A Trommel Screen separates waste by particle size using a rotating drum with holes — it works best for separating fine organics and soil from larger fractions. A Ballistic Separator separates by both size and material behaviour (2D flat vs. 3D chunky) using oscillating paddles — ideal for separating films, paper, and dense plastics from mixed dry waste. In a complete MSW plant, both are often used in tandem: Trommel first, then Ballistic Separator.

Staffing depends on the waste composition, automation level, picking requirements, shift plan and local safety procedures. Duromech reviews the proposed process flow and operating model before recommending operators, sorters, supervisors and maintenance coverage for a specific plant.

Wet MSW can be processed, but moisture changes flow behaviour, screening efficiency and power demand. The line should be configured from representative seasonal samples, with suitable feeding, anti-wrapping measures, access for cleaning and covered material handling where the site requires it.

Bio-Mining (also called legacy waste remediation) is the process of excavating and processing old municipal solid waste from landfills that may be decades old. It's required when: (1) a dump yard is nearing capacity and needs to be reclaimed, (2) leachate is contaminating groundwater, or (3) SWM Rules 2016 mandate clearance of existing dumps. Duromech provides complete bio-mining solutions including excavation, trommel screening, and end-product (RDF, compost, inert fill) management.

There is no responsible one-size-fits-all ROI figure. The result depends on feed quality, uptime, recovery rates, tipping fees, product offtake, labour, power and disposal costs. Duromech can prepare a site-specific process and equipment proposal; commercial assumptions should be validated by the project owner.

Lead time depends on capacity, custom engineering, bought-out components, civil readiness and site access. A realistic schedule is issued after the process flow, equipment scope and layout are agreed; commissioning dates are then coordinated with manufacturing and civil milestones.
