01 / Challenge
Operating in Baton Rouge, where rain falls nearly six months of the year, excessive mud contamination made concrete recycling extremely difficult. Traditional screening plants and small trommels failed to effectively separate mud from concrete. Wet material reduced recovery rates, increased waste, and made it challenging to produce clean, reusable aggregate. The business needed a screening solution capable of handling heavy moisture while maintaining efficiency and product recovery.
02 / Solution
After researching alternatives, the team invested in a larger FlipScreen unit. The machine’s agitation and ability to work effectively with water allowed it to break apart mud-bound material and cleanly separate concrete from slurry. Unlike previous equipment, the FlipScreen processed wet material efficiently, minimizing blockages and maximizing usable output. Its performance in real-world wet conditions proved superior to conventional screening methods previously used.
03 / Result
The FlipScreen became the most successful machine the company has used for separating mud from concrete. It significantly reduced waste and prevented valuable rock from being discarded. Even in consistently wet conditions, the operation now achieves clean material recovery with minimal loss. The business reports high satisfaction with both performance and support, and considers the machine a critical part of its recycling operation.
