Gyru-Star screening buckets are designed to keep your operation moving, with minimal downtime and maximum productivity. Maintenance is one of the most common causes of delays on site, which is why we’ve taken a different approach. Every Gyru-Star bucket is engineered with low-maintenance operation in mind, from the drive system to the structural shell. The result? A fast, efficient screening solution that’s ready to work when you are—no matter the material or conditions.

Ultra-Low Maintenance Features

Self-Tensioning Carbon Belt Drives

The carbon belts used in Gyru-Star screening buckets

Unlike traditional chain-driven systems, Gyru-Star screening buckets use self-tensioning carbon belts. These belts require zero adjustment or lubrication and are reinforced with carbon fibre strands for added strength and longevity. With minimal stretch and no risk of corrosion, they provide a quieter, cleaner and more reliable alternative to chains. This means fewer maintenance tasks and more time on the job.

Sealed Bearings

To further reduce maintenance demands, all Gyru-Star screening buckets are fitted with sealed bearings throughout. These eliminate the need for daily greasing and protect against contamination from dust, grit and debris. There are no exposed grease points or vulnerable lubrication lines to worry about, even when screening abrasive materials such as aggregates or recycled waste. The result is a cleaner, simpler attachment with fewer failure points.

Integrated Hydraulic System

The hydraulic system is fully enclosed within the bucket’s shell, keeping all critical components protected from damage and debris. Driveline housings are built into either end of the shell, shielding hoses, valves and fittings from the outside environment. This reduces wear, extends component life, and eliminates many of the routine checks that other attachments require. It’s a streamlined design that maximises durability without sacrificing performance.

Multi-Layer Monocoque Shell

The strength of a Gyru-Star bucket starts with its shell. Every unit features a multi-layer monocoque construction, reinforced with HB400 wear-resistant steel in high-wear areas. This design spreads loads evenly, resists impact and protects the driveline and internal systems from damage. The stainless-steel non-stick floor ensures consistent screening even in wet conditions, while the powder-coated finish provides long-lasting protection against corrosion. It’s a structure built to last, with minimal upkeep required.

Built for Work, Not Workshop Time

Gyru-Star screening buckets are built with one goal in mind—keeping you productive. From self-tensioning carbon belts and sealed bearings to reinforced shells and protected hydraulic systems, every feature is designed to reduce the time you spend on maintenance. Whether you're working in tough terrain or on tight schedules, Gyru-Star keeps you working.
