Blasted rock
Blasted rock needs fines removed and oversize separated. FlipScreen screens shot rock at the face, producing usable product without a fixed plant.
Processing blasted rock at the work site
Blasted rock needs fines removed and oversize separated. FlipScreen screens shot rock at the face, producing usable product without a fixed plant.
Begin by identifying the fraction of blasted rock you want to recover and where each output will go. A compatible FlipScreen attachment combines collection and size separation in the carrier’s working cycle, allowing the operator to place screened material and retained oversize into separate, planned areas.
Choosing a screen for blasted rock
The selected mesh aperture determines which material passes through and which is retained. Match the screen and bucket configuration to the feed characteristics, the carrier’s capacity and the project requirements. A material trial is a practical way to assess the result before committing to a production workflow.
Choose the mesh around the required size fraction for blasted rock, taking account of moisture, abrasion and the amount of fines in the feed. Screening does not crush oversized pieces or replace washing where that is required. Verify grading and other applicable product requirements before using or supplying the screened material.
Plan your blasted rock screening setup
Provide the FlipScreen team with your carrier make and model, hydraulic specifications, expected feed size and the result you need from blasted rock. Include the material’s condition and any site restrictions so a suitable attachment and screen configuration can be assessed. Plan stockpile positions and material movements before work begins to avoid mixing the separated fractions again.
Blasted rock: screening advantages
How it works: Screen blasted rock at the face or stockpile to separate fines from rock.
The result: Usable fines and graded rock from one pile.
Interchangeable screens: Use large screens for shot rock or finer screens for fines recovery. Screens change over quickly, so one bucket can make several products.
Better than the alternatives: Heavy shot rock punishes shaker buckets. FlipScreen screens without shaking your excavator apart.
Fully portable: FlipScreen goes wherever your excavator goes, so you can screen blasted rock at the dig site with no plant to mobilise, set up or feed.
Lower running costs: No extra plant, fuel or operators. Your excavator and FlipScreen handle the whole job.
Smooth hydraulics: The Smart Valve manages pressures and flows automatically, protecting your machine and keeping the screen running consistently through blasted rock.
The payoff: More saleable product from every blast.
