custom designed to be less than 25 kg per
piece, which provides safe handling and
fast implementation.
The re-engineered trommel frames
use modular design and standardized
construction principles that produces a
frame with less mass while maintaining
maximum structural integrity. The FEA in-
sures the trommels are structurally sound
and will offer excellent service life.
The custom-designed screening me-
dia are fitted to the trommel using friction
grip rails that use no extra parts, such as
bolts or pins. This means panel fitting and
maintenance activities can be carried out
quickly and safely using simple tools, re-
ducing the time it takes to perform routine
maintenance activities, the company said.
Discrete Element Analysis (DEM)
software, which is available to customers
through FLSmidth, simulates the opera-
tion of the trommel and allows an analy-
sis of pulp flow through the trommel. The
company's engineers can advise on how to
optimize pulp flow through the trommel
to improve both throughput and wear life
of the screens.
"We are excited to deliver this inno-
vative solution to the market because we
believe it will be a key component for in-
crease capacity for our customers," said
Brent Stokes, head of wear parts and con-
sumables for FLSmidth. "We recognized
the customer's need for a simple to use
and dependable trommel solution and
we responded. These are suitable to any
mining operation across the globe and
will deliver on our promise of sustainable
productivity enhancement."
The trommel chassis are largely pre-en-
gineered, but can be custom made to suit
specific requirements. Global sourcing
plans are already in place and, in combi-
nation with the modular features incorpo-
rated in the new designs, means trommel
chassis can be fabricated closer to custom-
ers' sites, providing faster delivery.
