The trommel screen ’ s conveyors have the ability to lower parallel to the ground giving the operator more control over dust and wind , while also allowing for easier maintenance area access . The new unit features convenient controls through the machine display mounted on the control panel or through a remote control . Changing product sizing can also be done quickly with the quickchange screen design .
“ We focused on the needs of the operator when designing the new TR5300 trommel screen ,” explains Jeff Bradley , product manager for recycling and forestry equipment at Vermeer . “ The unit has four programmable presets that allow the operator to save settings for different material types , or the operator can quickly make adjustments on the fly based on incoming materials .
There are also several features that make the TR5300 easy to adjust and service , including access doors around the engine compartment and dual-hinged doors on both sides of the drum for ease of maintenance and machine inspection . These service doors give full-length access to the trommel drum at ground level .”
The Vermeer TR5300 trommel screen ’ s unique chain-driven direct drum drive permits the drum to lift off the cog for service . This top-load design allows the drum to be quickly changed out with proper equipment . This design also makes changing out the bolt-on sprockets fast and efficient .
