What is a bucket screener?

A bucket screener is a screener attachment for excavators or skid steers used to separate and screen materials such as soil, sand, gravel, and other aggregates directly on-site. The bucket screener works by rotating and agitating the material within the bucket, allowing smaller particles to pass through the mesh while retaining larger materials. Bucket screeners are widely used in construction, demolition, and landscaping to recycle materials, reduce waste, and improve efficiency by eliminating the need for transporting material off-site for screening.

History of bucket screeners

Bucket screeners are a relatively recent invention, evolving from the need for more mobile and versatile material processing equipment. Bucket screeners gained popularity as industries like construction and recycling sought on-site screening solutions to reduce labor, transportation, and material handling costs. With advancements in hydraulic technology and more durable materials, modern bucket screeners are now robust tools capable of handling various aggregate materials, making them indispensable for small to medium-scale screening operations.
