The Second Version of the Trommel!

The Trommel was good, but this Trommel is better,

we learnt from the first Trommel that airflow was required to move light product (leaves) from blocking the rotating perforated drum, with that information the first update was developed, this version takes what we learnt from it and kicks it up a notch.

The main differences are,

1. Motor Placement.
2. Completely Enclosed Drum.
3. Adjustable Output.

This new system is fed by an elevator much like the previous version with airflow over the top of it supplied by duel fans.

The new system now feeds into a secondary chute, which allows the output angle to change which changes the whole systems flow rate.

Testing is on-going and so is improvement!

In 2022 the Trommel was first added to the standard processing of pre-hulled pistachios, there were some issues.

we made some changed for the 2023 Plant!

The Trommel has had some major changes include, side covers; that can be seen in the original product photo

The addition of fans which agitate the airflow through the drum. This lifts light material such as leaves which block the holes, further to this secondary sheets have been placed on the inside that allow for the adjustment of hole diameters.
