Nirox Trommels

Nirox Trommels was a Northern Ireland-based manufacturer of heavy-duty rotary trommels designed for mining and quarrying operations, specializing in rock sizing and cleanup. Established in 2002 and headquartered in Ballymoney, County Antrim, the company gained recognition for its robust, high-capacity trommels, including the RG 902—one of the world’s largest, which processed over 14 million tonnes of aggregate for Dubai’s Palm Islands and “The World” archipelago projects . Key models like the TRG 403 and CRG 504 were tailored for harsh environments, handling feed sizes up to 800mm and producing multiple product grades at rates exceeding 400 tonnes/hour .

The company dissolved in 2022 after liquidation proceedings began in 2020 . Its legacy includes bespoke designs, such as wet/dry hybrid trommels and modular units for global projects like Australia’s Shell Cove development, where the CRG 504 processed hard rock for breakwater construction . Nirox’s engineering emphasized durability, with machines operating in extreme conditions (e.g., 56°C in Dubai) while maintaining 97% uptime.
