Screening Lime for a Data Center Foundation
Material preparation plays an important role in large construction projects where consistent gradation and reliable material flow are required.
In this application, a 2026 McCloskey 516RE Trommel Screener is screening lime from a kiln for use as a soil stabilizer on a data center foundation.
The 516RE provides a mobile screening solution capable of processing up to 200 tons per hour, helping keep screened material moving efficiently from the feed hopper to the finished stockpile.

Why Trommel Screening Matters for Lime Processing
Screening helps separate material by size before it moves into its next application.
For soil stabilization projects, consistent material sizing can help contractors manage how processed lime is handled and incorporated into foundation preparation.
The McCloskey 516RE uses a heavy-duty trommel drum with adjustable speed, allowing operators to adapt the screening process to different material conditions.
Its mobile design makes it suitable for demanding construction and material-processing projects where production efficiency and reliable material flow are essential.
McCloskey 516RE Key Specifications
The 2026 McCloskey 516RE combines screening performance with jobsite mobility.
Key specifications and features include:
- Production capacity: Up to 200 TPH
- Engine: CAT 100 HP
- Transport weight: Approximately 36,000 lbs
- Drum: Direct-drive drum with adjustable speed
- Stockpiling: Integrated hydraulic folding conveyors
- Setup time: Approximately 10 minutes
These features make the 516RE a practical solution for contractors and material-processing operations that need consistent screening performance across different applications.
Direct-Drive Drum with Adjustable Speed
The McCloskey 516RE features a direct-drive trommel drum with adjustable speed, allowing operators to control the screening process according to their material requirements.
Adjusting drum speed helps operators manage how material moves through the screening system, providing flexibility when processing materials with different characteristics.
For this lime-screening application, the equipment supports the separation and preparation of material intended for soil stabilization.
Integrated Conveyors for Efficient Material Flow
Efficient screening requires more than separating material. Moving the finished product away from the machine is equally important.
The 516RE features integrated hydraulic folding stockpiling conveyors that support continuous material handling and organized stockpile placement.
This configuration allows operators to manage screened material while reducing the need for additional material-handling equipment immediately beside the trommel.
Fast Setup for Demanding Jobsites
The McCloskey 516RE is designed for approximately 10-minute on-site setup, helping contractors transition between transportation and production.
Its wheeled configuration and hydraulic folding conveyors support mobility between jobsites and processing areas.
For projects involving large volumes of material, reducing equipment setup time can help crews maintain production schedules and minimize unnecessary delays.
