Screw-Trommel Feeders
Combined screw feeder and rotating screen for high-dust/sticky material processing.

Product Overview
The Screw-Trommel Feeder is an integrated processing unit combining precision screw feeding with rotary screening for challenging high-dust and adhesive materials. Compliant with GB/T 36865-2018 (Spiral Conveyor Standards) and GB/T 14521.5-1993 (Terminology for Screening Equipment), this dual-function system eliminates material buildup while ensuring continuous operation in mining, waste recycling, and mineral processing applications.
