DAGYEE Mining & Mineral Processing Rotary Drum Screen: Engineered for the World's Toughest Applications

Externally rotary fed drum screen description
Mining and mineral processing operations generate some of the most challenging wastewater streams for screening equipment, characterized by high solids concentrations, abrasive particles, variable flow rates, and often remote locations with limited maintenance resources. The DAGYEE Mining Rotary Drum Screen is purpose-built to excel in these demanding conditions. From tailings management and process water recovery to acid mine drainage treatment and mineral concentrate dewatering, this robust system delivers reliable performance where equipment failure can mean significant production losses and environmental consequences.
Externally rotary fed drum screen principle
Unlike conventional screens that rely on simple size exclusion, our ultra-fine system employs a multi-stage separation process. Wastewater is first introduced through a hydrodynamic distribution system that eliminates turbulence and ensures laminar flow across the entire screening surface. As the drum rotates at an optimized slow speed (typically 1-4 RPM), particles encounter the precision screen media where both mechanical sieving and surface filtration occur. The ultra-fine wedge wire creates a true surface filter where particles smaller than the nominal aperture can be retained through bridging and cake filtration effects. A sophisticated multi-zone cleaning system operates continuously, with each zone optimized for different cleaning requirements: preliminary rinsing, high-pressure dislodgement, and final surface preparation. This meticulous approach maintains consistent filtration performance without the efficiency losses typical of fine screening equipment.
