Lower costs on every tonne you screen.
The hidden costs of screening
When you add up a typical screening job, the screen itself is only part of the bill. There's the loader and operator feeding it, transport to and from site, set-up time, fuel for two or three machines, and the cost of carting raw material away when it could have been reused.
How FlipScreen keeps costs down
No extra machines: Your excavator digs and screens, so there's no loader or separate plant to run.
One operator: One person does the whole job from the cab.
Less cartage and tipping: Screen on site and reuse what you can, so fewer trucks leave the gate.
No mobilisation: No float-in, set-up or pack-down of a fixed screen.
Low maintenance: Simple, robust design without the vibration that wears shaker buckets and your machine.
Plug-and-play hydraulics: The Smart Valve system means no costly hydraulic modifications for most machines.
Where the savings show up
The biggest wins usually come from material you no longer have to buy or dump. Turning excavation spoil into fill, rocky soil into topsoil and rock, or concrete into recycled aggregate can change the economics of a job entirely.
Common questions
Is a screening bucket cheaper than hiring a screening plant?
For many jobs, yes. A screening plant hire usually brings transport, set-up and a loader with it. FlipScreen runs on the excavator already on site, so those costs disappear.
What are the ongoing costs of a FlipScreen?
Mainly routine servicing and replacing screens as they wear. Because it doesn't rely on heavy vibration, wear on the bucket and your excavator is kept low.
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.
Screening costs add up fast: machines, operators, fuel, transport, wear parts and tipping fees. FlipScreen strips out most of them by turning the excavator you already run into a complete screening plant.
