Reducing the environmental impact of your building projects is about more than just regulatory compliance. It can also save you money, help you win future contracts, and ensure that your business meets industry net zero targets.
While there are numerous ways to reduce your environmental impact, few have such an immediate effect as onsite recycling. There are several reasons to consider onsite recycling:
Reduced material costs
Reduced waste disposal costs
Streamlined operations
Lower transport costs
Fewer delays from late material deliveries
The Problem with Onsite Recycling
Historically, one major problem with recycling material onsite has been cost.
Tracked and static screening plants are the most common solution for onsite recycling. However, these machines are large, expensive to purchase or rent, have high running costs, and require a huge volume of material to be cost-effective.
As a result, onsite recycling has typically been impractical for smaller construction projects and too expensive for many contractors.
However, there is a far more affordable alternative that can turn any excavator, loader, or skid steer into a fast and efficient mobile screening plant.
A Fast, Efficient, and Affordable Screening Solution
Polyurethane star screening buckets are quickly becoming the go-to solution for affordable onsite screening, and Gyru-Star Compact Screening Systems is the global market leader.
Our screening buckets use flexible poly-stars to screen almost any material without crushing or shredding. This removes contaminants and oversize material rather than crushing and mixing it with the product.
This makes Gyru-Star screening buckets highly versatile attachments and ensures a high-quality product every time.
But how can they help you reduce the environmental impact of your construction projects?
How Can a Gyru-Star Screening Bucket Reduce Your Environmental Impact?
Ground Damage and Soil Compaction
With a screening bucket, there’s no need to transport material across the site, as it can be screened right where it’s needed. Moving material around sites with trucks or dumpers can cause damage to the ground or compact the soil.
Furthermore, screening buckets can be fitted to carriers with low ground pressure, allowing screening in places normal screening plants could never reach.
Hydrocarbon Contamination
Gyru-Star screening buckets completely eliminate the risk of hydrocarbon contamination, thanks to their one-of-a-kind driveline. The carbon belt system is entirely free from lubrication and housed inside a sealed driveline cavity. The buckets also use sealed bearings throughout.
These features mean there is no risk of contaminating the material you’re screening with oil or grease. This is the complete opposite of many manufacturers, who generally use chain drives that are left exposed or sealed in oil baths for lubrication.
Emissions
Screening material right where it is needed reduces vehicle movements, cutting emissions. There is also no need for additional machinery onsite, and they can be used with zero-emission carriers.
One of the quickest ways to reduce emissions on your projects is to limit the number of machines onsite.
Noise Pollution
Gyru-Star screening buckets use carbon belt drives, which are much quieter than chain-driven systems. The only noise will be from the carrier, as no additional machinery or generators are required.
Transport
Screening buckets can easily be transported on the same trailer or vehicle as the carrier. This streamlines project transport requirements, further reducing emissions. Additionally, as screening buckets are considerably smaller and lighter than screening plants, they can be moved with smaller vehicles. This can help reduce reliance on HGVs or other heavy vehicles, which can damage the ground around jobsites.
Integrating a Screening Bucket with Your Existing Machinery
Integrating a Gyru-Star screening bucket with your existing machinery is easier than you might think. We offer 31 models across 6 series for 1-30 ton excavators, 1-15 ton loaders, and 1-9 ton skid steers—the largest range on the market.
Each Gyru-Star model is optimised for a specific carrier weight range, ensuring maximum efficiency and performance on any carrier. Furthermore, many of our models are compatible with both excavators and loaders, allowing you to use one bucket across multiple carriers.
We can also supply each screening bucket with a bespoke headplate or interface, so it will be ready to work the moment it arrives onsite.
