So you have a dedicated track-mounted mobile crusher on site that is producing hundreds, maybe even thousands of tonnes of potentially valuable material that is mixed with soil, clay or some other contaminant that renders that material all but unusable. What do you so?
Well, in years gone by, the simple answer was to stockpile the material in the possibly vain hope that you might get around to washing it at some point.
However, as this contractor demonstrates with some innovative use of one of our screening buckets, there is now a potentially lucrative alternative:
Although this is not a unique application, we were very impressed by this company’s forward-thinking approach. But here’s a question: What is the most unusual application oyu have seenone of our products used in?

We have found another interesting use for our Dig A Screener product by putting layers of grass into the screening bucket and then letting the screener do its work. What happens is that the good soil is regurgitated and then the sod stays in the screener. Another way of making money out of otherwise useless materials.
We received an enqiury from a well known plant hire company in North East England. Their local council needed a mobile crusher that would crush waste kerbs and concrete on their sites. Their needs were it had to be safe, quiet, easily unblocked, operated by any driver and must work in a confined area.
The plant hire company first saw Dig A Crusher working at SED in 2007. They visited the web site, contacted us and after a brief discussion bought a Dig A Crusher 600 over the phone.
The client explained their desire to create a high value -20mm crushed concrete to be used for concrete mix. The customer tried the Dig a Screener 700 R and was so delighted with the results that he bought that very machine also.
Now the client has reduced his tipping costs and expenditure on bought in materials giving him savings of £17 per tonne.
Loading Shovel washing non ferrous metals in a container
We have the ability to wash all kinds of materials for example scrap metal with the R series. This can be mounted on either a front end loader or excavator. This is a cheap and simple way of removing dirty fines from an otherwise valuable and useable material. No blockages, spillages or digging out from blocked up conveyors. The bucket screener stays in the water for as long as the operator decides is necessary.
Before Washing
As the Dig A Screener R series is on a mobile machine the required working area is very small. Customers no longer need to have large amounts to be processed. Now it can be profitable to wash even the smallest amounts of material. Unlike conventional washing plants this screening bucket is not expensive, does not take up a large amount of of room and can be operated safely by any driver.
It can be used to wash aggregate, sand, wood, rock, ballast etc etc
In short it turns a low value product into a high value product at a very low cost.
