In the demanding environments of Papua New Guinea’s (PNG) mining sector, operators need equipment that can perform consistently, even in the most challenging conditions.
That’s where the MDS M515 heavy duty trommel proves its value. As the flagship model in the MDS range, this robust machine is designed to handle tough terrain, sticky material, and oversized rocks – all while delivering high productivity and minimal downtime.
With a 20-tonne hopper capacity and a throughput of over 400 tonnes per hour, it’s ideal for processing material in remote or rugged locations like those often found across PNG.
The heavy-duty drum, combined with interchangeable screen panels, enables the separation of rocks into up to four different sizes, providing greater flexibility for customers dealing with varied feed material.
One of the key challenges faced by operations in PNG is the region’s unpredictable and wet weather. Traditional screening equipment can become clogged or jammed by clay and wet material. However, the M515’s integrated drum cleaner helps keep operations running smoothly, even in harsh weather conditions. This feature is critical for minimising unplanned downtime and maintaining production targets.
The M515 excels in producing multiple product streams simultaneously, including fines, mid-size and oversized material. It is suitable for a wide range of applications, from riprap production to rock cleaning ahead of crushing. Whether it’s blasted rock, overburden, limestone or granite, this machine offers the versatility to adapt to different materials and job requirements.
Mobility is another standout feature. The all-terrain track system enables the machine to move easily across rough ground and between job sites, minimising logistical challenges and reducing equipment downtime.
With extended fines and mid-product conveyors, the M515 also increases stockpile heights, reducing the need for frequent material handling and boosting on-site efficiency.
Designed with serviceability in mind, the M515 features a swing-out engine and access platform for simplified maintenance. This enhanced accessibility ensures quicker turnaround times for routine servicing – a significant benefit in remote mining sites where maintenance resources may be limited.
Safety is also a key focus across all MDS M515 units. Each machine is delivered with fully guarded external conveyors, significantly reducing the risk of accidental contact with moving parts and ensuring compliance with Australian safety standards.
The M515 comes with the assurance of Lincom Group’s after-sales service and support, providing customers with expert advice, fast access to spare parts, and responsive technical assistance to keep operations running smoothly.
With its rugged build, intelligent design, and high-performance features, this heavy duty trommel is well-suited to meet PNG’s operational and environmental demands. More than just a screening solution, it’s a reliable workhorse that helps operators maximise throughput, reduce downtime and stay ahead of challenging site conditions.
