Since its establishment in 2010, Cloverdale Topsoil Ltd has grown from a small local operation with just a few trucks and a wheel loader into one of Western Canada’s trusted suppliers of landscaping materials, soils, mulch, and gravel. Serving customers across British Columbia’s Lower Mainland — from North Vancouver to Hope — the company continues to expand its operations to meet rising demand from both residential and commercial markets. Operating from its green waste recycling facility in Surrey, British Columbia, Cloverdale Topsoil processes and recycles organic material into high-quality topsoil products for landscapers, contractors, and homeowners. With sustainability at the core of the business, the company is committed to environmentally responsible recycling and efficient material processing.

“What makes us different from our competitors is our commitment to sustainability and the environment,” explained Operations Manager Robinjeet Kaur during a recent site visit with ProTrack, EDGE Innovate’s exclusive dealer for Western Canada.

Outdated Screening Equipment Slowing Production Growth

As demand increased, Cloverdale Topsoil began experiencing significant limitations with its existing screening equipment. The older machine struggled to maintain throughput levels, produced inconsistent material quality, and frequently jammed when processing wet or heavy feedstocks.

“Our old screener had outgrown its use,” said Robin. “It was slow, product quality was inconsistent, and it regularly jammed when handling wet or heavy material. We were spending hours on repairs, and downtime was hurting the business.”

Looking to improve efficiency and scale production, Cloverdale Topsoil partnered with ProTrack to identify a high-capacity screening solution capable of handling challenging material streams while delivering superior product consistency. Following a full site assessment, the recommended solution was the EDGE TRT622 tracked trommel screen.

EDGE TRT622 Trommel Screen Delivers 40% Increase in Production

With increasing customer demand and growing production targets, Cloverdale Topsoil required a screening solution that was bigger, faster, and more reliable.

“We had more orders coming in than we could handle,” Robin explained. “If we wanted to keep growing, we needed equipment that was bigger, faster and more reliable. The EDGE TRT622 ticked every box.” Since introducing the TRT622 into its operation, Cloverdale Topsoil has increased production by approximately 40%, processing around 200 yards of material per day while dramatically improving soil consistency and screening efficiency. “The longer drum gives us far greater capacity, and it doesn’t choke on wet or heavy material,” Robin added. “Producing a quality product is everything. Clean, consistent soil sells — and the TRT622 allows us to deliver that every time.”

High-Capacity Trommel Screen Designed for Tough Screening Applications

The EDGE TRT622 has become a benchmark solution for medium- to large-scale screening operations across North America. Engineered for high-capacity topsoil screening, compost processing, and green waste recycling applications, the machine is specifically designed to handle difficult, wet, sticky, and organic materials. The machine features a 6.9m long screening drum, variable drum speeds up to 24 RPM, a direct four-wheel drum drive system, hydraulic load sensing technology, automatic sequential start-up, and EDGE Innovate’s intelligent load management system. Its interchangeable punch plate and woven mesh drums, combined with track-mounted mobility, allow operators to quickly adapt to changing material streams and site requirements.

At Cloverdale Topsoil, the TRT622 is used to process green waste, composted material, and heavy soils that previously created bottlenecks for conventional screening equipment. Its versatility allows operators to switch between applications quickly without sacrificing throughput or screening quality.

Smart Trommel Screen Design Improves Efficiency & Reduces Costs

Designed with productivity and operational efficiency in mind, the EDGE TRT622 incorporates advanced features that help reduce operator intervention while maximising throughput. One standout feature is the remote-controlled radial fines conveyor, capable of creating stockpiles exceeding 1,000 cubic metres — significantly reducing loader movements, material handling, and rehandling costs.

“With the TRT622, we’re screening nearly double the volume,” said Robin. “In the past, we had a backlog of around two weeks. Now, we’re turning material around in a matter of days and loading trucks as fast as they arrive.”

Operators at the site have also praised the machine’s ease of maintenance, quick screen change capabilities, and ability to efficiently process difficult materials with minimal downtime.

Sustainable Screening Technology for Topsoil & Recycling Operations

Capable of processing up to 100 tonnes per hour, the EDGE TRT622 not only increases production capacity but also improves final product quality by reducing oversize contamination and minimising the need for reprocessing. Its eco power-saving functionality helps lower fuel consumption and reduce environmental impact — aligning perfectly with Cloverdale Topsoil’s sustainability-focused business model. By combining high-capacity screening performance with fuel-efficient operation, the TRT622 continues to help recycling and composting operations improve profitability while supporting environmentally responsible waste processing practices.

Reliable Dealer Support from ProTrack

In addition to the performance of the machine itself, Cloverdale Topsoil highlighted the importance of dealer support throughout the installation and commissioning process.

“Not only did ProTrack deliver and set up the TRT622, they showed us how to run it effectively and efficiently,” Robin said. “Their service has always been prompt and reliable.”

As EDGE Innovate’s exclusive dealer for Western Canada, ProTrack specialises in mobile crushing, screening, and recycling equipment across British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, providing customers with ongoing support and technical expertise.

“If we ever need another screener or different machine, EDGE would be the first brand we consider,” Robin added. “My advice to any business thinking about investing in new equipment is simple — don’t wait until your current machine starts holding you back. Make the switch to EDGE, and you’ll see the difference immediately.”

Customer Testimonial

“The EDGE TRT622 has been one of the company’s best ever investments, boosting production by over 40%.”

“The TRT622 has been exactly what we needed. It has proved itself to be a dependable workhorse that doesn’t let us down.”
