remote and auto-functionality.

"Screencore continuously engages with our dealers and end-users to innovate and refine our products," explains director Ciarán Ryan. "As a result, we have developed a range of Orbiter trommel screens and stockpilers that are specifically designed for the efficient handling and processing of materials. Like all our products, these new additions prioritize ease of transport and user-friendliness, ensuring that they, and the new Orbiter 206R, meet the practical needs of our customers while setting new standards in the industry."
