Bricks
Demolished bricks are worth saving. FlipScreen separates whole bricks and larger pieces from mortar, dirt and fines so they can be cleaned and reused.
Processing bricks at the work site
Demolished bricks are worth saving. FlipScreen separates whole bricks and larger pieces from mortar, dirt and fines so they can be cleaned and reused.
Begin by identifying the fraction of bricks 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 bricks
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 bricks, 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 bricks screening setup
Provide the FlipScreen team with your carrier make and model, hydraulic specifications, expected feed size and the result you need from bricks. 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.
Bricks: screening advantages
How it works: Screen demolition material to drop fines and keep bricks and larger pieces in the bucket.
The result: Bricks separated from fines and ready for cleaning or reuse.
Interchangeable screens: Use a larger aperture to drop everything but bricks, or finer to recover fill too. Screens change over quickly, so one bucket can make several products.
Better than the alternatives: A grizzly can't separate fines as precisely, and a stationary plant risks breaking bricks with extra handling. FlipScreen does it in one move.
No set-up time: Couple up and start screening bricks straight away, then move to the next stockpile or site the same day.
Fewer machines on site: One excavator digs, screens and stockpiles bricks, cutting fuel, labour and hire costs.
Smooth hydraulics: The Smart Valve manages pressures and flows automatically, protecting your machine and keeping the screen running consistently through bricks.
The payoff: Recovered bricks for reuse and less waste to dispose of.
