FSL100 Scalping Screen vs Shaker Bucket…

There are a number of benefits to inserting the compact and heavy duty FSL100 Scalping Screen to assist with the screening of multiple different types of feed material. The FSL100 comes complete with a Heavy Duty vibrating double deck livehead feature which can be tailored to the application for the customer. For example in the below video the customer has opted to go for a 75mm punch plate top deck and a 20mm bottom deck which will allow bulky overs to be eliminated completely whilst still allowing for fines of <20mm to be recovered with ease.

If you compare this with the capability of a conventional excavator shaking bucket it is clear to see that the productivity level doesn’t come anywhere close. The bucket offers only one mesh size and therefore that limits the products that can be created. It also takes longer to process the material with the FSL100 being able to process 3/4 buckets full of material in the time it takes for the shaker to process one whilst producing a much cleaner product that will generate more money.

Watch the FSL100 Scalper blow a shaker bucket out of the water in terms of production in Australia.

The main benefits of the FSL100 over the Shaking bucket are :

1 – Higher Production

2 – Lower Disposal Costs

3 – Improved Recovery of Material

Higher Productivity whilst lowering total costs

As can be seen in the video the Excavator working alongside the FSL100 Scalping Screen is able to out process the shaking bucket by around 300-350%. Due to the sheer size of the increase it actually makes the cost per tonne of material processed cheaper which helps justify the spend on two machines rather than just an excavator. In short, the FSL100 is capable of making more money for the end user faster.

Improved recovery of material with lower disposal costs

With the addition of a vibrating livehead the FSL100 is able to recover more oversized material, this is mainly down to the two decks that are made of different meshes. For example, the vibrating grid can have decks of 75mm and 20mm whereas with a shaker bucket you are restricted to just one size of mesh. Vibrations from the livehead stop material sticking in mesh also where as lodged rock in the shaking bucket is fairly common. The more oversized material the less money it will take to get rid of this material by tipping at a quarry rather than a clean fill site.

The quality of the materials that can be retained are greater especially in terms of the fines as <20mm and less can be easily achieved where as the shaking bucket in this instance only catches <75mm.
