TS620M Trommel Screen
Designed for Biomass | Compost | Green Waste applications the M&K TS620M Trommel Screen is a Static Electric Trommel designed to accept Doppstadt | Pronar | Terex 620 Drums.
Biomass producers worldwide face a growing operational challenge when relying on mobile trommels for waste wood processing, whether for biomass fuel production or animal bedding manufacture. While mobile screening units provide on-site flexibility, they are often burdened by high diesel consumption, hydraulic system maintenance costs, and restricted throughput capacity.
In high-volume biomass operations, these inefficiencies directly impact production cost per tonne, energy usage, and overall plant profitability.
To maximise versatility, many operators have invested heavily in multiple scroll drums with varying mesh sizes to handle different grades of waste wood. It is not uncommon for facilities to hold £50,000–£60,000+ in spare trommel drums to support various biomass screening applications, from fine bedding material to biomass fuel fractions.
However, this creates a classic sunk cost barrier. Although static electric trommels offer significantly higher throughput, improved screening efficiency, lower fuel consumption, and reduced maintenance compared to diesel-powered mobile trommels, operators are reluctant to write off their existing drum inventory investment.
Industry estimates suggest that more than 500 biomass processing facilities globally continue to operate mobile trommel systems with substantial spare drum holdings. As energy costs rise and sustainability targets tighten, the economic case for transitioning to electric waste wood screening systems becomes increasingly compelling — yet legacy investment continues to anchor many producers to less efficient mobile technology.
Static Electric Trommel with Doppstadt | Pronar | Terex 620 Drum Compatibility
This interchangeable drum design allows biomass producers to:
- Upgrade from mobile diesel-hydraulic to static electric operation
- Utilise 100% of their existing Doppstadt | Pronar | Terex drum inventory
- Protect capital investment in spare drums (typically £10,000-£15,000 per drum)
- Switch between applications (biomass fuel grades A/B/C, animal bedding) in under 2 hours
- Eliminate dependency on a single mobile unit for multiple screening requirements
This innovation solves the industry’s most significant barrier to adopting more efficient static processing technology.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. M&K engineered the drum mounting system to exact Doppstadt SM 620 specifications. Any SM 620 drum (any mesh size, any age) fits directly. We’ve successfully installed systems using customer drums from 2015-2024 vintage. Pronar & Terex Drums also
Yes. The interchangeable design accepts both M&K proprietary drums and Doppstadt SM 620 drums. Many customers use Doppstadt drums for standard applications and add M&K drums for specialised mesh requirements.
Typically under 2 hours for a complete drum swap, including safety checks.
Significantly. Current UK rates: diesel ~£1.50/L vs commercial electricity ~£0.15/kWh. The M&K 15kW motor costs just £2.25/hour to run versus £37.50/hour for diesel—a 94% reduction in energy costs. Plus zero maintenance on fuel systems, filters, tanks, etc
