Hercules’ new HT182C heavy-duty trommel

Stelex Construction Equipment, supplier of the original Hercules range of heavy duty trommels, has launched the new HT182C heavy-duty trommel as part of its standard product range. The HT182C uses a chain drive system for the barrel rotation in place of the standard live drive system that was introduced in 2005. The live drive system has been a huge success and extremely reliable but the reduced cost of the chain drive will hopefully make it an attractive alternative to customers on a tighter budget

664 Stelex Construction Equipment, supplier of the original Hercules range of heavy duty trommels, has launched the new HT182C heavy-duty trommel as part of its standard product range.

The HT182C uses a chain drive system for the barrel rotation in place of the standard live drive system that was introduced in 2005.

The live drive system has been a huge success and extremely reliable but the reduced cost of the chain drive will hopefully make it an attractive alternative to customers on a tighter budget while still seeing the benefit of a heavy-duty trammel, says Stelex, which “is committed to continuous product development.”

The new HT182C includes many improved design features to “ensure customers of the reliability and efficiency that they have come to expect.”

The HT182C still maintains the heavy-duty tag and offers a range of hopper, product chute and barrel options to suit a customer’s project requirements. It is designed to be mounted on concrete walls or on a steel frame.

The HT182C is ideal for all rip-rap, armour stone, cleaning and sizing projects, and the length of the barrel can be designed to suit the project and the number of products required.

Chutes can be added under the trommel to separate the products or to feed a conveyor for example.

The reciprocating feeder is designed to prevent bridging of large stone sizes and also to prevent spillage. Liner plates are fitted to extend the life of the machine.

“We moved away from the traditional designs of the trommel to include important changes that improve the operation and also keep the machine at the right market price. It was clear that some customers still wanted the option of a chain drive system over the newer live drive system and now they have that option,” says telex.
