Overview: Reliable Screening Solution for Moist Topsoil

A landscaping soil supplier based in the southern United States recently tested the MTS0818 trommel screen on their site. Designed for efficient soil screening, this machine impressed the customer by consistently processing 10 tons of topsoil per hour, even with high moisture content and mixed debris.
Customer Challenge: Improve Soil Screening Efficiency
The customer needed a machine capable of handling wet, mixed topsoil that often clogged their older equipment. Key requirements included:
- Stable output of about 10 tons per hour
- Ability to screen wet soil with stones, roots, and organic matter
- Easy maintenance and mobility between job sites
Trial Highlights: Smooth Operation and Quality Output
During a two-day on-site trial, the MTS0818 trommel screen processed soil samples containing clay, small rocks, and plant debris. The machine demonstrated excellent durability and a clog-free screening process, delivering three distinct output grades:
- Fine soil (0-10 mm)
- Medium aggregates (10-50 mm)
- Oversized waste (>50 mm)
Its built-in cleaning brushes kept the drum free from buildup, ensuring continuous operation without interruptions.
Why MTS0818 Stood Out
The customer chose the MTS0818 for its:
- Robust steel frame designed for tough outdoor conditions
- Modular screen panels for quick mesh changes
- Integrated conveyors that simplify material handling
- Compact and mobile design ideal for multiple job sites
Additionally, remote technical support from the supplier ensured smooth startup and troubleshooting.
