When it comes to improving efficiency on the jobsite, the right equipment can make all the difference. Screening buckets are not only a cost-effective and low-maintenance alternative to traditional screening methods, but they also offer incredible versatility. Designed to streamline operations, reduce overhead costs, and improve productivity, these attachments have become an essential tool for contractors in construction, landscaping, utilities, and other industries.
Unlike traditional screening plant, which requires dedicated machinery and significant operational costs, a screening bucket integrates seamlessly with your existing equipment. Whether you need to screen, load, mix, or backfill, Gyru-Star screening buckets allow you to combine multiple processes into a single operation. This reduces downtime, minimises machine movements, and keeps your project on track—while also cutting costs on fuel, maintenance, and additional equipment hire.
How Can a Screening Bucket Streamline Your Operations?
Here are four ways a Gyru-Star screening bucket can streamline your operations:
Combine Multiple Processes into a Single Operation
One of the biggest advantages of screening buckets over traditional screening equipment is that they can be used to combine multiple processes into a single operation.
In particular, operators can combine the screening and loading process, screening material directly into trucks, trailers, or stockpiles.
Minimise the Number of Machines Onsite
As screening buckets only require a single excavator, loader, or skid steer, you can limit the number of machines required onsite. This also means you can utilise the machinery you already have, reducing hire, fuel, and maintenance costs.
This is ideal for smaller or environmentally sensitive sites, where multiple carriers cannot be accommodated.
Screen Material Right Where It’s Needed
Screening buckets can go anywhere the carrier can, making them a truly mobile screening solution. This allows material to be screened right where it’s needed.
This reduces machine movements onsite and means material doesn’t need to be transported across the site for processing. This can lead to huge time savings, particularly when screening large volumes of material.
Reduce Downtime from Maintenance and Servicing
Maintenance and repair are among the main causes of downtime for machine operators. Our screening buckets are designed to be ultra-low maintenance, with self-tensioning carbon belt drives and sealed bearings throughout.
This eliminates the need for daily maintenance checks and regular servicing, reducing downtime and helping you keep project timescales on track.
Why Choose a Gyru-Star Screening Bucket?
Gyru-Star Compact Screening Systems are the world leader in polyurethane star screening solutions. We offer an extensive range of 31 screening buckets across six series, as well as our modular Poly-Deck system.
Each of the 31 models is optimised for a specific carrier weight range, allowing you to get the maximum screening performance from any carrier. Furthermore, we also offer loader and skid steer-specific ranges, as well as a specialist backfilling range.
All of our products are True Screening® solutions, meaning they screen material without crushing or shredding. This reduces waste and ensures a high-quality product every time. It also allows our screening buckets to be used for a much wider range of applications than just screening, including mixing, blending, and spreading.
Key Features
Our screening buckets come with a range of industry-leading features as standard, including:
Multi-Layer Monocoque Shell – Adds strength and durability while also reducing weight. The shells are reinforced with HB400 wear-resistant plate in high-wear areas and powder-coated for long-lasting protection against corrosion. The shells also have integrated driveline cavities, ensuring the bucket is always balanced and protecting the driveline from contamination.
Stainless Steel Non-Stick Floor – Allows for fast and efficient screening of wet materials by preventing build-up and ensuring a consistent flow of material into the rotors.
Carbon Belt Drives – This innovative system is a quieter, more reliable, and lower-maintenance alternative to chain drives. Self-tensioning and free from lubrication, our carbon belt drives require almost zero maintenance.
Flexible Polyurethane Stars – Our poly-stars are made from a proprietary polyurethane formula exclusive to Gyru-Star products. This formula allows them to flex under load without compromising durability, which is key to their non-destructive screening capability.
No Contamination – The sealed driveline cavities, lubrication-free driveline, and sealed bearings eliminate the risk of hydrocarbon contamination. This is ideal for environmentally sensitive sites, food products, and projects with strict environmental controls.
