Screencore introduces new Orbiter 206R trommel
The Screencore range of Orbiter trommels is available in a variety of sizes, encompassing 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 requirements of larger producers.
Screencore has since its inception used its extensive expertise to develop and introduce a range of modern mobile crushing, screening, stockpiling and blending solutions. The range has in a relatively short period found that its modern productivity and environmentally friendly attributes are highly suited to aggregate and compost production as well as recycling waste and construction materials on a truly global scale. In addition to the processing of virgin rock and the recycling of construction materials, the Screencore Orbiter trommel range has also proved to be ideal for processing organic materials.
As well as the UK and Ireland, the Screencore Orbiter trommel range, as well as other members of the Screencore product range, has rapidly gained recognition globally, particularly in Australasia, Africa, Europe and the United States. The Screencore range of Orbiter trommels consists of three models, ranging from the powerful yet compact 125, to the 237, which is aimed at the requirements of larger producers. The Orbiter 125 is designed for work sites where space is at a premium and is ideal for a contractor who needs to relocate quickly and often. 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 130hp engine.
Building on the success of these 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 and will be released in Europe over the coming months,” explains Ciarán Ryan. “Its 6m - 20’ x 6’ - 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.”
The Orbiter 206R is designed to produce. As well as its expansive drum, the 31,000kg trommel comes with a 7m3 hopper capacity with a 1200mm heavy belt. It also has massive throat depth and 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 two speed drive and remote control. The 180o radial fines conveyor has been developed for enhanced stock piling 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."
