Trommel fines treatment & recovery

Trommel fines are produced by dry processing waste in large rotating cylinders called trommels. 2ZLF's efficient dry waste screening and recycling process produces smaller sized 'trommel fines' typically comprised of inert, non-hazardous material, typically including: aggregates, glass, soil, stones, wood and ceramics.  Where trommel fines were once sent to landfill, the high rate non-hazardous landfill tax makes landfill diversion environmentally and financially desirable.

Trommel fines cover a wide range of wastes – 2ZLF can treat some wastes but generally they must follow the 3 rules:-

1. Include a recoverable mineral fraction (sand, stone, glass)
2. Not include too much water-absorbing materials (paper)
3. Not odorous

2ZLF currently is processing MBT heavies from a municipal MRF. We recover the following materials:-

• Fine aggregate <3mm (glass and sand)
• Coarse aggregate 3mm-10mm (glass and stone)
• Rubbish (to energy recovery)

The 2ZLF recycling plant benefits from a full water treatment system which ensures that heavy metals and oils are removed from the wash water continuously.

• F2ZLF collect this material on a just in time basis from our client as they have little or no storage space.
