Screen Wet and Sticky Materials with the FlipScreen Brush Kit

Rain on site doesn't have to stop the screening.

Why wet material is so hard to screen

Moisture makes fines stick to each other and to the screen. The apertures clog (known as blinding), material stops passing through, and the operator has to stop and clear it. Shaker buckets and fixed screens are especially prone to this in wet, sticky material.

How the brush kit solves it

The FlipScreen brush kit sits against the screen and sweeps the mesh clean as it turns. That keeps apertures open, so fines continue to pass through even when the material is damp or sticky.

Materials that benefit most

  • Clay and subsoil

  • Topsoil, loam and garden soil

  • Compost, manure and mushroom compost

  • Dam silt, drain spoil and dredge material

Common questions

Can FlipScreen screen soaking wet material?

The brush kit helps FlipScreen handle damp and sticky material that would stop many screens. Very saturated material can still be challenging for any screen, so a coarser aperture can help on the wettest days.

Is the brush kit standard?

The brush kit is an option. Talk to the FlipScreen team about adding it to your bucket.
