Recycled aggregate
Recycled aggregate is only valuable when it's properly graded. FlipScreen screens crushed material on site, producing consistent products without trucking it to a fixed plant.
Processing recycled aggregate at the work site
Recycled aggregate is only valuable when it’s properly graded. FlipScreen screens crushed material on site, producing consistent products without trucking it to a fixed plant.
Begin by identifying the fraction of recycled aggregate 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 recycled aggregate
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 recycled aggregate, 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 recycled aggregate screening setup
Provide the FlipScreen team with your carrier make and model, hydraulic specifications, expected feed size and the result you need from recycled aggregate. 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.
Recycled aggregate: screening advantages
How it works: Screen crushed recycled material to produce graded aggregate and fines.
The result: Consistent recycled aggregate for road base, drainage and fill.
Interchangeable screens: Swap screens to produce multiple aggregate grades from one stockpile. One FlipScreen, multiple products from the same stockpile.
Why FlipScreen wins: Stationary screens need transport, setup and a loader. FlipScreen screens from the excavator wherever the crushing happens.
One machine, one operator: FlipScreen turns your excavator into a mobile screening plant for recycled aggregate, with no loader feeding a separate screen.
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 recycled aggregate.
Bottom line: Lower material costs and less waste sent off site.
