More tonnes screened, fewer hours on the clock.
What really drives screening throughput
Throughput isn't just about how big the bucket is. It comes down to how quickly material passes through the screen, how often the screen blinds or blocks, and how much double handling sits between digging and the finished stockpile.
Most screening setups lose time in the gaps: a loader waiting to feed a fixed plant, an operator stopping to clear a blocked mesh, or trucks moving raw material to a screen and finished product back again.
How FlipScreen keeps production high
One continuous cycle: Dig, screen and place in a single movement from the excavator, with no feeding or rehandling.
Material keeps moving: The rotating screen action turns material over so fines find the apertures quickly.
Clear screens in wet conditions: The optional brush kit keeps meshes open so production doesn't stall when the ground is damp.
Right screen, right job: Interchangeable screens let you match the aperture to the material so you're not forcing fines through the wrong mesh.
Smooth hydraulics: The Smart Valve system keeps pressure and flow consistent, so rotation stays steady bucket after bucket.
Throughput you can see on the job
Because FlipScreen screens straight into a truck, trench, garden bed or stockpile, every bucket is finished product. There's no second pass, no loader shuffling stockpiles and no conveyor to feed. On jobs like topsoil and soil, rocky ground or demolition waste, that removes hours of handling from every day on site.
Common questions
Is a screening bucket faster than a stationary screen?
For many site-based jobs, yes, once you count the whole process. A stationary screen can have high rated capacity, but it needs mobilising, setting up and a loader feeding it. FlipScreen removes those steps, so total material processed per day is often higher on small to mid-sized jobs.
What slows a screening bucket down?
Blinded screens, the wrong aperture and inconsistent hydraulics. FlipScreen tackles all three with the brush kit, quick-change screens and the Smart Valve system.
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.
Throughput is the number that decides whether a screening job makes money. FlipScreen is built to keep material moving through the screen with every bucket, so your excavator spends its time producing finished product, not waiting on a clogged screen or a second machine.
