MDS, a manufacturer of specialist screening equipment, has introduced the SCRAPMASTER 400, a powerful new machine tailored to the demands of the scrap and metals recycling industry.
This latest model builds on the robust foundation of the successful M412, which was designed for screening a range of materials, from lightweight substances to heavy demolition waste. After extensive research and customer consultations, MDS has refined the platform to create an ideal solution for scrap metal screening.
The SCRAPMASTER 400 is engineered for heavy-duty scrap processing, featuring a durable, wear-resistant push feeder built to handle abrasive materials, a rugged drum frame with customisable screen options from 25 to 150mm (1–6 inches), and an apron-style conveyor on the oversize material output, enhancing durability specifically for scrap applications.
The machine is equipped with a three-ply, heavy-duty fines belt for added strength, along with auto-reverse functionality and adjustable drum rotation speeds to meet varied processing needs.
Conor Hegarty, general manager MDS, said, “Up until now, many customers have had to rely on traditional recycling trommels or scalpers for the scrap and metal recycling segment, which often lacked the durability required for processing metals. MDS identified the need for a machine specifically dedicated to handling the toughest of tasks.
“MDS products excel in the toughest applications, and we have leveraged our existing heavy-duty technology to produce a machine that improves scrap processing efficiency and reliability. The addition of the SCRAPMASTER 400 to the MDS product range underlines our position as leaders in specialty screening applications.”
