Introduction Backhoe loaders are renowned for their versatility, combining the functions of a tractor, loader, and backhoe into a single machine. They are indispensable on construction sites, farms, and in landscaping due to their ability to perform a variety of tasks. These powerful machines can dig, lift, and transport materials with ease, making them a favourite among operators for a wide range of projects. However, the true potential of a backhoe loader can only be realised when paired with the right attachments. One such attachment is the screening bucket, which can significantly enhance the functionality and efficiency of your backhoe loader. Gyru-Star’s range polyurethane star screening buckets are the ideal choice for maximising the capabilities of your backhoe loader. Gyru-Star’s True Screening attachments enable the screening, mixing, blending and spreading of materials without crushing or shredding. This article explores how you can increase your machine's versatility and turn your liabilities into assets. In this Article: Why Choose a Gyru-Star Screening Bucket for Your Backhoe Loader?

These buckets are perfect for screening, mixing, spreading and aerating materials on site, providing a quick and efficient way to manage different types of materials. Gyru-Star screening buckets are the perfect screening solution for backhoe loaders, with both excavator arm and loader compatible models available. The unique design of Gyru-Star screening buckets allows for superior performance in separating soil, compost, and waste materials, ensuring that your backhoe loader can handle a wider range of tasks with ease. Flexible polyurethane stars rotate in an upwards direction, creating a rolling action inside the bucket. This causes the undersize material to fall through the gaps in the stars, without crushing or shredding the product. Coupled with the non-stick stainless-steel floor, the poly-stars also allow Gyru-Star screening buckets to maintain their performance in wet conditions, or when screening sticky material such as clay. Every bucket in the Gyru-Star range comes fully equipped with a full range of industry-leading features, as standard. However, the ultra-low maintenance carbon belt drive is by far the standout feature. As the driveline requires zero greasing oiling, the need for daily maintenance is eliminated, minimising downtime. This system is also far quieter than the outdated chain-drive systems used by other manufacturers, making Gyru-Star buckets well suited for noise-sensitive sites. Additionally, the multi-layer monocoque chassis of each bucket is reinforced with Hardox plate in high wear areas, such as the cutting edge. This makes them   some of the most durable screening buckets in the industry. By integrating these buckets, operators can significantly reduce the need for additional machinery, lowering operational costs and improving overall job site efficiency. The robust construction and innovative features of Gyru-Star screening buckets make them a reliable and long-lasting solution for enhancing the functionality of your backhoe loader.  Explore Gyru-Star’s Extensive Range of Excavator Buckets Gyru-Star offers a comprehensive range of excavator buckets, each designed to meet specific needs and applications. Their buckets are known for their durability and efficiency, capable of handling tough materials and conditions. These buckets are perfect for applications ranging from construction to landscaping, providing versatility and reliability for any project. Gyru-Star produce a broad range of excavator screening buckets, many of which are compatible with the rear boom on backhoe loaders. Currently Gyru-Star produce screening buckets for excavators between 1-30 tons. The exact model you require will depending on the lifting capacity of your machine, and whether you intend to use a tiltrotator. For most backhoe loaders, the Gyru-Star E and HE ranges are likely to be most suitable. This covers machines with a lifting capacity of 1-13 ton. If you are using a tiltrotator on your backhoe loader, you may need to select a smaller bucket, to ensure you are within the safe lifting capacity of your machine. Another important thing to consider, is the overall width of the bucket. Whilst many machines will be capable of using 1200mm and 1500mm models when extended, these buckets are likely too large to prevent the rear boom from folding away. As a result, it is not recommended to use a screening bucket wider than 1000mm on the rear boom of a backhoe loader. Your local Gyru-Star dealer with be able to advise on which models are compatible with your backhoe loader. Discover Gyru-Star’s Comprehensive Range of Loader Buckets The range of loader buckets from Gyru-Star is equally impressive, designed to optimise the performance of your loaders. These buckets are crafted to ensure maximum productivity and durability, making them suitable for a variety of applications. Gyru-Star loader buckets are engineered to deliver superior performance and longevity, helping operators achieve more with their equipment. Gyru-Star’s range of loader buckets covers all common types of loaders, from 1-15 ton. Regardless of your backhoe loader’s operating weight, there is guaranteed to be a suitable model available. For Backhoe loaders with a loader lift capacity of 1-5 ton, then a model from the L range is likely to be most suitable. If you backhoe loader has a lift capacity of over 3 ton or you require a larger bucket, then it is worth considering a HDX or MAX model. As with the excavator buckets, the width of the loader bucket is also an important consideration. Gyru-Star produce loader compatible buckets are available in 1000mm, 1200mm and 1500mm widths. It is advisable to speak with your Gyru-Star dealer, to ensure you are purchasing the correct width bucket for your machine. Kustom Konnect Interfaces The Gyru-Star range is all about versatility. That’s why Gyru-Star screening buckets are available with custom made head plates and interfaces, from their sister brand Kustom Konnect.

Have you ever been curious about how our screening buckets actually work? In this article we're going to explore the engineering behind our industry-leading range of screening buckets, as well as look at 5 tips to get the most from your Gyru-Star Compact Screening System. These are the four key areas we're going to explore: The flexible poly-stars The choice of fragment sizes The hydraulic system The carbon belt drive Flexible Poly-Stars for Non-Destructive Screening Gyru-Star screening buckets use rotating flexible poly-stars to separate material. As the stars rotate, they create a tumbling action inside the bucket, which causes the undersized material to fall through the gaps between the stars.  The screening aperture, or gaps between the stars, can be adjusted by using a different size fragment kit. These are available in 4 different sizes, from 10-40mm. As the polyurethane stars are flexible, they can screen material without crushing, shredding or tearing. This enables Gyru-Star screening buckets to be used for far more than just separating material, making them a highly versatile attachment for any kind of carrier.  The poly-stars also work exceptionally well with wet or sticky material, such as clay-heavy soils. As a result, you can keep working no matter the weather, which isn’t always possible with other kinds of screening equipment.  Fragment Sizes for Every Application  The size of the product the bucket produces is dictated by the fragment size. Simply put, this is the size of the gap between the poly-stars. Gyru-Star buckets are available in 4 different fragment sizes, 0-10mm, 0-20mm, 0-25mm and 0-40mm.  For applications where the fragment size needs to be reduced further, comb kits are also available.  When ordering your Gyru-Star screening bucket, you will need to specify your required fragment size. However, if your needs change, then the fragment size can easily be changed.  ‘Plug and Play’ Hydraulic System  Gyru-Star screening buckets are hydraulically powered and are run from the carrier's auxiliary hydraulic circuit. Depending on which model you are using, the hydraulic flow rate with vary, though the hydraulic pressure is consistent across all models in the range (200 BAR).  Designed to be a ‘plug and play’ system, Gyru-Star screening buckets are ready to go from the moment they arrive on site.  For carriers without the option to control the flow rate, Gyru-Star screening buckets can be supplied with flow control valves. These can be fitted to any Gyru-Star screening bucket and enable the operator to manually adjust the flow rate.  These flow control systems are supplied as standard with all skid steer specific models (SL range).  Ultra-Reliable Carbon Belt Drive  Most poly-star screening buckets currently on the market still use chain drive systems.  Not only are these drivelines loud, but they also require daily oiling and greasing, with the chains being prone to stretching.  To minimise downtime from maintenance, and maximise reliability, Gyru-Star screening buckets utilise an innovative and ultra-reliable carbon belt drive systems. As well as being self-tensioning, this system requires zero lubrication, eliminating the need to daily greasing and oiling.  5 Tips for Fast and Efficient Screening  Please ensure that you refer to the original instructions for your Gyru-Star Compact Screening Systems. The following information does not override the original instructions. No.1 – Get the Angle Right  When starting up your Gyru-Star screening bucket, getting the right angle can make a significant difference to the screening speed. Getting the correct angle ensures that you are using the entire screening area, maximising the efficiency of the bucket.  As a rule of thumb, the higher the moisture content of the material, the less angle that is required, as the material is generally heavier.  We suggest experimenting to see which angle works best for the material you are working with.  No.2 – Use the Right Bucket for the Right Application  Gyru-Star screening buckets are highly versatile, and there is little limit to the potential applications for the market-leading system.  That being said, there are some cases where certain models may be more suited to the task at hand. For example, if you are using your screening bucket to spread material, or backfill a pipe trench, then a wider 100, 120 or 150 model may be most suitable. If space is at a premium, then a narrower 60 or 80 model may be your best choice.  No. 3 – Don’t Overfill the Bucket  When it comes to screening quickly, sometimes less is more! Overfilling your Gyru-Star screening bucket can in fact slow it down. In some circumstances, overfilling the bucket can cause damage to the rotors, and you may spill unscreened material from the top of the bucket.  A straightforward way to tell if you have overfilled the bucket is if you can’t see the top rotor. If it is covered, then there is too much material in the bucket, and you likely won’t achieve optimal screening speed.  No. 4 – Feed the Rotors as You Screen  It is important to remember, however, that the model you choose will still be governed by the carrier weight.  As the bucket empties and the material moves around, the ideal screening angle will change. To ensure that you are still using the entire screening area, slowly curl the bucket as you are screening. This steadily feeds the rotors, ensuring maximum efficiency.  You can see a great example of this in the video below: No. 5 – Don’t Shake the Bucket  Our final tip for fast and efficient screening is not to shake the bucket! With other types of screening attachments, this can be a necessary step to screen material. However, with Gyru-Star screening buckets this is completely unnecessary, thanks to the non-stick floor and poly-star rotors.  In fact, if the bucket is shaken, then it is likely that unscreened material may be spilt, particularly if the bucket is overfilled.  Looking for a Gyru-Star Dealer?  Use our dealer finder tool, to locate your nearest Gyru-Star Dealer.  Thinking about becoming a Gyru-Star dealer?

Gyru-Star Compact Screening Systems are a True Screening  solution. This means that they can screen material fast and efficiently, without crushing or shredding. Key to this are the flexible polyurethane stars, from which the brand gets its name. Why Polyurethane? Unlike steel rotors, the polyurethane stars are designed to flex. This means that they do not crush or shred the material. Although flexible, the poly-stars are also incredibly durable. The polymer has been specially developed to be durable enough to screen materials such as concrete, rocks and aggregate, without damaging more delicate materials such as compost.  How Do the Poly-Stars Work?  In Gyru-Star screening buckets, the poly-stars are mounted hydraulically powered shafts. These rotate in an upwards direction, which creates a rolling action inside the bucket.  The rolling action causes the undersize material to fall through the gaps in the stars, rather than be pulled through, leaving the oversized material inside the bucket. This motion is also excellent for mixing and blending materials, including aggregates and compost. The gap between the stars, referred to as the fragment size or screening aperture, is what controls the size of material left inside the bucket. Gyru-Star screening buckets are available in four different fragment sizes: 0-10mm, 0-15mm, 0-20mm and 0-40mm.  Find Out More  Want to find out more about the engineering which goes into our Gyru-Star screening buckets?

Introduction In dynamic industries such as construction, demolition and landscaping, efficiency and quality are paramount. True screening offers a revolutionary way to process materials without causing damage, ensuring both cost-effective and high-quality results. This post explores why true screening is crucial for your business and how Gyru-Star's innovative screening buckets can help you achieve optimal performance. In this Article: What is true screening?  Benefits of true screening  Applications for true screening  Gyru-Star’s industry-leading screening solutions  Why Choose Gyru-Star  Testimonials and Resources  What is True Screening? True screening is a process that separates materials without causing any harm to the products being screened. This technique is essential in industries where the integrity of the material is crucial. By using specialised excavator, loader or skid steer attachments, materials are sorted and processed efficiently, ensuring high quality and minimal waste. This method contrasts with traditional screening methods, where the material might be damaged or altered during the process, leading to reduced quality and usability.  You can read our blog post on the different types of true screeners here . Benefits of True Screening Cost Savings – Lower Material Costs One of the primary benefits of true screening is the significant cost savings it offers. By reducing waste and operational costs, businesses can achieve greater financial efficiency. For instance, in the construction industry, true screening allows for the reuse of materials, minimising the need for new resources. Reduced Waste By precisely sorting and processing materials, true screening minimises waste. This not only reduces disposal costs but also allows businesses to reuse materials that would otherwise be discarded. Lower Operational Costs Screening buckets, such as those produced by Gyru-Star, have far lower operational costs than traditional tracked screeners. In the case of Gyru-Star, whose screening buckets use carbon belt drives, maintenance is almost zero. Furthermore, as they are attachments rather than a stand-alone machine, there are no additional fuel or operator costs. Time Savings and Increased Productivity True screening can also save you a lot of time on the jobsite. When material deliveries are delayed, waste products can be repurposed to keep the project on track. Furthermore, using a screening attachment on an excavator, loader or skid steer means that the material can be screened exactly where it is needed. This is a vast improvement on current industry practices, where material is screened in a central location, often off-site.  By reducing the time spent on sorting and processing materials, businesses can increase overall productivity. This means more projects can be completed in less time, leading to higher revenue. After running out of materials late in the day, and miles from the supplier, one contractor in Northeast England used their Gyru-Star screening bucket to recycle crusher waste into drainage stone. This allowed them to complete the project on time. You can read more about this story here . Maintain Product quality and Integrity High-quality materials lead to better quality products. Whilst tracked screeners, and other destructive methods, offer their own unique set of advantages, they are not suitable for all applications. For many industries, maintaining the quality and integrity of materials is vital. For example, when screening topsoil or mixing and blending compost. Not only does true screening improve the quality of the end product, but it ensures that there is no contamination. With screeners that use metal rotors or drums, there is the risk of softer material being broken apart and contaminating the product. Applications of True Screening in Various Industries  Construction In construction, true screening is used to efficiently sort materials like soil, sand, and gravel, ensuring that the right materials are used for the right purposes without contamination. This not only improves the quality of the construction but also reduces the cost of purchasing new materials. Common Applications for True Screening in the Construction Industry Include: Recycling crusher waste into new material  Removing fines from demolition waste  Backfilling cable and pipe trenches Sorting aggregates by size  Removing continuation for aggregates  Demolition For demolition projects, true screening helps in the safe and effective management of debris, separating reusable materials from waste and reducing the environmental impact. Common Applications for True Screening in the Demolition Industry Include: Separate valuable materials from waste products  Remove fines from demolition waste  Reduce waste disposal costs by recycling waste onsite  Reduce the project’s environmental impact by limiting landfill waste  Landscaping  Landscaping requires precise screening of soil and compost to ensure the health and growth of plants. True screening ensures that these materials are free of contaminants and of the highest quality.  Common Applications for True Screening in the Landscaping Industry Include: Pre-screening biomass material for automated biomass systems  Removing impurities and oversized material from mulch and woodchip  Spreading soil for turf and grass seeding  Removing roots, stones and other impurities from topsoil  Mixing and blending soil and compost  Aerating compost  Gyru-Star Compact Screening Systems – The Industry’s Leading Manufacturer of Polyurethane Star Screening Buckets  Gyru-Star Compact Screening Systems are the world's leading manufacturer of True Screening Systems.

Gyru-Star screening buckets are tried and tested designs, which have continued to evolve based on feedback from operators around the world. But don’t just take our word for it, here’s what a few of them had to say:    "It has made business so much easier; we screen almost everything on site, turning a pile of waste into usable material, using the hardcore and topsoil we produce.” "We make more money by doing less work, it really is a game changer! Over the 6 years we have had the Gyru-Star we must of screened thousands of tonnes of material, it works for both us and the client. It has been become an essential piece of equipment for our business"  Piers Dent, Lypiatt Landscapes, Gloucestershire, United Kingdom   "The bucket makes everything easier. You can take it everywhere; I’m always finding new uses for it"  Patryk Haglund, General Contractor, Sweden   "I can take it to a job site, screen that root mat, get a couple of loads of topsoil, and get $600 to $800 a load out of it. I've got an $80,000-screen plant. If I would I'd have had this [Gyru-Star 4-100HE], I would have never bought that." "It screens the wet just like the dry, that surprised us all."  Tony Shuler, Shuler's Mulch and Grading, North Carolina, United States    What’s Next?

Key Information Bucket:  Gyru-Star 4-120MAX and 4-150MAX  Carrier:   Hyundai HX145LCR and JCB 220LC Application:  Recycling trench arisings into cable padding Location:   Gullspång , Sweden  Dealer:   MTT Sweden AB  The Case Study In Gullspång, in Southern Sweden, construction contractor Folkessons Gräv are working on a 1-mile stretch of pipeline for a local infrastructure project. With a section of the pipeline crossing farmland, extra care must be taken to avoid damaging crops and topsoil. Thankfully, the team have two Gyru-Star Compact Screening Systems on hand. “There are many advantages to the sorting bucket, but the main reason we wanted to use it right here was to not risk tearing up the arable land with material transport”, says Ricard Hammarberg, the project manager. Marcus Folkesson, of Folkessons Gräv, is the owner of the two Gyru-Star screening buckets in use on the project. For this particular application, Marcus selected the Gyru-Star 4-120MAX and 4-150MAX, which are mounted to Hyundai HX145LCR and JCB 220LC excavators. The Gyru-Star MAX series has been designed specifically for backfilling cable and pipeline trenches. These screening buckets have a longer, Hardox-reinforced cutting edge, which makes it easier to fill the scoop from smaller stockpiles. Having now used the buckets for some time, Marcus has that they have helped to improve efficiency and lower material costs. “Above all, you save a lot of money by reusing material on site, but it also goes faster when you don't have to wait for material transport” he said. “it has worked better than expected, even in the mud and wet it just keeps working”.  The Gyru-Star 4-120MAX and 4-150MAX screening buckets were supplied to Folkessons Gräv by MTT Sweden AB , who are Gyru-Star’s official Swedish distributor.

Agricultural machinery can be a major investment for your business, and one of the best ways to make the most of this investment, is to maximise the capabilities of your machines. Gyru-Star Compact Screening Systems are designed to do exactly this and offer operators the ability to quickly turn their liabilities into assets. Gyru-Star’s non-destructive screening capabilities open up a vast range of potential applications, from recycling waste material to soil improvement and to road gritting. Whether you’re an agricultural contractor, landscaper, arborist or general builder, a Gyru-Star screening bucket has the potential to revolutionise your day-to-day operations. One of the main advantages of a Gyru-Star screening bucket, is the ability to combine multiple processes or actions into one. Whether you want to screen backfilling material straight into a trench, or blend soil and compost whilst loading onto a trailer, a Gyru-Star screening bucket will save you time and money, whilst increasing your productivity.  One Attachment. Unlimited Applications  Probably one of the most versatile attachments you will ever own. Although the list of potential applications is almost endless, here’s a few of the most common ones:  Aggregates Turn your liabilities into assets, by quickly and efficiently recycling waste material into a high-quality product. Gyru-Sar screening buckets can also be used to mix and blend aggregates and sort material by size. This is especially useful when repurposing crusher run and other waste material. You can read about how one customer in North-East England used their Gyru-Star 4-100HE to recycle crusher run into drainage stone here .  Spreading Material The large screening area of Gyru-Star screening buckets make them ideal for evenly spreading material, such as soil, stone and even road grit. This has proven useful for landscape contractors, who have used their Gyru-Star buckets to spread topsoil before laying turf. One customer in Sweden also uses their bucket for gritting icy roads. Another customer, also in Sweden, used their bucket to dust tulips with snow collected from local ice rinks. This was to prevent them from flowering too early before an upcoming tulip festival.  Cable and Pipeline Create high-quality padding material by processing trench arisings on-site, using your existing carriers. Ideal for remote or hard to access sites, which may be inaccessible for tracked screeners and HGVs. Using a Gyru-Star screening bucket to backfill the trench combines screening and backfilling into a single process, saving you vital time and reducing machinery and fuel costs.  Soil and Compost Create high quality topsoil by mixing and blending soil and compost, whilst also removing rocks, roots and other oversized materials. In addition, the soil and compost are aerated during the screening process. This can aid in drying the material and promoting decomposition.  Biomass  Pre-screen organic materials for automated biomass systems, ensuring that any impurities are removed, and that the material is a uniform size. For contractors, or anyone else selling on material for biomass, can also use this to improve the quality of their product, and command a higher value.  Why Choose Gyru-Star for Your Agricultural Machinery So why choose Gyru-Star?

This means that not only are they non-destructive, but that they can maintain screening efficiency in all conditions. Every bucket in the range comes standard with a non-stick stainless-steel floor. Coupled with the flexible poly-star rotors, this enables Gyru-Star screening buckets effectively screen wet and sticky materials, such as clay-heavy soils.  Compatible With All Your Machinery  The Gyru-Star range is one of biggest in the industry, with 30 models across 6 ranges, to suit carriers from 1 to 30 tons. The purpose behind this extensive range, is to ensure that no matter the type or size of carrier you are using, you will be able to get the highest screening capacity possible from your machine.  Our range of screening buckets covers all types of carriers, including:  Excavators  Compact loaders  Telehandlers  Tractors (inc. compact tractors)  Wheel loaders  Skid Steers  Whilst the E, L and SL ranges have been optimised for specific types of carriers, the HE*, HDX and MAX ranges are compatible with both excavators and loaders. When paired with a Kustom Konnect dual interface, they can be quickly swapped between different types of carriers. This means one bucket can be used across your entire fleet (weight dependant), eliminating the need to purchase multiple screening buckets.  *Some HE models are excavator specific. Compatibility for each model is listed on the relevant product page.   Screen Material Right Where It’s Needed  Thanks to their compact size and weight, Gyru-Star screening buckets can go anywhere your carrier can, from the confines of a back garden landscaping project to a remote corner of your farm.  In Sweden, the Gyru-Star MAX range  has proven popular on remote pipeline projects, which are impossible for tracked screeners or HGVs to access. With a Gyru-Star screening bucket, you can screen material right where it’s need, using machines you already have on site.  Ultra-Low Maintenance  With a durable self-tensioning carbon belt drive, and sealed bearings throughout, you can forget about greasing and other daily maintenance tasks. Gyru-Star screening buckets keep downtime to a minimum and ensure that you can keep working when it matters the most.  Conclusion  Gyru-Star screening buckets are the obvious choice for improving your productivity and maximising the capabilities of your agricultural equipment. With just one attachment you can screen, mix, spread and blend, and this can be all be done right where the material is needed with machines you already own.  Furthermore, Gyru-Star is a brand name you can rely on, with each and every one of screening buckets is designed and manufactured in Gloucestershire, by Wheatway Solutions Limited.  Where Can I Buy a Gyru-Star Screening Bucket?  Gyru-Star compact Screening Systems are available worldwide, from our network of authorised dealers and distributors.

Key Information Bucket:  Gyru-Star 3-120HE, 3-120MAX and 3-150HDX Carrier:   HUDDIG 1260D Wheel Loader Application: Backfilling cable trenches Location:   Sweden Dealer:   MTT Sweden AB  Case study In Southern Sweden, E.ON is working to strengthen and renovate its electrical grid. Lars Olsson, from Östervärn Gräv AB, is one of the machine operators who has been contracted for the project. A long-time proponent of Gyru-Star screening buckets, Olsson quickly identified how the attachment could be used to save time and reduce the project's material costs. In Sweden, regulations require electrical cables to be padded with material smaller than 8mm. Usually, this means that the trench arisings are processed at an off-site screening plant, which removes the oversized material. In some cases, the trench arisings are disposed of, and new backfilling material is purchased. Gyru-Star screening buckets allow operators to recycle the trench arisings on-site, using excavators or loaders already working on the project. This massively reduces operational and material costs, as well as saving time. The buckets also enable the operators to screen the material directly into the trench, backfilling over the cables. This not only speeds up the process but ensures the material is evenly distributed. “At the start of the project, I had to get approval from E.ON to use the screening bucket,” Olsson said. “It was not difficult to get E.ON to understand the benefits, and it didn’t take long to get approval”. Olsson came into contact with MTT Sweden AB, Gyru-Star’s official Swedish distributor, at a fair a few years ago. He watched a demo run and quickly realised the benefits. “I started with a Gyru-Star 3-120HE, I then purchased a 3-150HDX, the first one in the world. I then switched to the 3-120MAX and it was absolutely perfect” he added. Olsson has been using his buckets daily and has done so for years. However, he reports that maintenance has been minimal. “I have changed bearings, fingers and shoulders, but considering how much it has been used, I think it has held up very well”. Olsson purchased his Gyru-Star Compact Screening Systems from MTT Sweden AB .  You can find out more about Gyru-Star’s range of screening buckets here .

Gyru-Star Compact Screening Systems are highly versatile attachments, designed to maximise the capabilities of your excavators and loaders. Used across a wide range of industries, from agriculture to construction, the list of potential applications is almost endless. However, we’ve put together a list of some of the more common, and unusual applications for Gyru-Star screening buckets. Here are some of the most common uses of our non-destructive screening attachments.  Common Applications for Gyru-Star Screening Buckets Mixing and Blending  Gyru-Star screening buckets are commonly used for mixing and blending a variety of materials, including soil, compost and aggregates. Their non-destructive poly-star rotors can mix and blend the material without crushing, shredding or tearing, ensuring no material is wasted. This has led to Gyru-Star screening attachments becoming a popular choice in the agricultural, horticultural, landscaping and construction industries.  Creating High-Quality Topsoil Gyru-Star’s non-destructive screening capability also makes it the perfect solution for creating high-quality topsoil. Roots, rocks and oversize material are quickly removed, without damaging the product. A common application in the landscaping industry, many contractors and operators have used Gyru-Star screening buckets to turn their waste materials into topsoil, which they can then sell on, or use elsewhere on the project.  Recycling Construction and Demolition Waste  Disposing of waste material from construction and demolition projects can be both expensive and time-consuming. Gyru-Star Screening buckets allow for waste material to be recycled onsite, using the machines you already have. After running out of drainage stone on a construction project, one operator in the UK used their Gyru-Star screening bucket to create new material from crusher waste. As well as creating drainage stone from the >20mm material, they were able to use the <20mm material elsewhere on the project, evening out the floor of a new building.  Aerating Soil and Compost  Operators in the horticultural industry have also made good use of Gyru-Star’s non-destructive screening capability, using their buckets to aerate soil and compost. With models to suit compact loaders, tractors and telehandlers, material can be processed quickly and efficiently, without the risk of destroying the compost.  Pre-Screening Biomass Material  Gyru-Star screening buckets are also ideal for pre-screening organic material for automated biomass systems. Oversize material and impurities are quickly removed, without shredding the product. For landscaping or arboricultural contractors, who sell their waste for biomass, pre-screening the material can help ensure that they get the best possible price.  Furthermore, for those operating biomass facilities, Gyru-Star presents a fast, efficient, and most importantly, affordable screening solution for processing organic material.  Backfilling Cable and Pipe Trenches   One of the most common uses for Gyru-Star screening buckets is backfilling cable and pipe trenches. Underground cables and pipes must be padded with material of a specific size, to protect them from damage. Gyru-Star screening buckets allow the trench arisings to be turned into a high-quality padding material, eliminating the need to purchase new material or hire large, expensive tracked or static screening plant. Not only this but with Gyru-Star screening buckets, you can screen directly into the trench. This has several benefits, including:  Save time by combining the screening and backfilling processes into a single operation.  The material is spread evenly over the cables or pipes, ready for compaction.  The entire job, from excavation to backfilling, can be done with just one machine.  Save money by recycling waste material, instead of purchasing new padding material.  Easily reach rural or remote sites where HGV access for material delivery may be difficult.  The Gyru-Star MAX range has been designed specifically for backfilling cable and pipe trenches.

Not only is this process far quicker than spreading the soil by hand, but it ensures a more even spread and removes any oversized material.  Spreading Snow on Tulips  In May 2019, the Swedish town of Skövde had the honour of hosting the country’s annual tulip festival. However, that year an abnormally warm winter caused some of the tulips to flower 3 months early. To prevent the rest of the tulips from flowering too early, the organisers had to find a way of keeping the plants cold. However, a solution presented itself in the form of a Gyru-Star screening bucket. Ice shavings, collected from local ice rinks, were spread onto the flowers using the Gyru-Star bucket, to simulate snowfall. This prevented the tulips from flowering early, ensuring they were ready for the mid-May festival.   Removing Volcanic Rock from Farmland  In Korea, one customer has been using their Gyru-Star 4-150MAX to remove volcanic rocks from the soil on their farm, which is located on an extinct volcanic island. If they’re not removed, the rocks can cause damage to both crops and farm equipment. With 4-150MAX makes quick work of removing the rocks, whilst preserving the quality of the topsoil.  Gritting Icy Roads in Winter  One operator in Sweden has been using their Gyru-Star screening bucket to grit icy roads during the winter. Similar to spreading the soil, the process was far faster than spreading by with just a shovel, and the rolling action of the poly-stars broke up any lumps, ensuring an even spread of grit across the road.  Have You Found an Unusual Use for Your Gyru-Star Screening Bucket?  Found an unusual use for your Gyru-Star screening bucket?
