Production Lines and Material Handling Systems Thanks to its self-contained design, the Poly-Deck seamlessly integrates into existing systems, such as biomass processing plants, production lines and material handling systems. Its simplified installation reduces setup time and minimises system downtime, providing a non-destructive solution that preserves product integrity. How Does the Gyru-Star Poly-Deck Work? The Gyru-Star Poly-Deck is built from individual 3 rotor modules, allowing the system to be adapted to any application Poly-Stars and Fragment Sizes The Poly-Deck uses the same flexible polyurethane stars as our screening buckets, which are made from a proprietary polyurethane formula, exclusive to Gyru-Star products. They are a key component of our True Screening® technology, which enables the Poly-Deck to screen without crushing or shredding. Cascading Rotors The cascading rotor system ensures efficient material flow and thorough separation, contributing to faster and more effective screening. Electric Driveline and Bearings The poly-deck is the first product in the Gyru-Star range to be electrically driven, with an electric motor powering each three-rotor module. The rest of the driveline, however, is borrowed from our screening buckets. The rotors are connected with ultra-low maintenance carbon belts. These are toothed, and run around sprockets, to eliminate the risk of slipping under load. All of the Poly-Deck’s bearings are also sealed, preventing any contamination of the product and improving longevity. Why Choose the Gyru-Star Poly-Deck? A True Screening® Solution The Poly-Deck provides industry leading non-destructive screening capabilities, ensuring that impurities and oversized material are removed without being crushed or blended into the final product. Maximum Versatility with Minimal Footprint Stackable modules allow for efficient multi-size screening without expanding the machine’s footprint—perfect for confined jobsites and simplifying transportation.

Gyru-Star 4-150MAX Screening Bucket Rising material and waste disposal costs are challenging contractors across the construction, landscaping, and demolition industries. At the same time, the costs of operating and maintaining traditional screening plants are becoming prohibitive, particularly for smaller projects. These factors are pushing many contractors to seek more efficient and cost-effective recycling solutions that don't compromise productivity. One solution is screening buckets, which have revolutionised onsite recycling by offering affordability, versatility, and efficiency. By utilising existing machinery such as excavators and loaders, screening buckets streamline operations and reduce overhead costs, making material recycling feasible even on smaller jobsites. What's the Problem with Onsite Recycling? Despite the obvious benefits of recycling waste material onsite, it does present significant challenges, which can make it seem impractical on smaller projects: Material and Waste Disposal Costs Rising material costs mean it’s increasingly important to recycle waste materials onsite, reducing your reliance on new materials, such as soil and aggregates. If any demolition work is taking place, you may also wish to recycle crusher run. With fuel and transport costs also on the rise, waste disposal expenses are increasing. Recycling material onsite can significantly reduce or even eliminate these costs. Machinery and Operational Costs The cost of keeping your machinery running is not to be underestimated. Therefore, it’s important to carefully consider the machinery required onsite and its associated operational costs. Running traditional screening plants can be cost-prohibitive, particularly on smaller projects. These machines need to be powered, loaded, and transported to and from the site, all of which adds additional expenses to the project. Hire and purchase costs are also steadily rising. If you're in the UK, that’s without mentioning the skyrocketing costs of employing machine operators. Transport costs are another consideration, as fuel prices make moving equipment more expensive. Screening material can also add additional processes to your operations, making everything take longer. An Affordable Solution for Onsite Recycling Gyru-Star 4-100HE with 40mm kit screening crusher run on a construction site These challenges often make onsite recycling unfeasible for many projects. This is especially concerning for smaller contractors in the construction and landscaping industries. Subsequently, many of these contractors have sought alternative recycling solutions that are both more affordable and better suited to smaller jobsites. Screening buckets offer this solution, allowing operators to unlock the benefits of onsite screening without the hefty price tag. Since most contractors already have excavators or loaders onsite, screening buckets let you utilise existing machinery, significantly reducing both purchase and operational expenses. Moreover, screening buckets streamline operations by combining multiple processes into a single operation. For instance, they enable operators to screen material directly into trucks or trailers, saving time and enhancing efficiency. Gyru-Star Compact Screening Systems When it comes to screening buckets, Gyru-Star Compact Screening Systems are the first choice for operators around the world. Our True Screening® technology is leading the way in non-destructive onsite screening. True Screening® products are designed to screen without crushing or shredding, producing a higher-quality product and minimising waste. This non-destructive capability also makes our screening buckets suitable for a much broader range of applications than steel shaft buckets. They are ideal for applications such as mixing and aerating compost and creating padding material for underground utilities.  Furthermore, our True Screening® technology ensures fast and efficient screening in all conditions, including wet weather. This is thanks to the rolling action created by the poly-stars and the non-stick bucket floors. What Exactly Makes Gyru-Star Screening Buckets Different? Gyru-Star 3-100HE on a JCB wheeled excavator So what exactly sets Gyru-Star screening buckets apart form the competition? Let's take a look at some of the reasons why many contractors have turned to Gyru-Star for onsite recycling: Market-Leading Features As Standard All Gyru-Star screening buckets come with a range of industry-leading features as standard. These include a multi-layer monocoque shell reinforced with HB400 wear-resistant plate, a stainless steel non-stick floor, ultra-low maintenance carbon belt drives, sealed bearings throughout, and a durable powder coat finish. These features make our screening buckets some of the most durable on the market, providing outstanding reliability and eliminating the need for daily maintenance. No Risk of Contamination Most screening buckets on the market use sealed oil baths or have exposed drivelines. This presents a significant risk of contamination to both the driveline and the environment, making them unsuitable for environmentally sensitive sites. In contrast, Gyru-Star screening buckets have sealed driveline cavities, keeping the driveline and hydraulics free from dirt and debris. Combined with the sealed bearings and lubrication-free carbon belts, this eliminates the risk of contaminating the product with oil or grease. Compatible With Multiple Carriers There’s a Gyru-Star screening bucket available for every 1-30 ton excavator and 1-15 ton loader. No matter what machinery you have onsite, there’s a Gyru-Star screening system to suit. Each of the 31 models in the Gyru-Star range is optimised for a specific carrier weight range, ensuring maximum screening performance for every machine. Furthermore, our screening buckets aren’t specific to any make or model of carrier. Many of the buckets in the Gyru-Star range are also compatible with both excavators and loaders, further improving their versatility. Dual carrier interfaces are available through our Kustom Konnect brand. Ready to Revolutionise Your Approach to Onsite Recycling?

Gyru-Star 4-120MAX backfilling a cable trench When it comes to utilities and infrastructure projects, efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability are key factors to success. Screening buckets offer a unique solution that excels in all these areas, making them an essential tool for contractors worldwide.  In this blog post, we’ll explore the key advantages of screening buckets, highlighting how they can help you save time, reduce costs, and meet the challenges of modern jobsites. Whether you’re working on a major infrastructure project or a smaller-scale utility installation, screening buckets are the perfect mobile backfilling solution. Cost-Effective There are three main ways a screening bucket can save you money on utilities and infrastructure projects. Material cost, waste disposal costs and operational costs.  By recycling material onsite, you not only generate less waste material, but you eliminate the need to purchase new material. Whilst the same could be said for any screening solution, screening buckets are far cheaper to run than tracked or static screeners, reducing your operational costs. Screening buckets are also cheaper to hire or purchase than screening plant, they don’t require additional fuel and maintenance is minimal. All of which help keeps costs to a minimum and maximise your profits. Streamlined Operations Screening buckets are an excellent tool for streamlining your operations, as they allow multiple processes, such as screening and backfilling, to be combined into a single operation. The speeds up the overall process and reduces the need for material rehandling. Furthermore, with a screening bucket you can screen material right where it’s needed, using machinery you already have onsite. This means less machinery, fuel and operators are required onsite. The end result of which is fewer liabilities, increased efficiency and greater profits. Environmentally Sensitive On environmentally sensitive jobsites, biosecurity can be a concern when bringing in material from offsite. By screening material back into the trench it was excavated from, you limit the possibility of contamination. Also, we far fewer moving parts, screening buckets are considerably easier to decontaminate than tracked or static screeners. Screening buckets in the Gyru-Star range also use sealed bearings and lubrication-free carbon belt drivelines, which eliminate the risk of contamination from oil and grease. The carbon belt drives also make Gyru-Star screening buckets incredibly quiet, perfect for noise sensitive jobsites. Furthermore, as material can be screen right where it’s needed, machine movements can be limited, helping to reduce ground compaction. Reduced Downtime Screening buckets, especially those driven by carbon belts, require a fraction of the maintenance that tracked and static screeners do. This reduces the amount of time lost to maintenance and repairs, keeping the job moving. Delays can also arise from late deliveries, and poor conditions and remote jobsites can also add further delays. Screening waste material onsite eliminates your dependence on deliveries, and any resulting delays. Buckets can easily be swapped between machines if one carrier requires maintenance or repair. Many models are compatible with both excavators and loaders, allowing for further versatility. Furthermore, if your main carrier requires a repair or maintenance, most screening buckets can simply be swapped to another machine. In the case of Gyru-Star screening buckets, each model is compatible with any carrier that’s within its weight range. Some models are even compatible with both excavators and loaders, allowing for greater versatility and reducing downtime. Remote and Confined Jobsites Gyru-Star 4-150MAX Backfilling on a utilities project in Sweden Unlike tracked and static screeners, screening buckets can go anywhere the carrier can. This is a major advantage on remote and confined jobsites, where access for larger machinery and HGVs may be difficult. This is one of the reasons that, in Sweden, Gyru-Star screening buckets have become the industry standard for utilities contractors. On remote jobsites, the cost of bringing in new padding material to site can be prohibitively expensive. In these cases, contractors have reported that their Gyru-Star screening buckets paid for themselves in as little as 7 hours, thanks to the savings on materials. Screening buckets are also ideal for confined urban jobsites, where access is limited or there simply isn’t space for a screening plant. Transportation of an attachment is also far cheaper and easier than tracked or static screeners, as they can be delivered to site with the carrier. Some models are also small enough to easily fit in a van or pick up bed. Looking for a Screening Bucket? Ready to turn your liabilities into assets?

The carbon belts used in Gyru-Star screening buckets Gyru-Star screening buckets have a hard-earned reputation for reliability and durability and are relied upon by operators on remote jobsites around the world. Paramount to their reliability are the carbon belts, which drive the poly-star rotors. This is very different from the systems used by other manufacturers, who generally rely on traditional chain-driven systems. In this article, we’re going to compare the two different systems and bust some common misconceptions about carbon belts. Common Myths About Carbon Belts Myth #1: Carbon Belts Will Slip Under Load The idea of belts slipping under load often comes from familiarity with flat rubber belts used in other applications. However, the carbon belts in Gyru-Star screening buckets are different. Equipped with teeth and running on sprockets—just like chains—these belts provide maximum power transfer, eliminating the risk of slipping under heavy loads. Myth #2: Carbon Belts Can’t Cope with Heavy or Sudden Loads This misconception stems from outdated assumptions about belt durability. In reality, the carbon belts in Gyru-Star buckets are designed to withstand high pressures and sudden loads. Damage through misuse is rare and comparable to the wear chains might experience under similar conditions. Myth #3: Carbon Belts Wear Out Faster than Chains Contrary to popular belief, carbon belts often outlast chains in this application. With fewer moving parts and no metal-on-metal wear, they’re built for longevity. While certain materials or applications may increase strain on the belts, independent testing confirms that their lifespan often exceeds that of chains in equivalent use. Myth #4: Carbon Belts Require Constant Adjustment Due to Stretching Both chains and belts are liable to stretch over time. However, thanks to the strands of carbon inside the belts, this is kept to an absolute minimum. Our screening buckets also have a self-tensioning system, meaning that there is never any need for manual adjustment. Carbon Belts vs Chains: A Side-by-Side Comparison Durability Carbon belts are highly durable, with fewer parts exposed to wear and tear compared to chains. They are also less prone to corrosion, seizing, or breakages, especially in demanding environments. Weight Unsurprisingly, carbon belts are much lighter than chains. This is especially beneficial on larger screening buckets, where multiple belts or chains are required, as it can dramatically reduce the weight of the attachment. The reduced weight also helps to ensure that the attachment is balanced, improving overall handling and operation, especially in smaller machines. It has also allowed us to increase the size of the screening area, maximising the output of the bucket. Operation Carbon belts operate much quieter than chains, making them ideal for noise-sensitive sites like residential areas. This quieter operation creates a safer working environment for both operators and nearby workers. The lack of lubrication requirements also means fewer delays, keeping downtime to a minimum. Maintenance Gyru-Star screening buckets require almost zero maintenance, thanks to the carbon belt driveline Just like a bicycle chain, chain-driven systems in screening buckets require regular lubrication to ensure that they don’t seize and are free from corrosion. Most manufacturers have taken one of two approaches: installing grease points or an oil bath. Whilst both are effective methods of lubrication, these features can present their own problems. Not only do lubricants attract dirt and grime (making other maintenance tasks more difficult), but there is also a risk of contaminating the screening material. Furthermore, external grease points are liable to damage, and oil baths have the potential to leak if damaged or incorrectly installed. In contrast, the carbon belts used in Gyru-Star screening buckets can’t corrode or seize and require zero lubrication as they have no moving parts and don’t wear on metal surfaces. This also makes other maintenance tasks a much cleaner job. Those unfamiliar with belt-driven screening buckets often raise concerns about the belts losing tension as they stretch. However, the belt drive system in our screening buckets is self-tensioning, meaning that the operator should never have to worry about tensioning for the life of the belt. We should also mention that any stretching is generally minimal, thanks to the unique design of the carbon belts. Chains are not immune to stretching, and if tensioning is required, then this has to be done manually. This means either adjusting the distance between the sprockets or shortening the chain itself. Case Study Carbon belt after four years of use, without any maintenance Last year, we were contacted by a local groundworks contractor in Gloucestershire who needed to replace damaged stars on their Gyru-Star 4-150HDX. The contractor had originally purchased the bucket back in 2020 for screening topsoil. Despite being in near constant use for the last four years, with zero maintenance during this time, the driveline was in excellent condition. Wear across the components was minimal, meaning that not a single internal component had to be changed. Another carbon belt from the same screening bucket As the driveline is enclosed, it was protected from the worst of the elements, with minimal build-up of dirt. The sealed bearings meant that in four years of use, there had been no need to grease anything. A thorough inspection by our engineers revealed only slight cosmetic wear to the belts, which were refitted to the bucket during the rebuild. This is testament to both the innovative design of Gyru-Star screening buckets and the durability of the carbon belts. Want to Find Out More?

Gyru-Star screening bucket with a Rototilt tiltrotator Tiltrotators are rapidly becoming an essential addition to any excavator operator’s arsenal. Positioned between the excavator arm and the attachment, they provide game-changing flexibility, allowing for precise earthmoving in confined spaces and restrictive work areas.  In this article, we answer some of the most common questions operators have about using screening buckets with tiltrotators and how to get the best results from your setup.  Find the Answer to Your Question: Can You Use a Screening Bucket with a Tiltrotator? Does Using a Tiltrotator Affect the Performance of My Screening Bucket? Do I Need to Use a Smaller Screening Bucket with My Tiltrotator? Can You Use a Screening Bucket with a Tiltrotator? Gyru-Star screening bucket with a Engcon tiltrotator Yes, absolutely. Gyru-Star screening buckets are one of the only screening buckets on the market compatible with tiltrotators, making them even more versatile. Tiltrotators enhance the flexibility of the attachment, enabling operators to tackle a wider variety of tasks more efficiently, such as backfilling and cable padding. Gyru-Star screening buckets are designed to be as close to a ‘plug-and-play’ system as possible. They operate using a single hydraulic feed with a return to the tank, meaning no additional accessories or modifications are required to use them with a tiltrotator. Simply attach the bucket, and you’re ready to work. Does Using a Tiltrotator Affect the Performance of My Screening Bucket? Gyru-Star screening buckets are specifically engineered to handle the unique hydraulic requirements of tiltrotators, including lower hydraulic flow rates and higher back pressures. They are compatible with all major tiltrotator brands, such as Engcon , Steelwrist , and Rototilt , without any compromise on performance. While using a tiltrotator, you may notice the poly-star shafts rotating slightly slower due to reduced hydraulic flow. However, this minor reduction in speed is unlikely to have a significant impact on the bucket’s screening performance. You can continue to screen, mix, and blend materials effectively without issue. Do I Need to Use a Smaller Screening Bucket with My Tiltrotator? Gyru-Star 4-150MAX with an Engcon tiltrotator Each Gyru-Star screening bucket is designed for a specific carrier weight range to ensure safe and efficient operation. Even when fully loaded, the bucket is engineered to remain within the excavator's lifting capacity. However, when combined with a tiltrotator, the total weight of the fully loaded bucket and the tiltrotator could exceed your excavator’s maximum lifting capacity. For this reason, you may want to consider using a slightly smaller screening bucket than usual, depending on your machine's specifications. It’s also worth remembering that the tiltrotator will increase the length of the dipper, changing the working geometry. If you're unsure which screening bucket size is right for your carrier, your local Gyru-Star dealer can provide tailored advice to ensure your equipment remains safe and efficient. Tiltrotators and Gyru-Star screening buckets are a powerful combination, offering unparalleled versatility and productivity for a wide range of applications.

Wet weather can often halt onsite screening, especially when screening materials such as soil and compost. This is particularly problematic when using flat deck or trommel screens, as water-logged material clogs the screening media. In severe conditions, some sites may become inaccessible to tracked and static screeners due to their size and weight. Furthermore, transporting material around the site may become difficult. Gyru-Star screening buckets can solve both of these issues. Not only do they remain effective in wet conditions, but they also enable you to screen material right where it’s needed, using machinery you already have onsite. Effective Screening of Wet Materials Poly-Star Rotors Instead of screening media, which can be prone to clogging, Gyru-Star screening buckets have flexible polyurethane star rotors. As these rotate, they create a rolling action inside the bucket, causing undersized material to fall through the gaps in the stars. Non-Stick Floor A unique feature of Gyru-Star screening buckets is the non-stick stainless steel floor. This prevents wet material from sticking to the floor of the bucket and clogging, ensuring it continuously feeds into the rotors. Access Any Site Remote and Hard-to-Access Sites Gyru-Star screening buckets are a popular choice for onsite screening in remote or hard-to-access areas. Their compact size enables them to be transported with the carrier and access confined sites such as gardens and urban demolition areas. Screen Material Right Where It’s Needed Gyru-Star screening buckets enable material to be screened right where it’s needed, limiting machinery movements onsite. This can be essential to prevent damage to tracks and waterlogged ground in wet conditions. Why Choose Gyru-Star?

Gyru-Star HDX models are the largest of our ‘standard’ screening buckets. Although there are only three models in the HDX range, they still cover an impressive carrier weight range of 7-24 ton excavators and 3-10 ton loaders. All HDX models have a width of 1500mm, and there are 3, 4, and 6 rotor variants available. Not only does this make the HDX a step up in terms of size from HE models , but also in terms of performance. This larger screening area has enabled some operators to screen up to 200 tons an hour with the 6-150HDX . The HDX range was initially developed at the request of the Swedish electricity board, who had been using HE models extensively on remote jobsites to recycle trench arisings into padding material for underground utilities. Whilst the existing HE models had been working well, they requested a larger bucket for their heavier machines. It was later that the Gyru-Star MAX range would be developed specifically for this application. Which Carriers are the Gyru-Star HDX Range Compatible With? The Gyru-Star HDX range is compatible with all 7-24 ton excavators and 3-10 ton loaders, including compact loaders, wheel loaders, telehandlers, and tractors.   As with the rest of the Gyru-Star range, HDX models are compatible with all makes and models of carriers within the specified weight range. They can also be supplied with a custom-made head plate or interface from Gyru-Star’s sister brand, Kustom Konnect . These can be built to suit any type of carrier or connection. Key Benefits of the Gyru-Star HDX Range The Gyru-Star HDX range offers numerous advantages for contractors looking to streamline their onsite operations. Some of the key benefits include: Turn Liabilities into Assets With the Gyru-Star HDX range, you can screen almost any material directly onsite. This eliminates the need to transport materials offsite for processing, saving both time and money. By turning what was once waste into reusable material, you can significantly reduce both material purchase and waste disposal costs. Larger Screening Area Unlike traditional steel shaft screening buckets, Gyru-Star buckets use lightweight polyurethane stars. This allows the screening area to be significantly larger without adding unnecessary weight, allowing for faster and more efficient screening. Compact and Versatile The compact size of the HDX range models means they can go wherever your excavator or loader can. This makes them ideal for jobsites that are inaccessible to tracked or static screeners, either due to space or access restrictions. Reduced Equipment Costs The HDX range allows you to make the most of machinery already onsite. This cuts down on the need to hire or purchase additional screening equipment and reduces ongoing maintenance costs. With the Gyru-Star HDX range, you can take advantage of your existing machinery and avoid the hefty expenses associated with larger screening systems. Why Is the Gyru-Star HDX Range the Best Screening Solution for 7-24 Ton Excavators and 3-10 Ton Loaders? The Gyru-Star HDX range offers a compact, efficient, and cost-effective solution for operators using both excavators and loaders. Each model is carefully optimised for specific carrier weights, ensuring that you achieve maximum screening performance no matter the machine you're using. In addition to its versatility, the HDX range is packed with industry-leading features as standard. This includes Hardox reinforcement in high-wear areas, ultra-low maintenance carbon belt drives , and a multi-layer monocoque shell for added strength and durability. These features ensure that your screening bucket is not only efficient but also built to withstand the toughest jobsite conditions, providing long-lasting performance with minimal maintenance.

What Does Fragment Size Mean on a Screening Bucket? The fragment size is the gap between the stars through which the undersize material falls, which dictates the size of the product the screening process produces. Gyru-Star screening buckets are available with four different fragment sizes: 10, 15, 20, and 40 mm (nominal). What is the Right Fragment Size for My Application? The fragment size you choose for your screening bucket will depend on the size of the product you want to produce. Some applications, such as cable and pipe padding, may require a specific fragment size. However, our standard fragment size is 20 mm, as this is well suited to most general-purpose applications. Your Gyru-Star dealer will be able to provide further guidance on selecting the right fragment size for your application. Does the Fragment Size Affect How Quickly I Can Screen Material? In some cases, the fragment size can affect how fast you can screen material. The larger fragment sizes will, of course, let through more material, though you will generally find that the material itself will have a greater impact on screening speed.

Can I Change the Fragment Size on a Gyru-Star Screening Bucket? Yes, you can change the fragment size of your Gyru-Star screening bucket. However, this does require the rotors to be replaced, which are available from your Gyru-Star dealer. Alternatively, comb kits are available as an add-on accessory, which will prevent oversize material from escaping over the top rotor. Where Can I Find More Information?

Gyru-Star screening buckets are a fast, efficient, and affordable option for onsite material screening. However, operators are often unsure about how they compare to screening plant, such as tracked or static screeners. While both types of machinery have their advantages, it’s essential to understand how they compare across several key factors, including cost, maintenance requirements, type of jobsite, and application. In this blog post, we’ll explore the differences between the two, helping you make an informed choice based on your specific needs. We'll be taking a look at the six keys areas you need to consider: Cost Maintenance and Parts The Jobsite The Material Transport The Application Cost One of the most significant benefits of a Gyru-Star screening bucket are their affordability. With lower purchase and operating costs compared to tracked or static screeners, Gyru-Star buckets provide a cost-effective solution for smaller-scale projects or operators working with limited budgets. Screening plants, on the other hand, come with a much higher upfront investment, making them suitable only when dealing with larger volumes of material. Additionally, screening plants require dedicated fuel or power sources, further increasing operational costs. In contrast, Gyru-Star screening buckets enable you to utilise carriers already onsite. This eliminates the need to hire additional machinery or operators. With 30 models available , to suit carriers from 1-30 tons, there is a Gyru-Star screening bucket available for almost any carrier you might have on site. This includes excavators, loaders and skid steers. Maintenance and Parts When it comes to maintenance, Gyru-Star screening buckets are nearly maintenance-free, which is a major advantage for reducing downtime on jobsites. The self-tensioning carbon belt drive and poly-star rotors require almost no servicing, allowing operators to keep working without constant maintenance interruptions. Furthermore, as key components are manufactured in-house, replacement parts are always readily available. In contrast, screening plants often require daily maintenance, which includes lubrication, filter cleaning, and other routine servicing tasks that lead to regular downtime. The need for continuous maintenance increases operating costs and delays, making screening plants less attractive for operators who want to minimise disruption. The Jobsite One of the major benefits of Gyru-Star screening buckets is their mobility. These buckets can go anywhere the carrier can, making them ideal for jobsites with limited access, such as confined spaces or remote areas. Whether it’s a garden or a confined urban construction site, the screening bucket can process material right where it’s needed, for efficient and convenient operations. Screening plants, however, require a dedicated and often larger space to operate. This makes them more suitable for large sites, where space is not an issue. For smaller or more challenging environments, a screening bucket offers greater versatility and ease of movement. The Material Gyru-Star screening buckets are renowned for their ability to efficiently screen wet materials, something which other types of screening equipment typically struggle with. In fact, for many contractors who normally operate screening plants, Gyru-Star screening buckets have become the preferred choice in wet conditions . Additionally, Gyru-Star screening buckets utilise flexible poly-stars, allowing them to screen without crushing or shredding. This enables them to produce a higher-quality product and makes Gyru-Star buckets ideal for screening delicate materials. Transport For ease of transport, Gyru-Star screening buckets are a clear winner. They can be transported with the carrier, and smaller models can even fit in a van or the bed of a pickup. This allows operators to bring the bucket to the jobsite without requiring additional vehicles or trailers. In contrast, tracked and static screeners typically require dedicated transport solutions due to their size and weight. This adds to the logistical complexity and costs of using a screening plant, especially when moving between jobsites. The Application Gyru-Star screening buckets offer incredible versatility, with a wide variety of applications . In addition to screening, they are commonly used to mix, blend, and spread materials, allowing you to make the most of the attachment even when there is nothing to screen. Furthermore, they enable you to combine multiple processes into a single operation, such as screening, backfilling, loading, or spreading. This helps to streamline your operations and improve efficiency. That being said, some tracked and static screeners have the advantage of being able to produce multiple sizes of material at once. If the material needs to be separated in this way, then this capability can save a lot of time. Key Takeaways Gyru-Star screening buckets provide a cost-effective and versatile solution for onsite material screening, particularly for smaller or hard-to-access jobsites. With lower purchase and operating costs compared to screening plants, they allow operators to use the machinery already on site, eliminating the need for additional equipment. Gyru-Star buckets are also easy to transport and are nearly maintenance-free, ensuring minimal downtime and reduced operational costs. In contrast, screening plants require more space, dedicated power sources, and regular maintenance, making them more suitable for larger-scale operations. While they can process higher volumes of material and separate it into multiple sizes, Gyru-Star screening buckets offer greater flexibility, especially in wet conditions, and can be used for additional tasks like mixing, blending, and spreading, providing a multi-functional tool for various applications.
