The gold wash plant trommel, engineered in Revelstoke, is a robust solution for alluvial gold mining and sand/gravel processing. Designed for high efficiency, it combines scrubbing, screening, and material classification in a single unit. Its modular design allows seamless integration into existing crushing and screening lines.
– Capacity: 50–200 TPH (adjustable based on feed size).
– Trommel Diameter: 1.5m–3m (customizable).
– Screen Mesh: 10mm–50mm (replaceable panels).
– Drive System: Hydraulic or electric motor (30–75 kW).
– Material: High-abrasion-resistant steel (HARDOX® lining optional).
The trommel works as a pre-classifier upstream of jaw crushers or cone crushers, reducing wear on downstream equipment. For sand/gravel plants, it replaces traditional vibrating screens, offering lower maintenance and higher throughput. Paired with a sand washer or dewatering screen, it produces clean aggregates meeting ASTM/C33 standards.
Q: Can it handle clay-bound materials?
A: Yes, the trommel includes internal scrubber bars to break up clay.
Q: What’s the lifespan of the screen panels?
A: 6–12 months, depending on abrasiveness (replaceable in <2 hours).
Q: Is it suitable for frozen gravel?
A: Yes, heated water spray options are available for cold climates like Revelstoke.
A 150 TPH operation integrated this trommel with a jaw crusher (PE600×900) and VSI crusher for manufactured sand. Results:
– Output: 0–5mm sand (35%), 5–20mm gravel (45%).
– Downtime Reduction: 30% due to fewer screen blockages.
For heavy-duty applications, this trommel ensures reliability while optimizing mineral and aggregate recovery.
