Interchangeable Screens: The Right Aperture for Every Job

Interchangeable Screens: The Right Aperture for Every Job

One bucket, many products.

Why aperture size matters

The aperture is the cut point. Too big and oversize slips through; too small and you slow production and lose usable material. The right screen gives you the product you need at the speed you want.

How to choose a screen

  • Fine apertures: Garden soil, turf underlay, compost, potting mix and sands.

  • Medium apertures: General fill, pipeline padding, road base and soil blends.

  • Coarse apertures: Scalping rocks, demolition waste, land clearing debris and first-pass debris removal.

Why FlipScreen's approach wins

Shaker buckets and grizzlies are often limited in how easily you can change the cut. Fixed plants can need significant downtime to swap decks. FlipScreen's quick-change screens keep the changeover short, so you can respond to whatever the day throws at you.

Common questions

How long does it take to change a FlipScreen screen?

Screens are designed to be changed quickly on site. Talk to the FlipScreen team about the process for your model.

Which screen should I start with?

Start with the screen that matches your most common job. Most operators add a second or third size as they take on new work.

Why FlipScreen is the best choice

Portable, versatile and built to work, FlipScreen gives you a complete screening plant on your excavator. Interchangeable screens, the brush kit for wet material and plug-and-play Smart Valve hydraulics mean one bucket covers more jobs, in more conditions, at lower cost. Talk to the FlipScreen team to find the right model for your machine.

Different jobs need different cut sizes. FlipScreen's interchangeable screens let you change apertures quickly, so the same bucket can produce fine garden soil, general fill, drainage stone or recycled aggregate.
