Recycling and recovering

Screening and crushing bucket

A bucket whose bottom is taken up by visible blade shafts, material passing through and falling graded under the tool, on an earthworks site.
The cutting elements reduce, the grid grades:
one pass instead of two.
Synthetic image.

It does not merely separate:
it reduces, then it grades.
One pass instead of two, but hydraulics under markedly more strain.

Other names for this tool: crushing and screening bucket, screening and grinding bucket, recovery bucket.

01 Use

What it is for

On the left, clods and roots are crushed and join the fine soil. On the right, the simple screen sets clods and roots aside in a pile of oversize. Computer-generated image.

Left: clods and roots are crushed and join the fine soil.
Right: the simple screen sets clods and roots aside in a pile of oversize.
What sets it apart:
one pass instead of two — the clod and the root are no longer oversize.
Computer-generated image.

Cutting elements reduce the material while it is being stirred, then the grid grades what comes out.
A clod, a root, a piece of green waste are no longer set aside as oversize:
they become part of the finished product.

It is the tool for compost, for topsoil to be reworked and for spoil laden with organic matter.
On hard mineral material, it is not the one you need:
reducing a clod and crushing concrete are two different trades.

Crushing costs energy, and that energy comes out of the machine. A screening and crushing bucket demands more of the hydraulics than a simple screen, and a carrier that is only just adequate on flow will work slowly and get hot.
That is the first check, even before the size of the bucket. See the auxiliary line.

02 What we check with you

On which machine?

A screening and crushing bucket fits a medium or large class excavator or loader.
It attaches to all couplers, via a mounting plate.
The exact class and the coupler details: we calculate them with you for your machine.

What the tool does

It screens and crushes materials to recycle and recover them.
The bucket volume and its weight: we calculate them with you for your machine.

What is needed on the hydraulic side

It needs a double-acting hydraulic circuit.
The flow and pressure: we calculate them with you for your machine.

Your study sets the exact value for your machine.

03 Your study

Have your machine checked.

Tell us what you want to obtain, from what, and in what quantity over the duration of the job.
The bucket is chosen on the finished product, not on the raw material.

What we need to answer you
  • Your machine Its make and its tonnage.
  • The auxiliary circuit Its flow in l/min, its pressure in bar, single- or double-acting.
  • The coupler in place Its system and its class.
  • The work The use, and the material.

Without these details, the study still begins: we will ask you for them.

04 Choice

What determines the choice

  • 01 — The material to be reduced Organic and soft, or mineral and hard:
    it is the question that separates this tool from the crusher.
  • 02 — The fineness aimed at It depends on the grid and on the stirring time, so on the cycle you accept.
  • 03 — The carrier's hydraulics They decide the real output, not the capacity announced.
  • 04 — Access to the cutting elements They wear and are replaced:
    maintenance that is difficult ends up not being done.
05 Check

What is checked before ordering

  • The composition of the material Soil, plant matter, stones, unwanted items.
  • The finished product expected And the use that will be made of it on the site.
  • The flow and the pressure available Read at the end of the dipper arm.
  • The weight and the load chart This tool is heavy, and it often works with the arm extended.
