Case Study: Screening for Success with the Gyru-Star 3-120MAX

In August 2013, MTT Sweden AB took delivery of their first Gyru-Star screening buckets. Patryk Haglund was one of the first contractors in Scandinavia to purchase a Gyru-Star ‘sorteringskopor’ from them, and he has had one on almost every job since.


Since then, he has had several Gyru-Star screening buckets for his 6-ton Kubota excavator, but for the past 5 years, he has predominantly been using a 3-120MAX.


Whilst many customers purchase their Gyru-Star attachments for a specific application, Patryk has found an almost endless list of uses for his, from spreading soil for seeding grass to gritting icy roads in the bitter Swedish winters.


As a general contractor, Patryk works on a wide variety of projects including new build housing developments, landscaping, drainage and even some forestry work. Regardless of the project, he says he always has a Gyru-Star screening bucket with him.


"The bucket makes everything easier. You can take it everywhere; I’m always finding new uses for it" 

When we caught up with Patryk recently, he explained how his screening buckets have allowed him to finish projects ahead of schedule and save both himself and his customers money. One of the major advantages he identified, was that he could recycle construction waste for use elsewhere on the site. Not only did this reduce the project's overall costs, but he could avoid downtime whilst waiting for material deliveries in rural areas.


However, this isn’t all he has used his screening bucket for. Here are just a few of the applications Patryk has found for his Gyru-Star screening buckets:


  1. Gritting icy roads in the winter. 

  2. Removing screws, nails and other metalwork from burn pit ash. 

  3. Cleaning up old roof thatching. 

  4. Spreading soil ready for grass seed. 

  5. Removing soil from roots and tree stumps, so it could be used to fill in the hole. 

  6. Cleaning up construction waste and separating the useable materials from the scrap, including removing large pieces of polystyrene, without making a mess. 

  7. Removing fines from demolition waste. 

  8. Turning excavated material from pool constructions into topsoil for use around the pool area. 

  9. Separating kitchen tiles from a pile of demolition waste, without shattering them. 

  10. Backfilling cable and pipe trenches. 


Patryk also spoke very highly of Gyru-Star’s Scandinavian dealer, MTT Sweden AB. He told us that the relationship Michael (of MTT) has with his customers enables a level of customer service he has never found anywhere else.
