The Flip Screen Screening Bucket Case Studies - Screen Aggregates, Separate Materials & Recycle Your Construction, Demolition and Metal Waste

The Flip Screen screening & recycling attachment is a high-volume screener that is super effective in many industries and applications such as:

CIVIL WORKS

Rising sewer: An E80 Flip Screen with a 20mm (13/16”) mesh screen enabled recycling of 100 per cent of project waste and re-use of the spoil dug from the trench as bedding sand. This avoided the need to remove up to 8,300 cubic metres (10,860 cubic yards) of excess spoil and further avoided the need to import about 7,800 cubic metres (10,200 cubic yards) of bedding sand. This also meant that about 1,600 tipping truck movements were saved and significant environmental and project management advantages were achieved (VIC).
Pipeline: An E80 Flip Screen is being used on a 40km (25 mile) water pipeline. The material taken from the trench is screened and used as backfill, preventing the need to purchase and freight in fill (VIC).
Road Construction: An E80 Flip Screen is being used in road construction and maintenance, recovering road base materials onsite and thus eliminating freight in and out as well as external product purchases. They use 3 different sized screens 17mm (5/8"), 25mm (1”) and 50mm (2”) (VIC).
Clean fill: An E130 Flip Screen with a 50mm (2”) mesh screen is segregating waste from clean fill, recovering saleable sand and topsoil at up to 1,056 cubic metres (1,381 cubic yards) per shift (NSW).

CONSTRUCTION & DEMOLITION

Ceramic tiles: Tiles screened from dirt/soil with both the tiles and dirt/soil on-sold to external customers. With a 35mm (1 ½”) mesh and E80 Flip Screen they screen 480 cubic metres (628 cubic yards) per shift and create saleable product from otherwise useless stockpiles (VIC).
Demolition rubble: An E80 with a 75mm (3”) mesh to screen up to 720 cubic metres (942 cubic yards) per shift of building demolition rubble. By efficiently processing onsite the topsoil recovered from the rubble is on-sold or used onsite whilst the costs related to waste disposal are dramatically reduced – in one example a saving of $150,000 was made in waste disposal and transport costs in just 14 days as a direct result of using the Flip Screen (VIC).

LANDFILLS

Landfill reclamation: An L150 Flip Screen is used screen a wide range of waste products and recover clean fill from tip waste as part of a land renewal project that involves filling over an old council/municipal dump site. Contracting to other sites for specific jobs also occurs regularly (SA).
Waste reduction: An E80 is used to screen demolition and green waste in order to prolong the life of their tip/dump site whilst simultaneously on-selling the recovered aggregates (ACT).

BINS

Bins: An E80 Flip Screen is used to screen garbage bin waste to segregate saleable from non-saleable goods, increasing the turnover of bins and dramatically reducing waste needing disposal (NSW).
Waste transfer: An E130 is used screen up to 1,056 cubic metres (1,381 cubic yards) per shift of clean fill from waste – creating saleable sand, dirt and topsoil (NSW).

STEEL/METAL RECYCLING

Foundry: An E130 Flip Screen is used to recover scrap steel from 1,000s of tones of sand/soil which is then used to feed the foundry or on-sold. Before the use of the Flip Screen purchase cost of material to feed the foundry was high and recovery of scrap for on-sale deemed impossible. Payback on the purchase value of their E130 Flip Screen occurs every 3.5 weeks (QLD).
Steel recycling: An E130 Flip Screen is used to screen steel scrap from casting sand. In the past this could not be achieved so the ‘pile’ continued to grow. The savings derived from using their Flip Screen currently sees them expanding Flip Screen use to 4 sites around the country (NSW).

LANDSCAPING

Landscaping supplies: An L150 Flip Screen is used to screen out contaminate (e.g. rocks, sticks etc) from sand, soil, bark etc creating premium productsn (NSW).
Dry stone walls: An E80 Flip Screen is used to recover materials to build dry stone walls for landscaping clients. Numerous sized rocks and stones from client’s private yards are recovered and then used to build decorative driveway walls, swimming pool retaining walls and the like – generating up to $70,000 per job (NSW).

MINING

Coal: An E80 and EX130 Flip Screen are used to recover coal from contaminate (rock) with 80% plus yield achieved first pass (QLD).

QUARRIES

Sandstone: An E80 with a range of 5 mesh screens was used to create 5 new products (i.e. different sized sandstone) thereofre creating many new markets (QLD).
Hard rock: An E130 is used to segregate undersize for road base, with the oversize then crushed more efficiently (QLD).

OTHER

Railway ballast: An L150 Flip Screen is recovering ballast on existing railways negating the need for the railways to purchase and freight in new ballast (WA).
Aluminium dross: An E80 Flip Screen is used to recover every fragment of aluminum dross greater than 35mm (1 1/2") from waste stockpiles to feed into the manufacturing plant – reducing feedstock costs and improving production efficiency (NSW).
Riverstones: An E80 Flip Screen was used to screen river stones from river beds. Using a large purpose built washtub the Flip Screen was also used to wash the stones onsite (NSW).
Fertiliser: An S30 Skid steer Flip Screen was used on a NSW farm to convert downgraded fertiliser into high-analysis fertilizer and lime by screening out excessive oversized lumps (NSW).
