Designed for medium-sized operations, the M518R Compact Recycling Trommel can handle a range of materials, including compost, green waste, biomass, municipal waste and more.

It features a 180-degree radial fines conveyor and provides a radial stockpile capacity of up to 650 cu m, and is said to be suitable for use on sites with limited space and is easy to transport.

“Its compact dimensions and efficient folding mechanism of the radial conveyor ensure straightforward transportation, fitting neatly onto a standard 26-foot-long trailer,” said MDS.

“Additionally, notable improvements in service access compared to the previous generation set a high standard for accessibility and maintenance ease. Overall, these features solidify the M518R as a highly efficient option within its class.”

Key feature of the M518R include a remote-controlled conveyor swivel, which enables operators to adjust positioning during operation. According to the manufacturer, this functionality helps to minimise downtime and enhances productivity.

Commenting on the product’s launch, Steven Keenan, Engineering Manager at MDS, said: “At MDS, we are continuously striving to innovate and produce machines that give our customers the edge they need to be successful in their own operations.

“Our new M518R machine is a good example of this and provides a versatile screening solution that can adapt to diverse operational requirements while bringing efficiency and value to recycling operations worldwide.”
