SCREENING equipment specialist MDS is returning to Hillhead this year with a live working demonstration of its M515 trommel and a static display of the M300 scalping grid.
The M515 will be showcased in Crusher Alley, where visitors can see the machine operating in real time. The M515 is suited for producing riprap and recovering rock material from clay and other cohesive materials.
The latest iteration of the M515 incorporates several design improvements. A swing-out engine arrangement and dedicated access platform aim to simplify maintenance, while extended fines and mid-product conveyors increase stockpile capacity. The revised engine positioning also allows the unit to be transported on smaller trailers.
The M515 features a 4m fines drum section and a 1.5m mid-product section, with multiple drum configurations available, including interchangeable screen sections or fully welded drums.
MDS will also have the M300 on display at the Red Knight 6 stand. The M300 is described as a compact, heavy-duty scalping grid developed in response to customer feedback highlighting limited innovation in this area. Built for challenging materials such as blasted rock and construction and demolition waste, the M300 features a fully hydraulic setup along with a heavy-duty double-deck grid incorporating a T-Bar cassette top deck and mesh bottom deck.
“Hillhead is an important event for MDS, and we’re looking forward to engaging with customers and demonstrating our equipment in a real working environment,” said Steven Keenan, general manager, MDS. “Having the M515 in operation allows visitors to see how it performs in demanding conditions, while the M300 provides a clear example of how we are responding to customer feedback with practical, next-generation solutions. Together, they showcase our focus on durability, performance and continuous product development.”
