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
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?
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.
